Some of the key challenges for plant asset management include:
Contradictory information
Once the information has been found, there may be conflicting information in various documents. This often means that someone needs to go out into the facility to see exactly what is installed.
Incomplete information
Another common situation is that not all the information needed to prepare and resolve a work order is available in the maintenance system. Older maintenance systems may also lack mobile solutions.
Ineffective working processes
Taken altogether, these issues result in maintenance technicians needing to work in several different systems in order to carry out each work order.
Information security
Can maintenance staff access all necessary data for their tasks without granting them full access to all systems?
Mobility
Can employees access the information they need anywhere on site?
Plant modifications
What deliverables are affected and where can the latest revisions be accessed?
