Description |
|
Asset investment planning |
Asset investment planning (AIP) feature in EAM takes budget information for future planning periods, investment options for equipment and capital planning requests, and then calculates an optimized investment plan for these future periods. This allows you to quickly identify multi-year investment plans for future asset management needs. |
|
Barcoding |
HxGN EAM Barcoding allows you to design and print labels for assets, providing increased mobility and system functionality. Labeling assets streamlines the tracking and relocating of assets, warranty activation and updating, work registration, and other functions. Companies can also assign a barcode to employees to enable them to log their actions quickly, label standard jobs to provide quick access to job activities, or label spare-parts bins for more accurate and efficient storeroom management. |
|
Geographic Information System (GIS) Interface |
GIS is a Web-based solution that leverages the ESRI GIS server, the leading Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping software. With the intuitive, flexible interface of EAM combined with seamless GIS integration, organizations can pinpoint assets and access critical information prior to servicing, streamline workflow on widely dispersed equipment, and create a consolidated, easy-to-access view of asset location and history, resulting in increased workforce efficiency and lower costs. Plus, you can manage assets in EAM directly through the GIS interface. |
|
HxGN EAM Mobile |
EAM Mobile is a robust, mobile version of EAM that functions with or without network connectivity. This enables workers to roam between connected and disconnected environments without having to worry about losing application performance. It also means they can access, capture, and manage information directly from the job site, resulting in higher productivity and more effective decision-making. |
|
OpenCAD |
OpenCAD is a fully integrated module with EAM that uses the most popular CAD standards without requiring the installation of applications, allows you to read graphically, analyze, interact with, and navigate the drawings and plans, creating a GUI for asset and part management activities and spaces, while remaining within the EAM application OpenCAD can provide reliable and clear data on occupation and availability of spaces in order to accurately calculate costs, including costs related to assets located inside the spaces. |
|
OpenCAD BIM |
OpenCAD BIM is an extension of HxGN EAM OpenCAD. It embraces Building Information Modeling (BIM) and supports IFC, the leading interoperability standard. OpenCAD BIM provides users with a 3D visualization of the asset infrastructure within HxGN EAM. The product’s two-way integration enables EAM to consume BIM data and BIM to consume EAM data, with the ability to associate and create corresponding EAM entities. This immersive 3D interface captures the structure of the asset bringing focus to the elements, as well as the physical and functional relationships between them. This interface makes the elements inside the facility, such as wires and electrical panels, visible and accessible; allowing for more effective decision-making for inspection and risk planning purposes. |

Constraint Optimizer |
Constraint Optimizer is a constraint-based scheduling tool allocating field work activities for dispatch. The Optimized Scheduler determines the best schedule solution based on resource and activity constraints such as qualifications, priority, and travel distance. This scheduling capability helps back-office management meet the challenges of dispatch planning, while ensuring field work spends more time on priority activities rather than driving between locations. When a schedule request is initiated, the optimizer uses data to match the best resources to activities and arranges the assignments in sequential order that is most effective, given the day’s constraints. To determine assignments, the scheduler matches resources to activities based on required qualifications and number of people. The system optimizes and arranges the resource-activity matches is based on activity priority, travel distance, and shift availability. The scheduler looks at various combinations of these assignments and arrangements to determine the best schedule solution. The best schedule is returned to the requestor, providing a sequentially ordered list of activity assignments for each resource. |
|
Python Framework |
HxGN EAM Python Framework further expands the extensibility of EAM beyond the current Flex SQL, Alert Management, Extensibility Framework, and other existing configuration tool offerings, while offering the potential to offload process-extensive programs from the EAM infrastructure. |
|
Requestor |
Requestor allows you to easily increase the number of users submitting work requests and purchase requests without significantly increasing your financial investment. With Requestor, you can authorize employees to enter and approve work requests and enter and view the status of purchase requests over the Web. Requestor effectively extends basic EAM functionality from room-to-room or site-to-site and lowers the total cost of ownership. Additionally, Requestor includes e-mail notification following a change in work or purchase order status, keeping employees up-to-date and in control of essential work. |
