Solutions
for Enterprise Asset Management 4.0
New potentials through innovative technologies
Digital transformation
for more transparency and sustainability
Changing legal framework conditions in terms of sustainability as well as rising energy prices but also increased demands on your own risk management increasingly require you to operate your plants highly efficiently. This includes aspects such as continuous optimization of downtimes, maintenance and storage costs, or energy efficiency, for example. At the same time, it is important to act as flexibly as possible in the face of increasing pressure from changes in the market, competitors or technologies. The basis for successful long-term business is transparency and efficient processes.
Only a company-wide view of all available data, such as plant conditions, costs or key figures, enables rapid and qualitatively better decisions. Digitalization offers a wide range of solutions that support plant operators in bringing the necessary transparency to the processes and key figures of the plant and at the same time making their own work planning and execution more efficient. Based on an enterprise asset management system, the possibilities currently range from the targeted use of sensors and condition monitoring to the establishment of an industrial IoT (IIoT) and the analytical support of asset sustainability performance management.
Enterprise Asset Management
The introduction of an enterprise asset management solution in a plant leads to fewer downtimes and higher availability. This results in increased efficiency, better asset performance, and lower costs. Strategies such as predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, or preventive maintenance are used to reduce downtime, extend asset life, and improve profitability.
Asset Performance Management
Asset Performance Management (APM) encompasses the capabilities of data collection, integration, visualization and analysis with the explicit goal of improving asset performance and operational behavior. An initial approach to APM includes a variety of elements, such as maintenance and reliability analysis. Advanced APM solutions such as predictive maintenance systems, fault diagnostics, and asset optimization help improve asset performance and make operations more efficient.
Shutdown and Turnaround Management
By optimizing the planning of inspection periods in terms of time, resources and costs, we can ensure that maintenance work is planned and carried out efficiently and downtime is kept to a minimum. Our EAM solutions provide tools and functions that enable companies to optimize the use of resources such as personnel and materials. At the same time, potential hazards and corresponding precautionary measures are taken into account to meet HSE requirements and ensure the safety of the people involved.

Dismantling 360°
Nuclear decommissioning projects are large-scale projects with long project durations and high complexity. During dismantling, various phases such as decommissioning, dismantling and residual material processing must be interlinked. Many people are involved in the process and the required data is usually distributed in a wide variety of systems.
Space Management
Space management combines Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to help companies organize and optimize their resources. It helps identify synergies and conflicts between activities and manage restricted areas, storage areas and temporary assignments. CAD connections allow easier management of plans and drawings indoors, while map connections from GIS systems outdoors can provide a more accurate picture of the distribution of assets and resources across the area, including additional dimensions such as weather, weather forecasts or other environmental factors.
Digital Assistance Systems
Our EAM solutions offer a wide range of digital tools, such as mobile applications and augmented and virtual reality technologies, to make mobile maintenance and servicing of assets more effective and efficient. With our mobile apps, workers on site have quick and easy access to relevant information anytime, anywhere, and can document activities directly at the asset. AR and VR technologies improve the accuracy and efficiency of maintenance work and help optimize maintenance processes.
Digital Factory & EAM
The combination of enterprise asset management (EAM) and the digital factory provides companies with a comprehensive view of their assets and processes. This enables faster responses to changes and improved decision-making through real-time data and analytics. With this combination, maintenance activities can be optimized and made more efficient. Faults can be detected early and corrected before they lead to failure. This maximizes asset reliability.
Digital planning and construction processes
Digital design and construction processes, Building Information Modeling (BIM), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and digital twins can already provide added value and lay crucial foundations in the design, construction and conversion of plants. IIoT sensor technology can be placed in the plant to enable remote monitoring and control of construction projects and, most importantly, set the stage for advanced condition monitoring and asset performance management. Digital twins use models and data from the real plant to represent, predict and optimize its performance. Virtual reality solutions offer simulation possibilities already in the construction phase.
Analytics & Observability
Applying the concepts of observability and analytics to enterprise asset management (EAM) offers a variety of benefits. Observability enables organizations to monitor their assets in real time and identify potential problems early to perform proactive maintenance and repair. This enables the minimization of downtime and the maximization of asset life. Integrating analytics with EAM provides deeper analysis of operational data to identify trends and patterns. These insights help companies optimize business processes and make strategic decisions based on data.
