& Maintenance
Inefficient Processes, Systems and tools resulting in High % Downtime and excessive use of manpower for various processes as described below:
> Managing Diverse and Distributed Assets
> Challenges
– Utilities manage a wide variety of assets (water, sewer, electricity, environment, roads, properties, buildings), each with unique maintenance needs and schedules.
– Assets are geographically dispersed, making coordination and tracking challenging.
> Solutions
EDAMS Maintenance Management System (MMS) provides comprehensive Asset and Service Coverage
– Supports all asset types and services (water, sewer, electricity, environment, infrastructure, buildings) in one integrated platform.
– Centralizes data collection, logging, and reporting from diverse sources.
> Complex Data Collection and Logging
> Challenges
– Maintenance data streams come from multiple sources: sensor logs (e.g., dam levels, pump hours), manual inspections, and customer or operator reports.
– Inconsistent, incomplete, or unintegrated data leads to inefficiencies and missed maintenance tasks.
> Solutions
EDAMS products provide Seamless Data Logging and Integration
– Handles automatic and manual data entry for any operational log (irradiance, temperature, etc.).
– Real-time data ingestion from IoT sensors and manual sources ensures up-to-date information for operations and planning.
> Operational Workflow Complexity
> Challenges
– Workflows span multiple departments (engineering, field teams, administration), each with unique requirements and procedures.
– Manual or paper-based processes cause delays, errors, and lack of visibility.
> Solutions
EDAMS Maintenance Management System (MMS) provides End-to-End Workflow Automation
– Automates the full cycle of maintenance requests, work orders, approvals, execution, and reporting.
– Integrates with internal and external request systems, enabling cross-departmental coordination.
– Parametric design allows organizations to define, simulate, and adapt workflows and application processing to meet evolving needs.
> Proactive and Preventive Maintenance Gaps
> Challenges
– Difficulty in scheduling and tracking preventive maintenance leads to increased breakdowns and reactive repairs, raising costs and causing service interruptions.
– Limited ability to simulate and optimize maintenance strategies based on operational data.
> Solutions
EDAMS Maintenance Management System (MMS) includes Proactive and Preventive Maintenance Scheduling
– Supports definition and automation of routine, proactive, and preventive maintenance tasks.
– Monitors vital operational parameters to trigger preventive actions and reduce breakdowns.
> Field Validation, Maintenance and Condition Assessment of Assets
> Solutions
The EDAMS Field Work Management software utilize industry specific pre-defined templates to assist mobile field workers carry out:
– Data Capture
– Asset Condition Assessment
– Maintenance
– Recording of Readings / Logs / Events
– The system reduces downtime, offers better visibility of asset data and its records, does away with paperwork and provides direct integration to the assets database.
> Management Reporting, resulting in a lot of Data Analytics
> Solutions
EDAMS Business Intelligence (BI) module can publish reports in several formats including:
– Dashboards,
– Real Time Dashboards,
– GIS / Maps,
– Reports and
– Enquiries doing away with time consuming data processing
