Integrated safety workflows
Predictive maintenance strategies reduce unplanned downtime by up to 50% and prevent costly production interruptions worth £210,000+ per hour.
Stay compliant with HSE, ISO 45001, and Environment Agency standards while reducing workplace accidents by up to 14% through proactive maintenance.
Achieve 18-25% reduction in maintenance expenditures by optimising schedules and eliminating unnecessary repairs.
An integrated steel mill with 3 blast furnaces and multiple rolling lines reduced equipment downtime by 52% and improved OEE from 71% to 86% after implementing Oxmaint's comprehensive maintenance system, saving over £980,000 annually.
Up from 71% with Oxmaint implementation
Annual maintenance cost reduction
Work order completion time
"Oxmaint's predictive maintenance reduced our rolling mill downtime by 48% and helped us identify bearing failures weeks before they occurred. The mobile app works reliably in our harsh environment, and HSE compliance tracking helped us pass audits with zero violations."

Integrated Steel Mill - 3 blast furnaces, 8 rolling lines based in South Yorkshire
"The meter-based maintenance scheduling transformed how we manage our EAF operations. We now trigger maintenance based on heats processed rather than arbitrary calendars, extending equipment life by 20% while reducing emergency repairs."

Oxmaint supports the complete steel manufacturing process including blast furnaces, basic oxygen furnaces (BOF), electric arc furnaces (EAF), continuous casters, hot strip mills, cold rolling mills, reheat furnaces, ladle cranes, torpedo cars, conveyor systems, and all auxiliary equipment. Our deep asset hierarchy supports tracking from plant level down to individual components like bearings and refractories.
Unlike calendar-based maintenance, Oxmaint triggers maintenance tasks based on actual operational metrics relevant to steel production. This includes tonnage produced, number of heats processed, operating hours, casts completed, or other production cycles. For example, ladle refractory relining can be scheduled after 80-100 heats or when shell temperature exceeds specified thresholds, ensuring optimal timing for maintenance interventions.
Yes, Oxmaint's mobile app is designed for industrial environments with offline-first functionality. Technicians can complete inspections, log work orders, and capture data even in areas with limited connectivity near furnaces, cranes, or under mill housings. Data syncs automatically when connection is restored. The app supports ruggedised devices rated for high heat, dust, and moisture conditions common in steel plants.
Oxmaint provides pre-configured templates and tracking for HSE workplace safety standards, ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management, Environment Agency environmental regulations including emissions monitoring and waste management, and fire safety standards. Our permit-to-work system integrates directly into maintenance workflows, ensuring safety protocols are followed in hazardous steel plant environments.
Yes, Oxmaint provides API-based integration with SCADA systems, ERP platforms like SAP and Oracle, condition monitoring systems, and IoT sensor networks. This enables real-time data flow from sensors and PLCs to trigger predictive maintenance alerts, synchronise inventory with procurement systems, and correlate maintenance activities with production data for comprehensive operational visibility.
Join leading UK steel manufacturers who trust Oxmaint to optimise their maintenance operations, maximise equipment uptime, and ensure regulatory compliance in demanding 24/7 production environments.
