ENTERPRISE ASSET MANAGEMENT (EAM)
With an EAM system, companies can centralize all their asset information in one place, making it easier to monitor and optimize the assets and proactively inspect and maintain them. Planning and scheduling of tasks and workers is streamlined and automated, leading to increased productivity, while also safeguarding both workers and the environment. Key benefits include:
- Integrated data stores
A centralized view of the operation incorporates data from all types of assets, regardless of source or location. This single blueprint can be used to coherently monitor asset performance, plan for inspection and maintenance work, and minimize disruptions to productivity. - Real-time decision-making
Time-consuming, paper-based reporting and stale or inaccurate information is replaced with real-time data. Predictive analytics support proactive maintenance and repairs, with the necessary work automatically scheduled. Critical assets can be prioritized to optimize productivity, and resiliency is augmented when responding to or managing emergencies and unexpected scenarios. - End-to-end lifecycle management
The entire lifecycle of an asset is managed. Data from assets can be integrated with maintenance processes to predict and visualize asset status and behavior from cradle to grave. Performance benchmarks are clearly defined, highlighting when immediate attention is needed for equipment that is underperforming. - Improved environmental, health, and safety measures
Potential outcomes can be identified proactively and action can be taken before an asset failure causes worker injuries and accidents. Spills, fires, and other harmful outcomes are avoided, safeguarding the environment. Carbon footprints are reduced by running equipment optimally and minimizing resources used in maintenance cycles such as truck rolls and other heavy equipment. Compliance with regulatory bodies can be easily proven to preclude liability.
