Consider an offshore company with dozens of drilling platforms spread around the world. Each platform uses IBM Maximo, and there are also several other administrative systems in use. The only problem is that there are no good internet connections to get data from the systems to headquarters and vice versa. Occasionally a 4G or satellite connection is available, but such a connection is not always stable and costs money for every megabyte that goes over the line.

Automatic replication

With new, advanced low-latency replication software from Gemba, you can effectively and cost-efficiently exchange maintenance and administrative data between these types of offline locations and headquarters. Gemba Replication tracks changes in a system on both sides and replicates this data. The replicated data is compressed and sent as soon as an internet connection is available. Attachments such as inspection data, work instructions or invoices are also included. If the process fails along the way, it stops automatically and restarts. This happens until the data is synchronized on both sides.

Control over replication

The entire replication and synchronization process takes place in the background, so you don’t have to do anything. At the same time, the process is visually transparent at any time per location with Gemba Replication. You can see the situation in near real-time and always know whether a synchronization has been successful. You can also easily indicate which data from a location you do or do not want to have replicated. This way you combine convenience with control.

Also for IBM Maximo Application Suite

Gemba Replication – based on globally proven technology – is widely applicable. You can create a link with most databases and therefore with many systems. In addition to IBM Maximo, this includes IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS), but you can also think of financial or other administrative systems. Gemba’s replication software is platform-independent; it does not matter whether you use Windows or Linux systems. Moreover, this ‘lightweight’ solution does not require any additional infrastructure. With the standard templates developed by Gemba, we also have your data replicated quickly.
