Insights Hub Asset Health & Maintenance¶
System Manual
¶
Insights Hub Asset Health & Maintenance is a cloud-based solution that utilizes the Insights Hub Industrial IoT platform to enable advanced monitoring and maintenance of industrial assets. It supports asset-intensive industries in transitioning from reactive or time-based maintenance approaches to predictive and prescriptive maintenance.
This application helps the maintenance, shopfloor and reliability teams to take quicker and confident decisions. The major benefits of implementing Insights Hub Asset Health & Maintenance in the organization are:
- Higher equipment availability - It refers to lost output or downtime resulting from asset failures or unexpected maintenance events.
- Fewer equipment damages - It refers to financial loss from assets reaching end-of-life sooner than expected, typically due to poor maintenance strategies that accelerate wear or ignore condition-based indicators.
- Lower emergency repair costs - It refers to the expenses incurred from urgent, unplanned repairs, often more costly due to time constraints or the need for rapid parts and labor.
-
Less over-maintenance costs - It refers to expenses arising from performing excessive or unnecessary maintenance activities that do not provide proportional value, such as frequent scheduling or replacement of perfectly functional parts.
Insights Hub Asset Health & Maintenance is the core application of a connected maintenance framework. It enables an effective workflow for reactive, preventive and predictive maintenance.
- Input from apps such as Senseye, Insights Hub Monitor, Insights Hub Edge Analytics, Sidrive IQ, Sitrans SCM IQ can be used.
-
Currently Supported: SAP, IBM Maximo and other Systems who support REST API http request. For more information, refer to Managing CMMS Integration.
The solution consists of five building blocks that are integrated with each other and leverage the Insights Hub capabilities, and will help you to:
- Gain asset transparency - Understand asset condition rapidly
- Correct failures fast - Respond quickly and effectively to problems.
- Prevent failures effectively - Perform maintenance based on actual usage.
- Predict failures on time - Anticipate problems before they occur (PdM block needs to be purchased additionally)
-
Improve continuously - Track and log problems systematically.
Functions and Capabilities¶
Insights Hub Asset Health & Maintenance offers the following functions and capabilities:
-
Cases are digital records that document and manage maintenance events or incidents.
-
Assets are the physical or logical entities monitored and managed within the application. Merging and analyzing insights from asset types are:
- Monitors and representation of the asset’s health and maintenance needs.
- Displays the events that triggered the maintenance requests.
- Displays the evidence as time series data that triggered the maintenance requests.
- Displays the evidence as frequency spectra that triggered the maintenance requests.
-
Setup is the configuration tasks required to initialize and maintain system operation. Streamlining the maintenance process and information flow.
-
Administration is the ongoing management and oversight functions necessary for application. The key aspects are:
- Assigning user roles, managing permissions and handling authentication using Insights Hub Identity & Access Management (IAM).
- Supervising asset onboarding, modifications and decommissioning procedures.
