GE Digitalannounced the availability of Industrial Data Diagnostics, a cloud application that is complementary to the company’s APM asset performance management software. Industrial Data Diagnostics
serves as a diagnostic tool set providing data quality recommendations along with out-of-the-box, user-friendly designed analytics used to help assess predictive maintenance effectiveness, find benchmarked bad actors, and quantify opportunity benefits.
Large enterprises with several plants, with non-standardized CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) data, and/or multiple CMMS instances, can benefit from Industrial Data Diagnostics through data standardization, enterprise metrics, and data analytical capabilities.
Improving maintenance data quality from EAM/CMMS systems helps to improve Asset Performance Management practices and better enable data-driven decision making with greater confidence. Industrial Data Diagnostics software helps to distinguish usable data from incomplete or inaccurate data, which in turn helps customers to identify unnecessary spending, experience a stronger ROI, benchmark against industry peers, and identify data improvement opportunities simultaneously. Companies can utilize the Industrial Data Diagnostics data quality module to gauge the quality and potential gaps of their asset management data and have a clearer understanding of what data they should have to initiate an asset performance management project.
Industrial Data Diagnostics helps companies to understand which metrics can be measured and reported with greater confidence and identify what data needs to be improved over time. It is designed to help show company performance as compared to the average peer benchmark for overall maintenance costs, average maintenance work costs, average maintenance work counts, mechanical downtime, and site performance. It also provides an asset performance comparison for assets at the different levels of corporate hierarchy, equipment classification, or the individual asset level.
Another feature of Industrial Data Diagnostics provides the average corrective costs versus the mean time between repairs for specific manufacturers of an equipment type or class.
Industrial Data Diagnostics (formally Asset Answers) is designed to include an improved UX/UI, greater scalability, and tighter integration with GE Digital’s APM. Built on the same platform as APM, users can more easily navigate between modules using a single login and help to accelerate the value their asset performance management experience.
