Many companies utilize an Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system for facilitating maintenance and asset management as well as a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for infrastructure data management, mapping and analysis. However, few organizations do so in an integrated manner to create advanced and optimized asset management systems. Much of the potential of these systems is never realized due to the lack of integration, coordination and optimization between the systems.
In this case study we will demonstrate how assets and scheduled maintenance (e.g., PM, PdM) procedures associated with spatial data can be managed through enterprise integration by field personnel with little or no training. For those teams tasked with maintaining these applications the integrity of the data structure remains secured and the functionality enhanced through leveraging the best that each technology has to offer.
As the need for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) develops and matures enterprise integration will continue to find its place in the day to day activities of companies that must maintain diverse assets with multiple data structures and applications. It is the intent of this session to generate interest in this subject and work together to further its progress within the oil & gas pipeline sector.
