Simple APM

Problem and implemented solution

Managing the life cycle of an industrial enterprise is a complex process associated with large risks and areas of responsibility. Companies constantly need to monitor product output and compliance with the technological process, thousands of employees and tens of thousands of pieces of equipment. It is difficult to predict breakdowns and plan repair work without disrupting the production chain. Managing the assets of an entire enterprise is even more difficult. Software products, including those that we are developing, make it possible to simplify the life of an enterprise by digitalizing these operations and data. The Simple Company project aims to solve these problems. Simple APM (Asset Performance Management) is a set of software and services designed to improve the performance of assets and the efficiency of their operation, maintenance and repair of equipment and the enterprise as a whole. APM is the most advanced strategic planning system and only a few organizations are currently using it. Nevertheless, the combination of financial information (maintenance costs and production costs), equipment status data (from programmable logic computing devices and supervisory control and data acquisition), and probability of failure data provides high value for operational organizations. The combination of financial information (maintenance costs and production costs), equipment health data (from programmable logic computing devices and supervisory control and data acquisition), and probability of failure (end of life) data provides high value to operating organizations. For most companies, maintenance planning uses a simple measure of equipment availability at minimal cost, optimizing mean time between failures (MTBF) and mean time to repair. This approach does not take into account lost profits from production downtime or the impact of the number of repairs on equipment productivity.

Topic

Manufacturing management and optimization

Estimated duration of implementation

The minimum period for implementing a pilot project is from 6 months, depending on the complexity of the equipment and the availability of an appropriate amount of data for the implementation of the system.

Implementation geography

At the moment, we only implement our product in Russia. We are planning to expand to other markets, for instance, to the Asia-Pacific region, Middle East and Africa.

Description of competitive advantages

Simple APM, in comparison with its competitors, takes into account not only equipment failures, but also a decrease in the efficiency of the asset, the quality of manufactured products, the risks of man-made events, as well as physical (destruction of the facility and the environment) and economic consequences. Some examples of our competitors are AVEVA, Bentley Systems, Bently Nevada, GE Digital and other, a full analysis of our competitive advantages is included in our presentation attached to the application.
