Meridium's content partner, Asset Performance Technologies, Inc. (APT), has entered into a partnership with Silcar Pty Ltd for use of APT's library of industry best practices for Preventive Maintenance (PM). The APT Asset Strategy Library (ASL) is currently in use in 84% of the nuclear power generation facilities in the U.S., as well as Japan and South Korea, and was recently validated in the oil and gas industry. The ASL consists of over 320 asset strategy templates addressing a broad range of infrastructure equipment (pumps, valves, motors, compressors, etc.) that are universally applicable to nearly all industries. With in-depth failure mode tables (approximately 60 modes per model) and PM effectiveness mapped to each mode, the ASL can be used to expedite PM improvement efforts. According to David Worledge, CEO of APT, "Most traditional RCM methods for PM improvement start with a blank sheet of paper. They simply aren't practical for large scale deployment in real production environments. That's why we created the APT Asset Strategy Library. Now, Silcar maintenance and reliability engineers can start with an expert-recommended PM program that has a sound technical basis for the tasks and intervals." The APT Asset Strategy Library is used in conjunction with Meridium's Asset Strategy Management (ASM) software module and will allow Silcar to quickly define an optimized strategy, apply it to an asset and make the appropriate adjustments for operating context, organizational risk and cost goals. The completed asset strategy is then easily transferred into the customer's corporate EAM or CMMS systems using Meridium's Asset Strategy Implementation (ASI) module. According to Silcar CEO Bernie Cooper, "With the addition of APT's Asset Strategy Library to our Meridium APM platform, Silcar is in a strengthened position to continue our success in providing global access to maintenance knowledge for our clients. Our teams will be able to accelerate the development and implementation of their maintenance strategies, saving valuable time and money in the process."
