How do I use HxGN EAM to improve asset reliability?

HxGN EAM can be used to improve asset reliability by implementing a preventive maintenance program, using condition monitoring to track asset health, performing root cause analysis on failures, optimizing spare parts inventory, and using analytics.

Here are a few tips:

  1. Implement a preventive maintenance (PM) program. HxGN EAM makes it easy to create and manage PM schedules, so you can ensure that your assets are being maintained on a regular basis. This will help to prevent failures and extend the life of your assets.
  2. Use condition monitoring to track asset health. HxGN EAM can be integrated with condition monitoring systems to collect data on the condition of your assets. This data can be used to identify potential problems early on, so you can take corrective action before a failure occurs.
  3. Perform root cause analysis (RCA) on failures. When an asset does fail, HxGN EAM can be used to perform RCA to identify the root cause of the failure. This information can then be used to prevent similar failures from happening in the future.
  4. Optimize your spare parts inventory. HxGN EAM can help you to optimize your spare parts inventory by tracking inventory levels and predicting future demand. This will ensure that you have the right parts on hand when you need them, without carrying too much inventory.
  5. Use analytics to gain insights into asset performance. HxGN EAM provides a variety of analytics tools that can be used to gain insights into asset performance. This information can be used to identify areas where improvement is needed and to make better decisions about asset maintenance and investment.

Here are some specific examples of how HxGN EAM can be used to improve asset reliability:

  • Use the Reliability Calculations report to identify assets that are most at risk of failure. This report can be used to prioritize assets for preventive maintenance and condition monitoring.
  • Use the Calibration Management module to ensure that all measurement and test equipment is calibrated on a regular basis. This will help to ensure the accuracy of condition monitoring data.
  • Use the Failure Management module to track and analyze asset failures. This information can be used to identify trends and patterns, and to develop strategies to prevent similar failures from happening in the future.
  • Use the Spare Parts Management module to optimize your spare parts inventory. This module can be used to track inventory levels, predict future demand, and generate reorder points.
  • Use the Asset Analytics module to gain insights into asset performance. This module provides a variety of reports and dashboards that can be used to identify assets that are underperforming, to track trends over time, and to predict future performance.

By following these tips, you can use HxGN EAM to improve asset reliability, reduce downtime, and extend the life of your assets.
