Capabilities

Our unique platform focuses on specific processes to help you manage your end-to-end maintenance flow. Ready4 Asset Management is designed to simplify and digitalise your maintenance processes and the servicing of your assets. Discover below what Ready4 Asset Management includes.

Initiation

How accurately and quickly you capture incidents in the field and report them to your maintenance teams is key. But frequently work requests are not matched to the right assets and the maintenance required is incorrectly described. Sometimes there can be several reports from different people on the same issue increasing workload and duplicating effort, or at other times the problem is forgotten and not reported at all.

Ready4 Asset Management gives you an intuitive and easy-to-use mobile application that allows you to create the fields you need, scan or use OCT to identify each asset and upload photos. You will get instant access to all pending and historic data about your asset and be able to add incident and damage coding to structure each work request.

Quickly create work requests which are immediately centralised in SAP
Simplify gatekeeping with quality data input for all work requests
Prevent duplicate work requests
Empower your maintenance and production workers with an easy-to-use mobile tool for work requests and follow-up
Get a single version of the truth in one digital dashboard, with no paper trail or separate data sources

Gatekeeping

The gatekeeping process allows you to assess, evaluate, prioritise and validate your work requests. Ready4 Asset Management puts checks in so that you can link your work request with the validation of the work before it commences.

Validate relevancy of all active notification
Plan potential sanity check onsite (inspection)
Assess urgency of requests
Seamlessly transform the notification into a work order

FAQ

Why is it important to get a 360-degree view of your asset management performance?

As a Technical Asset Manager, you have responsibility for the management of your organisation’s asset portfolio. These responsibilities usually cover many areas, from overall portfolio management and health monitoring through to controlling maintenance costs and maximising availability and providing insight to the schedulers and planners. Without IoT processes in place as well as the right software tools and a centralised assets database, it will be very hard to optimise your assets, manage their availability, link to failure and causes and control maintenance costs. It is therefore vital to have 360-degree view of your asset management performance to give you all the information you need on one simplified platform where you can monitor all aspects of your assets and act and respond as needs change.

What is an asset dashboard and how does it work?

We’ve developed a dedicated Asset Dashboard so you can combine available Master Data from your ERP system and your IoT sensors readings from any SAP backend solution. This integrated approach allows you to consolidate your assets through one single dashboard which is easy to use and implementable in a plug & plan mode, meaning there’s no need for a large product roll-out, keeping costs down. Your combined data is displayed on the main cockpit screen showing the Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE), and at-a-glance, stats such as maintenance costs, assets under repair, assets by type etc. You can also access more detailed data about asset types, maintenance required or repairs. You will also get IoT data readings allowing you to measure the health of your assets on an ongoing basis.

What is the main benefit you get from using an Asset Dashboard?

The dashboard gives you a combined view of the status of your assets and lets you set parameters such as temperature thresholds and monitor KPIs for efficiency and effectiveness. You’ll get in-depth analysis of technical data and operational data all in one place, helping you to produce maintenance and repair strategies more easily and quickly. As we are proposing a platform with a full end to end functional coverage regarding your maintenance plan, you will be able from this cockpit to generate automatically alerts & notifications, generating workload into the Gatekeeping interface, where all those alerts & notifications will be centrally managed and eventually transformed into a Service Order or Work Order.
