Asset Performance Management

powered by ITUS

 

APM optimizes the performance and reliability of assets critical to mining operations, increasing uptime, decreasing costs, and reducing risks. Our APM capabilities deliver a practical, fit-for-purpose solution, enabling our customers to realize rapid time to value and maximize return on capital..

APM optimizes the reliability and performance of assets critical to mining operations. We help asset-centric mining facilities increase uptime, decrease costs, and reduce operational risks.

Quick Statistic:

77%

of mining executives identify cost and Asset Performance Management as a top strategic concern.

Wabtec’s Asset Performance Management Solution is a software and services suite designed to optimize mining-asset performance. APM connects disparate data sources and uses advanced analytics to turn data into actionable insights while fostering collaboration and knowledge management across your Mining Fleet. APM works across all equipment, all OEMs, and many applications across mining operations. APM provides mining organizations the flexibility to develop new analytics and applications, enabling them meet changing needs.

The APM Process

How it Works

Discovery & Value Assessment

Systematic study and qualification of business processes and assets to identify how APM fits in the business process and provides value:

  • Evaluate existing IT, maintenance systems and instrumentation infrastructure and use engineering analysis to determine operational maturity
  • Understand the elements of current and planned business processes and tools to identify how APM will augment and improve the business
  • Calculate an expected annual value for applying APM operations, using value-based criteria

Assess Asset
Risks

Quantify asset risk and critical failure modes.

  • Establish asset objective and operating context
  • Determine asset risk profile
  • Define dominant failure modes
  • Determine failure mode risk profiles
Strategy to Protect
Assets

Implement failure risk protection through analytics and digital asset twins.

  • Establish critical indicators and analytics. These features measure asset health and failure risk exposure.
  • Define conditional thresholds, excursions, and advisories. Together, they trigger proactive remediation and help decrease the number of asset failures.
  • Leverage the Asset Twin Library to accelerate implementation while preserving for your operating context.
  • Tune models and adjust for operating context with historical simulation capabilities.
Monitor the
Twins

Proactively monitor asset health and threats.

  • Analyze current and historical asset health through easy-to-read indicators.
  • Simulate and reset indicator and excursion thresholds to optimize protection.
  • Automatically log excursion events that exceed thresholds for “hands-off” monitoring.
  • Proactively initiate failure mitigation activities. Triggered by analytics on thresholds and cumulative excursion event criteria, this feature helps reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
Act on
Threats

Govern all mitigation activities to closure.

  • Visibility to all advisories for the remediation of emerging threats.
  • Collaborate on advisories and activities with teams remotely and across shifts.
  • Get direct line-of-sight to potential risks and collective remediation evidence with real-time advisories and asset health monitoring.
  • Leverage advisory history for continual learning and optimizing your asset strategy. You benefit from a refined asset maintenance plan and an increase in asset reliability.

Embedded Asset Twins

Predefined asset strategy and digital twin models for rapid deployment:

  • The Asset Twin Library covers more than 200 of the most common equipment classes, so you avoid having to start from “scratch.”
  • Defined failure modes, preventative maintenance activities, analytics, and prescriptive actions boost your overall asset performance effectiveness.
  • Models that are easy to apply, reuse, and reference when modeling Asset twins. Now you can build an asset twin in less than 10 minutes.
  • Extendable to support corporate standards, operating context, and OEM recommendations. Scale your APM program as you grow without draining resources or losing time.
