Enterprise asset management

A wide range of services and business processes depend continuously on high-value physical assets. Transport systems, pipelines, cables, sections of plant, maintenance depots and mobile teams… these are just some of the assets that must perform well, all the time, to keep the economy running, regulators happy and customers satisfied. 

This particularly important for the Utility sector, either upstream or downstream, and how do these organizations squeeze the ultimate performance from their many vital assets? The answer is enterprise asset management (EAM), a ACI focus area bringing together information systems, methodologies and a deep understanding of asset-intensive industries, in order to help businesses plan, maintain and co-ordinate their assets.

Our approach to EAM is based on our experience and international delivery capability; it brings together live information from an extensive portfolio of geographically-dispersed assets to form a dynamic, detailed picture of the operational landscape. Combined with advanced mobile technologies, this integrated view encourages people and assets to behave as one coherent organization. The result: a dramatically increased level of control and certainty.

Our EAM approach is structured around four functional areas:

Asset and work management (AWM) – managing the entire lifecycle of assets and the activities of the people who build and maintain them, supporting them with actionable information so they can work more productively in the office, factory and field, as well as the information to support ongoing maintenance and investment

Geospatial information systems (GIS) – determining and exploiting the geographic location of assets and resources using global positioning technology, aerial and inertial surveys to manage activity on them optimally, improving performance and saving cost

Asset maintenance management  (AMM) – monitoring the condition of assets supported by wireless and mobile technologies and controlling their operations remotely and in the field, for example through Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. 

Asset information management (AIM) – ensuring that just the right source data is reliably collected and integrated to enable business processes to run at maximum efficiency, making the most of the wealth of data available
