Asset Management in Heavy Industries

Making Asset Management Simple in Multiple Scenarios

The AMPS asset management system is versatile and can be adapted to various client needs. In this article, we explore two specific use cases:

• Heavy industry plants
• Inspection companies

Heavy Industry Plants

In factory-like settings such as steel mills, gas plants, or dairy processing facilities, assets are critical for seamless operations. With AMPS, assets are automatically assigned QR codes, and every job performed on them is tracked on the Asset Jobs page. This means each asset have a complete history of all jobs, including documents, reports, timesheets, costs, and more.

For example, in a dairy plant, the QA department can create assets in AMPS (with sub-assets if needed) and plan all necessary inspections. The flag system notifies the QA team one month in advance when an inspection is due.

If an inspection requires a third-party inspector, the QA manager can assign a temporary role, granting access to asset histories or other necessary information. This access can be easily revoked using AMPS’ robust permission and authorization system.

A significant benefit of using AMPS in large plants is that it functions as a QA department systems while integrating seamlessly with existing internal systems. This ensures quality assurance processes remain optimized with a system designed specifically for this purpose.

Additionally, AMPS allows QA teams to access documents in the field via cellphones or tablets. Simply scan the QR code on the equipment to instantly retrieve all relevant information.

In an Inspection Company

For inspection companies, AMPS’ asset management system is invaluable for managing equipment with periodic inspection schedules.

Imagine a restaurant chain with multiple gas storage tanks that require inspection every two years. You can create the company as the main asset and the individual tanks as sub-assets. The system tracks when each tank is due for inspection and alerts the company to schedule it.

With AMPS’ advanced search functionality, finding assets and related documents is effortless. The search system allows you to locate jobs, assets, or documents using any relevant information, eliminating the need for cumbersome folder structures on conventional servers.

Another advantage of setting up assets in AMPS is the ability to generate reports on-site during inspections, rather than back at the office. This is made possible by the reporting system, which enables users to copy data from previous reports while excluding irrelevant information, saving time and increasing efficiency.
