The As-built Technical Documentation sets the basis for the asset register in any computerized maintenance management system, CMMS. The asset register will be constructed in superior and subordinate levels, to give a clear understanding of the functions of the assets only by viewing a 2D as-built technical hierarchy = Your CMMS Digital Twin.
It is built through a well-planned and thorough inspection of the physical installation where the P&IDs and documentation is reviewed to create a validated digital model and alignment of equipment relations in the technical hierarchy. It consists typically of technical objects such as functional locations, equipment numbers, material numbers, assemblies, system dividers and more along with Master Data Management.
The technical hierarchy is the backbone for multiple business value propositions:
- Asset financials and cost transparency
- Maintenance & compliance (Corrective/Preventive, failure data, spare part usage etc.)
- Documentation relations
- Spare part strategies
- Secure trust towards the CMMS
- Cross asset optimizations
- Set the foundation for and enables good data quality
In brief: If your organization wants to be effective in optimizing your operation/process, planning, maintenance overall, failure reporting and collect trustworthy asset historical data – As-built Technical Hierarchy is were you start your journey. It enables scalable business optimization decisions for all your assets and sets the foundation for machine learning and AI possibilities.
