THE POWER OF PURE EXPERTISE AXSYS TECHNOLOGIES LTD Structural Maintenance

The idea of developing an integrated Fleet Management solution has been inspired during the long association of Axsys with classification society and offshore owners /operators. Participation of Axsys in their projects helped to understand the various requirements of maintenance and management activities of a fleet. Specification of the product has been conceived in line of those requirements and the WIDE OCEAN suite is developed as an ultimate Fleet Management solution comprising maintenance and management solution for Structure, Machinery and Crew etc. checked

Structural Maintenance Machinery Maintenance Crew Management is a Fleet Management System for Owners/Operators to maintain the structural components, the machinery and the management of the crew of a fleet of marine assets such as ships and offshore structures. The system is a multi-user, modular, enterprise application that covers the principle aspects of asset’s operation and provides a comprehensive data repository that caters to systematically tracking the condition of the asset. The Wide Ocean suite has the following major modules: Structural Maintenance Machinery Maintenance Crew Management Quality, Health, Safety, Environment checked

STRUCTURAL MAINTENANCE checked

The Structural Maintenance application is an Asset Integrity Management System meant for the Owners/Operators to maintain the structural components of their marine assets like ships and offshore structures. It provides a comprehensive data repository where data related to the geometry of structures and properties are stored. Condition data in the form of Inspection findings, Gaugings, Anode findings, anomalies etc can be stored and tracked throughout the life cycle of the asset. A 3D model of the asset is created based on as-built drawings and displayed in application which enables users to view information related to the structures. The 3D model helps the users to store inspection information, gauging readings and record anomaly data to the exact locations of the structures. checked

Inspection Planning & Tracking Inspection can be planned & tracked throughout the inspection life cycle. Inspection can be planned for compartment(s) and assigned to multiple users (surveyors). Assigned users can track their assignment and submit them duly filled with their various findings. An inspection can be tracked for it’s current status, audited for approval and finally closed. checked

Inspection General Findings The inspector can record their findings once the inspection of a compartment is commenced. Findings can be recorded through a general scoring process for coating, corrosion, pitting, grooving, deformation, fracture, anode, cleanliness etc. Scoring is done using pre-defined condition criteria levels. checked

Inspection Coating Assessment The coating condition for a compartment can be recorded An area calculation tool provides a convenient way to calculate the coating area A coating repair procedure can be planned and defined As a part of the repair procedure a coating manufacturer can be specified. Different coating systems applicable to the different compartment types can be pre-defined together with the paint manufacturers, product names and their prices. checked

Inspection Recording Anomaly An Anomaly identified during inspection can be recorded by creating a markup at the exact location of affected area. Various information of the Anomaly like Criteria of Inspection, location, incident type, defect descriptor etc. can be recorded along with the markup A risk based assessment in different category, like Environment, Financial, Health & Safety, can also be assessed. Based on the above information a repair plan can be defined. The repair plan generates a material list within the markup area. Checked
