10. Added value contractors
Integrated approach
Focus on RAMSHE (availability, reliability, maintainability and safety
Powerful control (planning) processes
Integration of maintenance management in organization
Focused ICT support for processes
Focused on transparency and development of cooperation
Expert in organization Condition Based Maintenance

11. Importance Monitoring and Condition Based Maintenance
Higher requirements - proactive/preventive approach
Most effective Maintenance strategy
Only executing Maintenance where and when
needed
Obligatory inspections by law
Basis of Life Cycle considerations and investment plans
Pillar in Reporting Performance contracts
Requires absolute transparency en data sharing
11, 12 en 13 nog samenvoegen

12. Difficulties Condition Based Maintenance
Differences of judgments and registration
Labor-intensive data transmission /analyses
Managing of workflow and reporting
Availability of management information, historic and current
Manage gigantic amounts of data
Requires viewing-, analyzing- and reporting tools
Costs for tools are considerable and it requires specialists
Requires specialist know how in combination with maintenance processes

13. Organization Monitoring and condition based maintenance

15. Mobile Inspection platform (FlexInspect)
Standardized data, everywhere accessible
All inspections and all assets
Readily adaptable, fast results
Integrated storage of all photographs
Barcode & GPS (0-1 m)
Easy to integrate with other systems
More transparency
25 % - 50 % cost reduction

16. Monitoring platform (AOC)
AOC stands for Asset Observation Center
“Real-time” observation of assets for:
Early detection of failures => increase of availability
More insight in performance en degradation => better maintainability
Easily combines different infrastructures, installations and systems on several sites
Web-based customer portal with custom-made data presentation
Alarms can be generated by relays, , SMS or directly send to a PAC
Cost-effective and flexible due to modularity
