Asset-intensive organisations face many challenges, including the need to create a responsible methodology and delivery model for risk-managed performance that reinforces organisational objectives. To break through this long journey, organizations now have many alternatives, such as BIM technology, which supports an organization's Asset Management System throughout its entire life cycle. The BIM methodology allows the [...]
Enterprise asset management (EAM) systems are the evolution of computer-aided maintenance systems (CMMS/CAM). CMMS focus on asset maintenance and therefore on the management and improvement of maintenance processes. In this sense, we can say that a CMMS is a system based on processes, from which it is also possible to obtain useful information for asset [...]
The BIM methodology has made a quantum leap in standardizing asset construction. Although the concept has existed since the 1970s, it did not become popular until 2002 when Autodesk, the company that created Autocad, acquired the software company Charles River Software, which a couple of years earlier had developed a program called Revit, which was [...]
The digital transformation allows companies to design asset maintenance processes in a much more efficient way. As the digital transformation advances within companies, all areas of operations are affected, including maintenance management. To remain competitive, asset managers need to know how these transformations will affect and potentially improve how companies manage their assets. The digitisation [...]
Strategic Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) aims to maximise the value and performance of assets at every stage of the life cycle, from incorporation to decommissioning. Historically, EAM systems emerged as the natural evolution of maintenance management software systems (CMMS). CMMS systems focus on maintenance and the processes that take place in this area, and this [...]
The role of technology comes into play as organisations recognise the need to understand the efficient operation and condition of their assets as a starting point for planning of investment, renewal or diversification priorities. The use of digital technologies in enterprise asset management enables the capture of critical information relating to the operation and condition [...]
The integration of BIM systems into CMMS asset maintenance tools makes it possible to have accurate, up-to-date information on the company's assets in real time, increasing business knowledge to facilitate maintenance and technical management, but also to make well-informed strategic decisions. This integration makes it possible to significantly reduce the time it takes to put [...]
Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) is the treatment of the entire life cycle of an organisation's physical assets in order to maximise their value, covering all processes from incorporation (design and acquisition) to disposal. This approach, although broader than maintenance management, still has a large reactive component. Incorporating a strategic vision into asset management allows managers, [...]
Digital transformation projects have often been and still are, seen as purely a technology initiative driven by the IT department. However, digital transformation is truly synonymous with the business transformation that drives growth and operational efficiency. New challenges for a digital world Organisations must update and implement new technologies, tools and platforms that are increasingly [...]
On the occasion of the Climate Summit (COP25) in Madrid in December 2019, we asked ourselves what impact the operation of productive assets has on the climate and how intelligent business asset management can also help improve the sustainability of businesses and combat climate change. Climate change affects us all The effects of climate change [...]
