Why this area

Asset 360

Keep operating assets available, maintained, inspected and supportable from one asset record.

  • Asset 360

    Everything known about an asset, from inspection findings to barrier status, in one view.

  • Reliability with numbers

    RBD, FMECA, fault trees and Weibull analysis inform availability and maintenance decisions.

  • Supportability decided early

    Obsolescence risk and lifetime-buy decisions are recorded against where an item is used.

How the work moves

5 stages, each owned by an application.

Every stage is a working part of a Zemerc application today, and each application runs on its own. An operating area is how they are bought, not a bundle they have to be bought in.

Inside the application

AIRMS: Asset Integrity & Reliability Management System

Integrity, inspection, corrosion and barrier records with an Asset 360 view.

AIRMS barrier assurance: performance standards with their governing standard and assurance frequency, the assurance activities carried out against each barrier with their conformance and verification state, and the degradations and impairments recorded against barriers with their restoration position

No barrier health or criticality is computed. Performance criteria are the organisation’s own, and assurance outcomes are recorded engineering judgements.

  • A blank field means unknown
    An unrecorded value is never treated as zero, and the application says what would have to be recorded for a figure to appear.
  • Immutable where it matters
    Thickness readings and approved assessment revisions cannot be edited after the fact; a correction is a new revision with its own provenance.
  • Verification is a second pair of hands
    A work order is completed by one person and closed by another, enforced as policy rather than left to convention.
How the record moves

Integrity decides. Maintenance executes.

Asset integrity, maintenance execution, quantitative reliability and obsolescence answer different questions about the same equipment. Their value depends on a consistent governed asset identity across those disciplines.

  1. Integrity
    Maintenance

    A defect with an evidence-gated closure becomes work with an owner and a date

  2. Maintenance
    Reliability

    Failure events and recorded exposure feed the quantitative analysis

  3. Reliability
    Obsolescence

    A spare strategy meets the question of whether the part will still exist

Workshop · the failure examined

Bring one asset and its last inspection.

A failure event coded to a standard taxonomy is worth something to the next engineer. One described in free text is worth almost nothing.

  • Integrity record; AIRMS keeps integrity, inspection, corrosion, RBI and FFS records with barriers.
  • Quantitative reliability; RAMS models reliability, availability and maintainability with recognised methods.
  • Maintenance execution; EAMS runs work orders, preventive maintenance, inventory and calibration.
From judgement to work

Lifecycle state and operational state are two different things.

Operating state and maintenance priority are separate controls. An asset may remain in service while replacement is planned, or remain available while on standby. Keeping those states distinct allows work to be prioritised by operational consequence rather than by arrival order.

  • Criticality recorded as an engineering judgement, then used rather than recalculated
  • Attention expressed as overdue work, overdue inspection or outstanding analysis
  • Completed and closed held apart, with independent verification between them
Plant · preventive work

Where this area is actually worked.

Usage-based maintenance becomes due because the equipment has operated, not merely because time has elapsed. That requires governed meter readings rather than estimated utilisation.

  • Obsolescence cases; OMS records supportability risk and lifetime-buy decisions with where-used impact.
Questions we are asked

Before the first working session.

  • Which applications belong here?

    AIRMS, RAMS, EAMS and OMS.

  • How do the four fit together?

    AIRMS holds integrity and inspection, RAMS the reliability analysis, EAMS the maintenance and work, OMS the obsolescence risk; each keeps its own governed record and none depends on another.

  • Which should come first?

    AIRMS where inspection and integrity records are the pain; EAMS where maintenance execution is.

  • Integrity record

    AIRMS keeps integrity, inspection, corrosion, RBI and FFS records with barriers.

  • Quantitative reliability

    RAMS models reliability, availability and maintainability with recognised methods.

  • Maintenance execution

    EAMS runs work orders, preventive maintenance, inventory and calibration.

  • Obsolescence cases

    OMS records supportability risk and lifetime-buy decisions with where-used impact.
