Manage overall asset performance to identify and prioritise production risks

Technews Industry Guide - Maintenance, Reliability & Asset Optimisation 2016 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

Use AMS Suite (Asset Management Software Suite) interfaced with Meridium’s APM (Asset Performance Monitor) framework to maximise asset performance, mitigate risk, and optimise maintenance costs. AMS Suite and APM consolidate data from assets in a facility and allow users to define, view and measure metrics to analyse asset performance.

AMS Suite and APM integrate data from thousands of assets throughout the plant into a single application. Not only process variables are visible, but also a wealth of information on equipment health and performance. With this information, producers can avoid unplanned downtime and keep maintenance spending within budget.

Get the information needed to extract maximum performance from operations – both processes and people. AMS Suite and APM deliver immediate, actionable information to keep the focus on business goals.

Get the information needed to keep the plant running smoothly

• Gain a broad view of critical asset details across the enterprise to guide decision-making.

• Immediately focus on the areas that need attention with information targeted to specific functions.

• Schedule and create meaningful reports to discover trends and identify bad actors.

• Receive real-time mobile alerts on problematic assets to manage production risks.

• Establish goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) to drive improvements that deliver business results.

• Collaborate with Reliability Consulting Services to maximise the value of smart devices and AMS Suite.

Reports and metrics deliver key asset details

AMS Suite and APM make finding the information needed simple and efficient. Users can customise their homepage with the information most used, including charts, graphs, and links to more details. Create queries to delve deeper into the asset data to target specific problems and identify root causes.

Create and track custom metrics to reveal under-performing assets and develop world-class maintenance strategies and practices. KPI results are displayed graphically in charts, graphs, and dials, so producers can always see how their performance compares to goals. Reports can be generated from any query or data options in the database. Schedule report generation for common reports and manually create reports for unique situations. Reports can be emailed to colleagues or posted to the APM homepages for online collaboration.

Improve business results

AMS Suite and APM integrate with the CMMS system to create work notifications based on asset condition and performance. CMMS integration allows the entire organisation to drive common goals by uniting asset information with business data to fuel key metrics.
