FROM PIPELINES TO RAILWAYS: EFFICIENT LINEAR ASSET MANAGEMENT WITH IBM MAXIMO
Managing linear assets like pipelines, power lines, highways, or railways presents unique challenges that conventional asset management systems cannot address.
Unique Challenges
Complex Location Tracking
How do you precisely locate a leak on a pipeline that is hundreds of kilometers long?
Segmentation and Attributes
Each section of a linear asset may have different characteristics (installation year, material, condition, etc.) and must be managed individually.
Work on Asset Segments
Planning and tracking maintenance tasks (e.g., repairing a 50m section from km 10+200 to km 10+250) demands high precision.
IBM Maximo for Linear Assets Solves the Problem
Dynamic Referencing
Allows users to define and manage assets and work based on dynamic reference points, GPS coordinates, or addresses, ensuring precise location identification.
Asset Segmentation
Easily break down a linear asset into multiple segments and assign specific attributes and maintenance histories to each segment.
Detailed Cost Tracking
Helps calculate and track operating and maintenance costs per meter or kilometer of the asset, providing transparent data for budgeting.
Increased Inspection Efficiency
Reports show that implementing Maximo can reduce the time required for inspection and asset condition reporting activities by up to 40%.
Avenue JSC has extensive experience in implementing Maximo, serving industries such as Transportation, Utilities (Power, Water), and Telecommunications, helping businesses gain control over their most complex assets.
