Base modules and features - HxGN EAM - 12.2 - Administration & Configuration - Hexagon

Administration

The administration module provides system administration functions, such as security, system-wide defaults, and the content of functions and forms. The administration module is the prerequisite to all other modules.

Alert management

Alert management is a function within EAM that can search the database for specific data and then send email or create work orders based on the analysis of that data. Alerts run at a predefined frequency, so they are ideal for anything that does not need immediate action.

Asset management

The asset management module identifies tracks, locates, and analyzes physical assets. You can define assets as pieces of equipment, and then associate documents, permits, and other information with the equipment. Track asset depreciation to maintain and monitor asset depreciation data for assets, systems, and positions. EAM allows unlimited complexity in asset structure to provide unmatched flexibility for efficient asset management.

Asset management services

The asset management services feature is designed for maintenance organizations that operate as a business unit, i.e., your organization charges customers for maintenance work that you perform for them. Define time, material, and labor costs in specific pricing schedules with asset management services. Then, apply pricing schedules to customer contracts to calculate work order costs and generate invoice vouchers and reports.

Asset sustainability

EAM allows you to baseline, monitor, and compare the energy performance of your assets, calculating the energy intensity consumed by your assets. Support for green building standards like Energy Star, ASHRAE 90.1, and LEED. Full compliance with the Energy Performance standard ISO 14001. Monitor energy performance on all forms of energy: WAGES (water, air, gas, electricity, and steam). Calculate CO2 emissions in accordance with the WRI GHG and ASHRE. Establish and monitor your corporate energy strategy, goals, and objectives in accordance with ISO 15001.

Budget management

The budget management module automates budget setup, and the subsequent capture, monitoring, control, and analysis of expenditures associated with maintenance work. Use the budget management module to link the financial structure of the enterprise, its organizational structure, and the physical asset hierarchies.

Calibration management

The calibration management module tracks calibration data for equipment categories, assets, systems, and positions. Define test point data and associate test point sets with work orders and preventative maintenance (PM) work orders. Create PM work orders to generate regularly scheduled jobs for equipment requiring calibration. Create regular calibration work orders as necessary. EAM assigns statuses to calibration work orders based on the test point measurement results. A calibration does not pass until all test points on the work order pass.

Case Management

Collect data on events that occurred. Be it an accident, a spill, an emission event, a production stop, an incident during a shift that affects the next shift, etc. Even if the event is equipment related, it may not require a work order, or if the need for a work order is not clear, you can create a case on the Case Management screen.

Electronic records and signatures

EAM allows you to create electronic records, or “snapshots,” of events that occur in the database as well as require a signature for the event. A snapshot preserves the entire record, including all related information from other database tables, to provide historical information related to the progress of your operation. EAM also provides the ability to print and export snapshots to external formats such as Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (.PDF).

Through PM version control and audit capability, you can track insertions, updates, or deletions of every attribute for every EAM table as well as all comments per entity. You can view all audited records and then purge audited information when that information is no longer needed. You can also print a list of audited records as well as a list of records that have been changed through the back end.

Fleet

The fleet module includes Vehicle Maintenance Reporting System (VMRS) codes and additional custom fields that are tailored to fleet management. Focusing on the transportation industry’s greatest opportunities for productivity and cost-per-mile savings, the fleet module enables transportation companies to process warranty claims, manage tires and fuel, and improve vehicle performance through preventive maintenance efficiently. EAM fully supports the American Trucking Association’s Vehicle Maintenance Reporting System (VMRS). With optional VMRS, all Code Key values are included in the EAM database. These values can be easily associated with work orders, preventive maintenance schedules, vehicle records, and repair records. Fluid (fuel and lubricants) management allows you to define different type of fluids and fluid details, issue and receive fluid, define, and perform physical inventories of storage tanks.

Inspection management

The inspection management module facilitates condition-based maintenance by defining inspection points belonging to one or more assets. Execute inspection work orders ad hoc or triggered by time frequency and/or meters (calendar- or meter-based inspection). Or you can generate inspection work orders based on previous inspection results (condition-based inspections).

Integration

EAM on-premise and SaaS environment system architecture provides the framework and integration utilities through which customers can seamlessly exchange, update, and share information between EAM and external software systems.

Materials management

The materials management module streamlines parts and materials management by constantly monitoring inventory. After setting up the materials management module, use the work management module to allocate materials to work orders and automatically generate pick lists for materials.

Procurement management

The procurement management module allows you to control purchase order and invoice-matching processes for stocked materials, direct materials, hired labor, and services. You can also calculate the cost of services using either fixed prices or time and materials.

Project management

The project management module groups work orders and execute them as a coherent whole with specific resource, cost, and time objectives. The project management module allows large projects to be divided into manageable subprojects and then assigns individual work order activities to each step.

Reliability, planning, and analysis

With reliability, planning and analysis (RPA) you can create reliability rankings. Each reliability ranking has an associated reliability decision tree. The lowest level in the tree is the so-called question level. Each question can be associated with a set of user defined answers. Answers are associated to a numerical value, used as input on user defined formulas that are associated to different levels of the reliability decision tree. Formulas yield a numerical value which rolls up into formulas on a higher level in the reliability decision tree. These results determine the reliability ranking score. Ranges of reliability ranking scores can be associated to a reliability ranking index.

Safety management

Maintenance organizations are continuously confronted with health, safety, and environmental regulations. Safety Management within EAM allows organizations to identify hazardous situations, materials and activities and deliver a method to control these hazards to protect people and the environment.

Work management

The work management module controls work order processes for routine, response, corrective and periodic preventive maintenance. The work management module also stores material and task lists in a library for easy reference and retrieval.
