Predictive Asset(Device/Equipment)Maintenance

Solution Description

System/application based on predictive analytics that helps reduce unscheduled asset downtime with the following features.

• Real time alerts for equipment failure
• Indications for type and possible time of failure
• Email/messaging to respective personnelto take corrective action
• Standard BI reports / visualization for equipment performance / failures

Solution Overflow

• Build predictive engine for equipment / device failures basis historical information
• Collect equipment’s monitoring information at regular time intervals and feed predictive engine
• Predictive engine to provide alerts on any possible equipment failure and insights on type and time of possible failure
• Communicate alert information to respective personnel for corrective action

Solution Leveraging Hana Capabilities

• Application would be hosted on the cloud and will need to support multiple clients with multiple installations / plants and would leverage on HANAs
  
  • Multi Tenancy and cloud deployment
• This is the typical relationship that exists – Component → Devices → Equipment → Multiple Equipment → Plant. Monitoring information needs to be collected at real timeat a component level if configured so. This would require real time integration of significant volume of records and would leverage on the following HANA components.
  
  • Data Services
  • ESP
• And leverage on the following features
  
  • Column & Row store
  • Partitioning
  • In-memory compression
  • Active/Passing & Data Aging
  • Multi / Core parallelization
• Predictive engine that runs robust algorithms to match against historical records to determine probability of failure at a component / device / equipment level in real time and would heavily leverage on following HANA components
  
  • Predictive Analytics Library
  • “R” HS Integration
  • Parallel Calculations
• And leverage on the following features
  
  • Column Store
  • Analytics on historical data
  • Parallelization
  • In-memory
• Standard BI reports / visualization for equipment performance / failures which leverages OLAP features of HANA
• Communicate alert information to respective personnel for corrective action would leverage on the following HANA components
  
  • OData
  • SQL

Solution Benefits

• Predict equipment/device failure thereby ensuring high asset availability and performance
• Reduce operational costs and enhance asset productivity
• Increased and timely yields from processes leading to optimization of quality and supply chain processes
