PlantManager ASSET
Achieve end-to-end asset lifecycle management capabilities by recording damage management locations (DMLs), managing inspection activities, and calculating fully quantitative API 581 risk assessments for inspection optimization.
PlantManager SAGE
Analyze assets with a collection of mechanical engineering modules for conducting comprehensive evaluation and analysis into the design, condition, and compliance of new and in-service equipment.
What is an IDMS?
An inspection data management system (IDMS) is an essential software tool for companies focused on proactive asset lifecycle management. Choosing the right IDMS for your facility will help you to improve asset reliability, reduce the risk of equipment failure, and optimize maintenance activities.
With so many IDMS options available, how do you choose the right software platform for your plant?
- Customizable & Scalable: Implement modular, cloud-native software tools that allow facilities to add or subtract functionality based upon need.
- Data & Document Management: Catalog inspection, design and engineering documentation, and reliability data to easily access mechanical integrity documents and asset records.
- Integrated: Initiate fitness-for-service (FFS), risk-based inspection (RBI), and other integrity analyses directly from inspection results.
- Cloud-native: Achieve faster calculations using superior performance hardware and always have access to the latest software updates.
- Reporting & Activity Management: Monitor and analyze inspection activities for timely equipment delivery and issue escalation.
- Secure: Use software that is certified to ISO 9001:2015 quality standard and SOC1 compliance.
Inspection Planning & Management: PlantManager ASSET
PlantManager ASSET is a cloud-native planning and inspection lifecycle operations technology that will disrupt the traditional IDMS space. PlantManager ASSET provides end-to-end asset lifecycle management capabilities by managing inspection activities, recording damage management locations (DMLs), and calculating fully quantitative API 581 risk assessments for inspection optimization.
PlantManager ASSET delivers:
- Tools to comply with OSHA process safety management (PSM) standards and industry inspection standards (API 510, 570, and 653)
- Risk-based inspection (RBI) calculations
- Enhanced corrosion analysis technology
- Advanced analysis for fitness-for-service (FFS) assessments
Two Methods for Managing Damage
PlantManager ASSET incorporates unique functionality that enables companies to easily monitor and manage existing damage such as thinning or cracking and proactively observe and mitigate potential damage.
Depending on your needs, you can choose either the damage monitoring location (DML) or condition monitoring location (CML) workflows.
Damage Management Location (DML)
DMLs are the regions on a component that are identified to have active damage or defects that require a fitness-for-service (FFS) evaluation.
PlantManager ASSET uses a proprietary workflow to automate and guide the appropriate damage data collection and seamlessly incorporate FFS calculations using PlantManager SAGE.
Benefit:
- Guide the damage data collection process
- Incorporate FFS calculations
- Make accurate & timely engineering decisions
Condition Monitoring Location (CML)
CMLs are specific locations on pressure vessels and piping where monitoring is conducted to observe potential damage and corrosion.
PlantManager ASSET uses the patented CorrSolutions Bayesian optimized asset reliability (BOAR) methodology to provide better and more predictive CML results
Benefit:
- Quality check circuitization
- Quantify localized and generalized corrosion
- Apply informed corrosion rates to RBI program
