Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas), an international energy company based in Malaysia, enhanced its operational efficiency by 70% through the implementation of Liquid UI Offline for SAP EWM. Operating in over 100 countries, Petronas faced significant challenges with intermittent connectivity on oil rigs, which disrupted productivity, delayed inventory tracking, and increased the risk of asset loss due to reliance on manual, error-prone methods during SAP system downtimes.
To address these issues, Petronas adopted Liquid UI Offline, a solution that allows for data collection and synchronization without the need for constant network connectivity. This system operates on the principles of Single Source of Truth (SSOT) and UI Mirroring, ensuring that all data collected offline is accurately uploaded to the SAP ERP system once connectivity is restored. The solution maintains the same user interface as the standard SAP screens, minimizing user errors and eliminating the need for additional training.
Key benefits realized from implementing Liquid UI Offline include:
- A 70% increase in operational efficiency.
- A 35% boost in productivity for maintenance personnel.
- Reduced time spent on training and IT support.
The Liquid UI components used by Petronas include Liquid UI Offline, Liquid UI for Handheld Scanguns, Liquid UI Server, and Liquid UI for Android, specifically within the SAP Warehouse Management module. This comprehensive solution not only improved the reliability and accuracy of data handling but also ensured continuous workflow continuity and synchronization across all locations, significantly enhancing Petronas’ overall operational effectiveness.
