What is Kheoos?
Kheoos is a leader in the reuse of industrial maintenance spare parts. This innovative platform helps optimize maintenance parts management by cleaning your data for better visibility, identifying duplicates, and preventing unnecessary purchases. It’s a community platform for the reuse of industrial maintenance parts at large scale… Over time, manufacturers accumulate stocks of maintenance parts that they will no longer use, and these dormant stocks, estimated to be worth 3 billion euros in Europe, are often destined for destruction. Kheoos changes the game by using advanced algorithms to scan global databases and recognize parts automatically. This seamless approach scans technical descriptions, photos, and market prices, then offers them on various channels, including the highly visible marketplace at kheoosmarket.com.
Main Benefit: Enhanced Maintenance Management
Kheoos delivers key benefits that ensure operations run smoothly without unexpected surprises. Some of the vital figures and facts include:
- Detection of duplicate parts, simplifying data management
- Visualization of common references for clearer inventory overview
- Anticipation of obsolescence to secure the equipment at the right time
- Enabling the selling of surplus parts, thereby freeing up cash flow
- Facilitating the purchase of necessary parts at lower costs through a circular economy marketplace
- Massive identification: In just a few months, the platform has recognized 10 million parts, with 5 million already on sale on its marketplace
Optimized Parts Management for Maintenance
Kheoos helps optimize maintenance parts management in a dynamic way… The platform’s approach is straightforward: clean your data to improve visibility, identify your duplicates, and avoid unnecessary expenditures. It brings clarity and accessibility to an often cluttered stock of parts, ensuring that maintenance operations have the best chance to run efficiently. The solution for maintenance is not only about recognition but also about enabling users to truly understand their inventory. With benefits like anticipating the obsolescence of parts and streamlining the identification process through artificial intelligence, Kheoos acts as a safeguard for both equipment reliability and operational cost management.
Staying Ahead of Obsolescence
Anticipating the obsolescence of maintenance parts is critical… Obsolete parts can paralyze operations, leading to costly production stoppages and immobilized resources. The platform provides a systematic approach to identify parts at risk, analyze and manage potential risks, and finally value obsolete parts that could still hold market or operational relevance. Typical reasons for obsolescence include the end of production by the manufacturer, aging equipment, supply chain tensions, and regulatory or environmental constraints. By identifying these factors early, Kheoos ensures equipment is secured, operations are maintained, and unexpected downtime is minimized.
The Circular Economy and Its Marketplace
One of the most dynamic aspects of Kheoos is its contribution to the circular economy. This solution for buyers and RSE managers (responsible for sustainability) fundamentally transforms the way industrial maintenance parts are bought and sold. Instead of letting valuable spare parts go to waste, the platform allows industrialists to add value to their dormant stocks. An organized marketplace, which includes features for technical description, attractive images, and accurate market pricing, invites industrial operators to sell surplus parts—freeing up cash flow—and, simultaneously, enables buyers to find rare parts that extend the life of their equipment, all while promoting sustainability. As the marketplace grows, more parts are rescued from obsolescence and reused, contributing to a healthier industrial ecosystem.
Project Impact
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – By revolutionizing spare parts management and encouraging innovation in data handling.
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – Through the reuse of dormant stocks, less waste is generated, promoting a sustainable lifecycle for industrial assets.
- SDG 13: Climate Action – Saving resources and reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing new parts aligns with efforts to combat climate change.
- SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth – Rescuing and repurposing industrial parts creates economic opportunities and supports continued industrial growth.
The Future Vision of an Engaged Community
Kheoos is more than just a marketplace—it is a community built around the concept of reusing industrial maintenance spare parts. The platform not only emphasizes the technical benefits like cleaning up data, detecting duplicates, and anticipating obsolescence, but also fosters a sense of belonging among industry professionals who share the common goal of sustainability and efficiency. With an engaging and dynamic interface that mimics natural language—complete with casual pauses and intuitive interactions—users are encouraged to explore solutions for maintenance, join the team, or simply connect by reading the Kheoos Blog. The community aspect is vital… Industrialists, maintenance professionals, and RSE managers find common ground here, united by the idea that the reuse of spare parts is both economically and environmentally beneficial. This shared vision is turning what was once a potential loss (dormant stocks) into a significant asset for industries across Europe, illustrating that sometimes, with a little innovation and smart technology, even the old can have a new lease on life.
