Demonstrating compliance to regulations in the Transmission and Distribution industry requires a systematic approach to CBM.

Exelon had done an excellent job of collecting and monitoring asset health indicators. Now they required a process and engine to bring it all together.  Learn how Exelon used Ivara EXP as the engine to consolidate and automate the processing of all sources of data to calculate an overall Asset Health Index score. Data sources included:

• Results from PdM analyses (Oil, Vibration)
• Individual equipment health indices from their CBM repository
• Critical asset characteristics (age, operating context, etc.) as well as work history and problem reports from their EAM system 
• Peak load data from their data historian
• Models of Equipment/Asset Deterioration

See the results of Exelon’s 3 month project implementing EXP to generate asset health indices for over 30 asset classes leading to prioritize maintenance work and drive capital replacement decisions and cost estimates. Learn about the critical success factors and what they learned in the process of bringing together all of their data to get the complete picture of asset health.  Understand how the flexibility of the Ivara EXP Enterprise software has set a new benchmark in Exelon’s reporting capability to NERC, PUC and DOE.

Learn how PG&E uses Ivara EXP Enterprise software to ensure assets perform at optimal levels when in use, especially during peak demand periods. With billions invested in their physical assets required to transmit and distribute electric power over 100,000+ square-miles, PG&E uses Ivara’s Mobile Tablet PC interface (Ivara EXP Remote) to inspect and test equipment in a disconnected environment across this wide geographic area.

See how EXP Remote has enabled PG&E to improve the way they collect condition data. With visibility to relevant asset data as well as SAP work orders while disconnected, their mobile workforce can now complete work more efficient and make fast and accurate maintenance decisions based on real-time asset health. In addition, EXP’s leading indicators of asset performance and calculations based on multiple data sources determine serviceability and health integrity.

With a centralized view of every asset’s health, PG&E also has the system in place to demonstrate compliance with stringent industry regulations, avoiding steep fines for non-compliance.

The solution is integrated with SAP PM as well as PG&E’s geographic information system (GIS).  See how EXP is used to manage the process for asset strategy, collection of condition data, consolidation and analysis of data from multiple sources, CBM analytics and Work Order triggers as well as backend analytics for continuous improvement of asset intelligence and relative EAM strategy. Learn how PG&E uses EXP to make better decisions based on more accurate, timely, and complete information to reduce operational risk.
