Asset Performance Technologies Announces Latest Expansion of its Asset Strategy Library

ALBUQUERQUE, NM - JANUARY 15, 2016

Asset Performance Technologies, Inc. (APT) announced today that it has released the 17th version of its Asset Strategy Library (Release 17). APT already provides the most comprehensive library of FMEA tables and asset strategies for equipment in asset-intensive industries, and with this expansion covers even more of the needs of the maintenance & reliability professional. This addition to the library shows APT’s continued dedication to ensuring that its clients have the ability to better manage the preventative maintenance of over 650 types of equipment commonly found in most plants.

In short, the ASL is a database of expert wisdom to:

  • expedite RCM analyses of your maintenance strategies
  • shorten time-to-value of your CMMS and other software implementations,
  • improve profitability of your business by doing the right maintenance at the right times for YOUR plant(s).

ASL-R17 contains 650 equipment types (58 new and 9 updates), including:

  • 46,000 Degradation Mechanisms (FMEA rows), ~70 per type
  • 4,100 PM Tasks and Intervals (PM Templates), ~6 per type.

“It’s not just data. It’s something much more valuable. It’s the wisdom from equipment experts on how equipment fails and how to best avoid those failures.” - Mark S Benak, CEO

ASL-R17 was generated by industry subject matter experts (SMEs), who represent over 26,000 man-years of experience across multiple plants and industries. The ASL degradation mechanisms (FMEA) and PM templates (asset strategies) are valid for the complete range of known operating conditions. With PM task effectiveness mapped to each degradation mechanism, the ASL sets a new standard for PMO and APM in asset-intensive industries. The ASL is also available in the Meridium and Bentley Assetwise APM products.

Condition Monitoring with a Digital Camera

The oil and gas industry has become critical for sustained operations and long-term asset reliability. When it comes to condition monitoring, expensive technologies, extensive training, and years of development often come to mind, especially regarding rotating equipment. Tools, such as vibration spectrum analysis, thermal imaging, oil lubrication analysis, and motor current analysis, provide valuable snapshots in time and have been useful in practice for quite some time.

Beyond the Bellows: How One Root Cause Failure Analysis Sparked Cultural Transformation in Refinery Reliability

Sometimes, technical problems are symptoms of deeper cultural and operational issues. This article explores how a deep dive into recurring fluid catalytic cracker (FCC) expansion joint failures led to far-reaching insights, not just about metallurgy and maintenance, but about a refinery's decision-making, communications and reliability culture. It’s a case where the root cause wasn’t just in the metal, but in the mindset.

Quick Time to Value: How to Accelerate ROI in EAM Implementation

Enterprise asset management (EAM) implementation is sometimes misperceived as a complex, resource-intensive endeavor. But that perception is rooted in legacy approaches and outdated systems.

Optimize Operations in 7 Steps: The Strategic Art of Maintenance Planning and Scheduling

Effective maintenance planning and scheduling are essential to prevent unplanned asset failures from dictating your schedules and driving your budgets. In a reactive, unplanned environment, maintenance efforts falter—funds meant for proactive upkeep are instead wasted on waiting for parts, delayed equipment transfers, and emergency fixes that disrupt planned work

Case Study: How Waites Cemented $1 Million in Savings by Eliminating Unplanned Downtime for Buzzi Unicem USA

Minimizing downtime in the cement manufacturing industry is crucial, as each minute of operational delay can lead to significant financial repercussions.

Laying the Groundwork: The Role of Naming Conventions in Spare Parts Management Success

This article outlines best practices for overcoming these hurdles and highlights the foundational elements of a successful spare parts management approach.

Industry 5.0 Is Empowering Today’s Factory Workers and It’s a Long Overdue Revolution

The impacts of Industry 4.0 and its younger sibling, Industry 5.0, fall right down to today’s factory workers. While embedded automation and optimization within the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 have the power to drive new efficiencies, they have also led to the introduction of more complex job roles and tasks, but for fewer frontline workers.

From Data to Action: The Complex Path of Advanced Analytics and Reliability in Industry

In today's industrial landscape, the buzz around advanced analytics is hard to ignore. Companies are increasingly looking to harness the power of data to drive efficiency, reduce downtime, and gain a competitive edge. However, the journey from collecting data to taking actionable steps based on that data is far from straightforward.

Engaging and Retaining the Asset Management Workforce

Employee engagement and retention are critical for the success of asset management organizations. High turnover rates and labor shortages pose significant challenges, impacting operational efficiency, safety and overall workforce morale.

Do or Do Not

Data analysis is critical to understanding problems and decision-making. Analysis that is not followed up by an action is likely a wasted opportunity, but not always.
