Hidden downtime reduces throughput
Short failures, delayed start-ups and recurring stops are easy to overlook. Together, they consume operating time and reduce throughput.
Keep more material moving. Keep costs down.
Lost productive time adds up fast—reducing throughput and increasing the cost of every ton you process.
VIDIM shows where productive time is being lost, what needs attention, and gives you the operating context needed to do something about it.

Results reflect process optimisation, reduced equipment failures and downtime, cost savings and avoided compliance penalties. Actual results will vary.
Every lost minute erodes throughput and margin
Recovery and recycling facilities need to keep material moving while controlling downtime, maintenance effort, compliance and energy use.
Plant information is scattered, outdated and inaccurate
Throughput, inventory, maintenance and compliance data often sit in separate systems. Getting a clear, updated picture means checking multiple sources, and often recollecting the data.
Feedback is late
Quality checks on material happen at the shift end. If they were done before, process could have been sped up to make more money, or sped down to avoid penalty. VIDIM allows timely adjustment.
Compliance takes time and creates risk
Manual recording and reporting take time. Paper-based records can make it difficult to prove who completed an activity, when and where. And quantities seem never to add up to totals.
Critical know-how leaves with people
When experienced staff leave, tacit knowledge leaves with them. New hires must relearn what was never documented or made reusable.
More throughput. Less waste. Better visibility.
VIDIM connects operator work, maintenance, compliance and operational data so plant teams can see what is happening and act from the same information.
Turn hidden operating losses into measurable improvement
See where performance is being lost - and where to act.
Give managers real-time visibility and long-term insight into throughput, inventory, compliance and energy use.
Track downtime causes, delays and recurring stops.
Identify and reduce hidden inefficiencies, from equipment failures and late start-ups to process and energy waste.
Keep material flow under control
See what material is on site, where it is stored and how quantities change over time. Identify accumulation early, coordinate movements and stay aware of storage or permit limits.
Keep critical know-how in the plant not just in people’s heads
Capture experience.
Keep procedures, troubleshooting knowledge and asset history accessible to the team.
Train people faster.
Give new operators proven instructions and guidance directly where work happens.
Troubleshoot faster.
See how similar problems were handled before instead of starting from scratch.
Improve continuously.
Link recurring issues with corrective actions and keep better ways of working reusable.
Use Cases
-
Productivity
Know what the plant is really delivering. Track throughput and production performance, then use it as the reference KPI to compare downtime, maintenance, energy and process changes.
-
Storage Management
Know what is on site and where. Keep material quantities and storage status visible to improve space and material flow while supporting permit limits and compliance requirements.
-
In & Out
Keep every material movement under control. See what arrived or left, when and with which material. Improve vehicle and forklift coordination, track turnaround times and keep movement records traceable.
-
Maintenance
Keep the plant running efficiently. Plan and improve maintenance around real operating needs, reducing avoidable downtime and helping increase tonnes processed per operating hour.
-
Compliance
Turn obligations into controlled workflows. Replace repetitive paper, spreadsheets and manual follow-up with guided checks, deadlines and traceable evidence making it easier to know what is complete and what still needs attention.
Designed for people. Built to fit your existing systems.
Introducing a new system shouldn’t mean additional work. VIDIM is designed to be easy for operators to adopt and to integrate with the equipment, software and processes already in place. And requires minimal time and effort to setup.
Quick and Easy for operators
- Simple field interaction: Phone-based access at the asset.
- Offline-ready: Work where connectivity is unreliable.
- Existing knowledge stays useful: Import existing lists, instructions and documentation.
- Less administration: Capture evidence while doing the work.
Easy to integrate
- Use VIDIM as the CMMS or alongside one.
- Synchronize asset hierarchy with external systems.
- Use data from automation systems, equipment and devices.
- Extend with sensors, without intervention on existing systems.
Visibility that helps teams improve performance
“Reporting on plant downtime and production shifts allows me to remotely check, day by day, when each shift started and ended and any downtime events that occurred, so that I can carry out economic analyses of the plant’s profitability for that day. Thanks to VIDIM, we can better understand how to optimise production shifts with a view to reducing energy consumption.”
Idealservice is one of Italy's leading companies in the design, construction, and management of municipal waste sorting facilities. VIDIM has been implemented across its materials sorting and recycling operations.
Built to stay. Built to expand.
VIDIM is built together with the people who use it. As customers expand its use across plants, processes and applications, the platform evolves with their operational needs.
