InnoCielo Asset Management Module

The InnoCielo Asset Management Module is a new add-on module to our flagship ECM solution InnoCielo Meridian Enterprise. This module ensures the performance of mission-critical assets and avoids costly operational disruptions by integrating engineering content managed by InnoCielo Meridian Enterprise to enterprise assets managed by widely-used Enterprise Asset Management, Maintenance Management and Facility Management solutions, such as MRO Maximo, SAP Plant Maintenance, FAMIS, Datastream, Ultimo and others.

Over the years, companies have implemented asset management solutions to get a grip on the routine maintenance of production assets. However, asset management cannot reach its full potential without proper management of asset-related technical documentation. The management of technical asset information is vital to the entire enterprise and is of critical importance in order to stay competitive and resume production as quickly as possible in case of unplanned downtime.

The InnoCielo Asset Management Module has been designed to enhance, automate and streamline asset operations throughout the asset lifecycle and avoid costly operational disruptions, thus improving your bottom line.

InnoCielo Asset Management Module 2008 Now Available

InnoCielo Asset Management Module 2008 is now available in English and German, and compatible with InnoCielo Meridian Enterprise 2008 as well as 2006 and 2007. It also features upgraded version support for Maximo, for version 6.x, as well as versions 4.x and 5.x.

Connecting Engineering & Maintenance

The InnoCielo Asset Management Module integrates Engineering Content Management with Enterprise Asset Management, thus bridging the gap between Maintenance and Engineering. Standard integrations are now available with a number of maintenance management systems including MRO Maximo and SAP Plant Maintenance. From the maintenance management system, users have direct access to the related technical documentation, for example, when viewing a work order, equipment or job plan.

The InnoCielo Asset Management Module manages the asset-document relationship in InnoCielo Meridian Enterprise and offers powerful functionality to find the latest versions of documents by asset number as well as the assets related to particular technical documents. This dramatically improves efficiency not only during engineering changes, but also during emergency maintenance and routine inspections.

The project engineering department can link assets to technical documentation and vice versa. For example, a process and instrumentation diagram needs to be linked to multiple corresponding assets. On the other hand assets like a pump or vessel need to be linked to multiple technical documents. When reviewing an asset, all the related and up-to-date documentation is made available by the InnoCielo Asset Management Module.

Easy Access

The InnoCielo Asset Management Module includes the InnoCielo Shop Floor Client, which provides maintenance staff access to assets and related technical documentation, requiring no more than a PC with an internet browser.

Benefits

• Intuitively find technical documents using an asset identifier as a search key
• Identify which set of documents is subject to change due to a plant change
• Improved quality (completeness and reliability) of technical asset information and as-built data
• Better compliance with quality, environmental and legal regulations
• Seamless handover of engineering data
• Reduced costs of production, maintenance and engineering
• Increased production through shorter unplanned process downtime and stop preparation

“We believe the InnoCielo Asset Management Module will bridge the gap between Maintenance and Engineering and that the immediate access to relevant technical information will help us to decrease unplanned process downtime, thereby increasing our productivity. I believe this module, along with InnoCielo Meridian Enterprise, will aid in Gerdau Ameristeel’s continued growth and success in the years to come.”
