Asset optimization: giving you the edge

In asset intensive industries, maintenance costs are typically 20 to 50 percent of the total operating costs, which is why capacity utilization and operating efficiency are fast becoming the main drivers of profitability.

Predictability – the key to resource utilization Optimal resource utilization depends on predictability. You can only optimize personnel performance by reducing the number of unpredicted events in the production plant. In terms of material management, increased predictability leads to less expensive spares and components in stock. Predictability is also the key to optimizing Overall Equip-ment Efficiency (OEE).

From automation to optimizationIn the past, EAM systems have mainly been used for business process automation. But increased pressure on asset utilization, improved utilization of maintenance personnel and decreased capital expenditure for spare

parts are changing the objectives of the EAM system. Its role now is to secure a continuous improvement in asset performance while keeping costs at a minimum.

Fast information flowTo get the maximum benefit from an asset management system, it must be easy to use. The system must secure accurate and fast information flow from the moment a problem occurs until the problem is resolved.

Clever use of data increases bottom line resultsYour EAM system collects valuable data every day. To en-hance your competitiveness, you must be able to utilize reliability data in a way that supports continuous improve-ment of your most important key performance indicators (KPIs). Your systems must support RCM (Reliability Cen-tered Maintenance), TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) and other intelligent ways of maximizing the values created by production assets.

API PRO – the way to proactive maintenanceAPI PRO has been developed over more than 20 years with dedicated staff determined to meet the needs of our customers. We endeavor to provide simple and effective support of your daily operations, and facilitate a more intelligent use of data. You must be in charge of your assets, not held back by your maintenance system. With API PRO you are in the driver’s seat. It is API PRO that works for you – not the other way round. API PRO supports your need for KPIs – helping you drill down to the reasons behind the reliability problems in your plant. A truly com-prehensive tool, API PRO ensures you stay in control.

Flexible standard solutionThe most flexible EAM system on the market, API PRO offers a fully scalable, modular solution that can grow along with your organization. API PRO can be customized to fit your specific needs by pure system configuration – keeping updating with the latest software releases straightforward and problem-free.

API PRO on the moveUsing portable industrial PDA equipment is becoming increasingly essential. The API PRO Mobile solution is based on the most recent .NET, XML and Web Services technology, allowing you to work both on-line and off-line. API PRO Mobile is one of the most potent weapons in the API armoury, allowing engineers complete freedom of movement and speeding up your repairs and maintenance. API PRO also offers rigid mobile solutions for warehouse management. API PRO Mobile saves you time and protects from typing errors.

The intelligent maintenance systemAPI PRO is an intuitive software program that can alert you to under-performing equipment and give you the reasons for production outages. The Analysis and Per-

formance Module gives you instant access to information about the performance of your plant – and your organi-zation. Multiple reporting functions let you extract these data in the format you prefer so you can make business-critical decisions quicker. The Analysis and Performance Module also helps you spot trends, and can be configured according to your specific key performance indicators.

Compatible with other systemsAPI PRO can mesh perfectly with your company’s exist-ing IT systems, including condition monitoring systems, or control systems supporting the OPC standard. By using API PRO standard interfaces you can implement true condition-based maintenance – or event driven main-tenance that allows you to further optimize the utilization of your production equipment.

The API PRO Interfacing Module even allows your ERP to benefit from API PRO in the most appropriate way. It provides you with tools to build just the kind of interface you need. The API PRO SAP interface is based on SAP standard Business Application Programmers Interface (BAPI). This method secures trouble-free interfacing also after updating either your SAP or your API PRO system.

Designed to be multinational API PRO is designed to support multiple languages. Currently available in 15 languages – more are constantly being added.API PRO can be deployed cross-country, each country having its own local language on the screens, and its own screen-design. You may allow different plants to share some data, while other data are local. With the API PRO multi-site concept you may for example have full rights to you own data and view rights to data in other plants.

The world-leading pharmaceutical group H. Lundbeck A/S has used API PRO to manage its maintenance activities for over 20 years. Serving the American market, Lundbeck has to comply with strict Food and Drug Administration (FDA) demands regarding process traceability. It relies on API Maintenance Systems for the solution.

From paper to pixelsThe FDA requires companies to keep detailed records of any changes made to their production process and maintenance procedures. The traditional answer to the FDA 21 CFR Part 11 challenge is to store enormous amounts of binders with paper documentation. Lundbeck quickly realized it needed an electronic alternative.

Advanced traceability functionsFrom working closely with many clients in the pharmaceutical indus-try, API Maintenance Systems was aware of the compliance pres-sures Lundbeck was facing. In response to these industry-specifi c client needs, API Maintenance Systems had been working hard on

a Change Logging module with advanced traceability functions. Already being a large-scale API PRO user, Lundbeck jumped at the opportunity to implement API Maintenance Systems’ unique change logging technology at all of its plants. Today, all procedures are supported by the system, resulting in straightforward, effi cient documentation.

Simplicity and sophistication combinedAPI PRO’s Change Logging module can register changes made throughout the entire work process – from initial work order infor-mation to technical job data and technical data types. For Lundbeck, it helps employees effi ciently log an audit trail, and retrieve and view the entire process history at any time. The system elegantly organ-izes complex information that would be practically impossible to retain any other way.

Facing the future with confi denceChange Logging also ensures that all maintenance information is instantly viewable and can provide a historical snapshot of what

ALSTOM is a global leader in the design, manufacturing, installation and servicing of power generation equipment. Its 60,000 employees, working in more than 70 countries around the globe, operate equip-ment that produces one fi fth of the world’s energy. For the past 15 years, API Maintenance Systems’ advanced solutions have been instrumental to ALSTOM’s success.

Effi ciency is everythingThe power industry is performance-driven and effi ciency and reliabi-lity are essential. For ALSTOM, it is vital that preventive maintenance is systematically planned and runs with clockwork precision. For optimal operation, ALSTOM’s asset information has to be managed in detail, both to support material management, and as the basis for forward planning during major overhauls. API PRO has played a key role in helping ALSTOM protect valuable plant facilities and equip-ment, extend plant lifetimes and reduce unscheduled downtime.

Worldwide optimizationALSTOM staff can monitor plants all over the world from one central location. And API PRO’s analysis module makes it possible to com-

each process looked like at any point in its evolution, regardless of how many changes have been made. Lundbeck employees can access snapshots of the system and see changes that were made, by whom and why. Lundbeck system controller Brian Andersen says, “This new module has already served us well and we are confident it will continue to be extremely useful in the future.”

pare pre-defined key performance indicators (KPI) for all plants. In this way, observations made at any plant in the world can be used to optimize all other plants maintained by ALSTOM.

Information at your fingertipsThe API PRO system’s innovative data import functions make it simple for ALSTOM users to load power plant data – from plant design, equipment and requisite spare parts to suppliers, alterna-tive suppliers and predefined work orders for equipment. Everybody from operators through to management can see day-to-day and future maintenance jobs, while the system automatically orders spare parts when predefined minimum stock levels are detected.

With intuitive user interface and a logical design, the system ensures a minimum distance between the users and the information they need. This fast access to information means increased opera-tion time for the power plant.

Future-oriented and dependableIn an industry demanding enhanced performance, API PRO’s fresh

approach to technology gives ALSTOM the advantage it needs to ‘keep the power on’.

Select the right functionality for your system

Proven state-of-the-art technology

Easy integration, fast implementationExtensive data import tools make the initial implementa-tion of API PRO easy and cost-effective.
