Overview of APM Mechanical Integrity Solution
GE Digital Predix's Asset Performance Management (APM) offers a comprehensive solution for Mechanical Integrity, ensuring organizations can maintain the safety and compliance of their static equipment. With APM Mechanical Integrity, users can prioritize equipment based on risk assessment methodologies like RBI 580 and 581, automate inspection planning to detect compliance gaps, store thickness readings for corrosion analysis, establish IOW monitoring policies, and integrate mechanical integrity initiatives across the enterprise.
Key Outcomes of APM Mechanical Integrity
The implementation of APM Mechanical Integrity from GE Digital Predix results in various benefits for facilities. These include a reduction in overall risk exposure of static assets, improved safety by streamlining data collection and enhancing inspection accuracy, proactive evaluation of damage mechanisms to prevent equipment failures, cost reduction through risk-based inspection maintenance, increased worker productivity through mobile inspections, quicker reaction to process changes for better asset availability, and optimized repairs and replacements using thickness monitoring and corrosion analysis tools.
Key Features of APM Mechanical Integrity Solution
The APM Mechanical Integrity solution offers essential features such as Risk Based Inspection (RBI) for optimizing inspection rigor, Inspection Management to plan and track inspections across asset classes, Thickness Monitoring for safe operation calculations and corrosion analysis, and Compliance Management to track inspection compliance as per regulatory standards. This comprehensive set of tools ensures effective mechanical integrity management for static equipment.
Enhanced Mobility and Visualization Tools
To further enhance the effectiveness of APM Mechanical Integrity, GE Digital Predix provides tools like Integrity Mobile for optimized field data collection, 2D and 3D Visualizations to contextualize inspection data, and Integrity Operating Windows (IOWs) for efficient tracking of process excursions. These tools empower users to streamline their mechanical integrity programs, improve efficiency, and make informed decisions for asset maintenance and safety.
