The Asset Partnership is the Australasian Distributor for Ivara’s EXP Enterprise software.
Ivara EXP Enterprise is the world’s leading asset performance management software solution. With EXP Enterprise, companies in capital intensive industries improve business performance by preventing industrial equipment failure, increasing production, and lowering costs.
Ivara's flagship software solution, EXP Enterprise provides a cohesive and integrated approach to developing, implementing and managing a living equipment reliability program. It is the complete end-to-end solution for operational excellence.
Strategy Development - Create a Roadmap to Reliability
The challenge in developing an asset performance improvement strategy is –where do you start? Ivara EXP Enterprise Strategy Development launches your Asset Reliability Strategy, providing a risk sensitive approach to prioritise and objectively determine the right asset methodology. It includes:
- Asset Prioritisation —Systematically rank your assets by failure consequence and relative risk
- Strategy Selection —Objectively determine the right strategy for your assets
- RCM2 —Leverage the leading RCM standard where it counts the most
- MTA —Apply Ivara's accelerated FMEA methodology, Maintenance Tasks Analysis to define required tasks for less critical assets —and achieve full plant coverage at a faster rate than using RCM2 plant-wide.
Reliability Program Implementation —Rapid & Sustainable
How do you fully realise the value of your RCM investment? The result for many organisations that conduct RCM/FMEA analyses are binders containing recommendations sitting on a shelf.
With Ivara EXP Enterprise, your RCM2 and MTA analyses are quickly implemented and deployed with immediate returns:
- Create a Complete Reliability Program —From any RCM or MTA analysis, quickly and easily create an operating reliability program with defined health indicator alarm points and planned responses
- With EXP's templating capabilities, streamlined screens, outstanding search and select capabilities and helpful wizards, you can rapidly deploy the programs and share information across multiple sites. The program is linked back to the analysis and its failure modes, providing a built-in cross-reference that enables everyone to see what the original rationale for any task was.
- Manage inspection routes including operator rounds, PdM inspections, advanced condition monitoring of online and batch condition data, time-based PMs, and corrective work.
- Ivara EXP Mobile —Windows CE-based check-sheets for handheld data collection of operator rounds and maintenance inspection data
- Ivara EXP Remote —Windows Tablet-based field check-sheets and work order capabilities for field service
- Ivara ODC (Online Data Collection) —Protocols for OPC-DA, OPC-HDA, ODBC, OSIsoft PI, and custom plug ins
Performance Management —Consolidate & Monitor Equipment Health in Real-Time
Is your asset condition data located in separate systems? Is it a challenge to create a cohesive and consolidated view of asset health that brings together all data points? Many organisations struggle to get a complete picture of asset performance with data residing in a variety of sources such as inspection rounds, online sources and predictive data. The effort required to collate and correlate thousands of data points, identify trends and suggest the appropriate action is extremely labour intensive and would almost certainly result in missed early warning signs resulting in failures.
The Ivara EXP Enterprise Performance Management feature consolidates all asset data from visual inspections, predictive maintenance technologies, controls, sensors, and data historians and centralises it in an Equipment Health Dashboard. With its powerful analysis capabilities, the Performance Management feature identifies potential failures with automated alarms and recommends corrective actions by initiating a work order in real time in your EAM system, enabling you to proactively manage asset health. Features include:
- Shared view of current asset health (operations, maintenance)– online in real-time
- Consolidate and analyse data from multiple sources
- Alarming to manage by exception or priority
- Automated alarm evaluation against pre-set models based on RCM principles
- Application of simple or complex management rules and calculations for triggering action
- Leading and lagging KPI dashboard
Work Execution —Make Informed Decisions to do the Right Work at the Right Time
Too much too soon or too little too late —in a reactive environment, the focus of maintenance work is repairing failed equipment not necessarily addressing the root cause of the original failure. With EXP Enterprise’s Work Management feature, you are empowered to execute the right maintenance work at the right time based on the equipment's reliability program housed in the EXP Enterprise software. Informed decisions are made based on the data and analysis built into the EXP Enterprise Performance Management feature. Now work orders are triggered in your EAM system without delay.
EXP provides out of the box interfaces to major commercial EAM systems such as SAP PM and Maximo. Robust interface capabilities include Work Order synchronisation, Work Order status return, Asset hierarchy synchronisation, standard jobs and task synchronisation. Ivara’s interface products are built using robust, open and current technology. Microsoft COM APIs and XML-based interfaces are available for all Ivara application objects.
Rather than reacting to equipment failures, EXP Enterprise allows you to put your Asset Reliability Program in action and execute the right maintenance work at the right time with EXP Enterprise Work Execution features including:
- Flexible alarm acknowledgement workflow options
- Health and work history integrated and accessible
- Alarms enabling informed response, informed decisions
- Automated interface to standard EAM systems including SAP and IBM Maximo
- Robust open architecture, easy to integrate
- Customisable and extensible interface
- Work order triggering and status update
- Asset and Maintenance plan synchronization
