Asset Performance Management
Focus on condition, performance & risk management
New potentials through innovative technologies
What is Asset Performance Management
- Asset Performance Management (APM) optimizes the performance of physical assets.
- APM aims to improve asset reliability, availability, safety and efficiency while minimizing operational costs and downtime.
- APM involves the collection and analysis of data from various sources, such as sensors and maintenance logs.
- Common APM methods include condition monitoring, preventive maintenance, reliability-centered maintenance (RCM), asset health management, and asset performance analytics.
- APM provides detailed information on the condition of assets and helps reduce maintenance costs and optimize utilization.
- Overall, APM leads to improved operational efficiency and profitability.
APM as a bridge from EAM to productivity
Performance
APM improves the performance and increases the service life of production equipment. This continuously monitors, analyzes and optimizes maintenance processes to increase efficiency and productivity. Bottlenecks are identified and malfunctions are detected and eliminated in good time. The targeted increase in energy efficiency reduces operating costs and increases competitiveness. Increased plant availability and reliability improve the ability to plan production, increase plant utilization, and enhance customer satisfaction.
Resource consumption
The evaluation of sensor data on the energy consumption of assets enables efficient energy use, which is displayed transparently. The technology identifies inefficient assets and processes and suggests improvement measures. It also detects potential problems at an early stage. Real-time data analysis identifies deviations in energy consumption to avoid disruptions and inefficient operating conditions. The added values are increased profitability, cost reduction and a positive impact on the environment.
Product and process quality
Real-time monitoring of assets enables immediate detection of potential problems, leading to improved product quality. Data analysis can be used to identify weaknesses and implement process improvements to ensure high standards and optimize product traceability.
Overal Equipment Efficiency (OEE)
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) measures the overall effectiveness of production equipment and is a combination of three factors: availability, performance and quality. OEE is used to identify and eliminate bottlenecks and inefficiencies in production. APM optimizes plant performance and increases OEE.

Asset Health Management
Asset health management is an important method for reporting the current and future condition of assets. By continuously collecting and analyzing data, potential problems can be identified at an early stage and appropriate measures can be taken to minimize failures and extend the life of assets. Asset health management can ensure that there is always visibility into the condition of the asset.
Early detection of problems
The use of asset performance management enables proactive maintenance planning to avoid downtime. Preventive maintenance measures on production equipment ensure continuity of production capacity, product quality and adherence to schedules.
Reduction of downtime

Reduction of downtime
Knowing the exact condition of assets opens up new possibilities in condition monitoring. Complex dependencies can be identified and unplanned failures, downtime and scrap can be reduced even further.
Extending the life of assets
The use of asset health management extends the life of assets and protects investments. One example is the preventive maintenance of assets to ensure that they remain in a sustainable, operational condition over the long term. By taking such a proactive approach, the maximum benefit is derived from the assets.

Increased efficiency
Asset health management increases efficiency by improving utilization of production capacity, lowering operating costs, and reducing maintenance time. One example is the use of real-time data to monitor asset performance and utilization.
Better decision through data analysis
Asset Performance Management enables the collection and analysis of data for informed decision-making. It monitors the performance of machines, identifies trends and points out problems or maintenance needs. Based on these findings, decisions are made on maintenance planning, repairs and investments in new equipment.
