Build Illustrated Parts Catalogues Associated with Equipment in the EAM

Our customers use NRX AssetHub to build illustrated parts catalogues associated with equipment in the EAM. After doing so, parts are connected to the identification number in the procurement system. From an EAM work order, you can visually select a part in an exploded parts diagram, follow a hotpoint link to the part in a parts list, and quickly select the part(s) to be added. Supplementary content such as pictures and vendor manuals can also be included to simplify the selection process. You can then specify quantities, and update the work order automatically. The benefits of this solution are that planners and workers can select replacement parts quickly and accurately. This reduces costs associated with misidentified parts and increases wrench time. The drawback of this approach is that it requires you to invest significant time and effort upfront. It may only make sense for frequently serviced or safety-critical equipment.

Automate the Parts Request Process to Enforce Data Governance and Easily Capture Information Needed by the Procurement System

NRX AssetHub provides a flexible, customizable form and email-based governance and workflow around requests to add, delete, change or replace parts and BOMs either one at a time or in bulk. It also includes a powerful parts search feature that searches all relevant fields in the existing EAM parts list at once to find all close matches rather than strictly exact matches. This avoids duplicate parts from the beginning without having to waste time on multiple searches.

Build BOMs from Vendor-Recommended Spare Parts Lists

Using NRX AssetHub, you can easily view the list of vendor-recommended spare parts for an asset in the visual parts catalog. Maintenance staff can use the vendor parts list to quickly create a BOM. Use intelligent SKU matching to match the recommended parts in inventory, and add the SKUs to a BOM. You can also see lists of suggested BOMs based on similarities in assets, and quickly associate one or more with an asset. Consequently, you can build accurate BOMs quickly that are connected to the procurement system and easily accessed from work orders. Intelligent SKU matching eliminates duplicates and obsolete spare parts as well. The drawback is that building accurate BOMs for every piece of equipment is a time-consuming task. It may only be necessary to create BOMs for critical equipment or equipment that requires frequent parts orders.

Standardize Parts Descriptions

NRX AssetHub lets you automatically name a part based on its class and attributes as you create it, or run a job to rename existing parts in bulk. The format of the description changes based on the type of material and the naming convention can be customized to standardize the names of existing materials. The benefit of this is that it is easy to keep materials names consistent and to enforce corporate naming standards. Also, defining attributes will now be displayed in the description so that finding and searching the correct part is simple.

Organize Vendor Documents and Link them Directly to Locations and Equipment in an EAM

NRX AssetHub can automatically create search indexes based on equipment attributes, and organize the documents in a logical, consistent manner. It then ensures that search indexes of vendor documents remain in sync with their assets, and updates the indexes automatically as assets or asset attributes change. You can then easily find documents from your Document Management System with the assets to which they apply in the EAM system so they can be easily located from a work order. The benefits of this are that maintenance workers find vendor information quickly and reduce downtime. The drawback is that you must ensure all vendor documents are up-to-date and accurate prior to loading them into your Document Management System. For large asset-intensive companies, this can be a tedious and time-consuming task.

Take Advantage of a Standard Library of Material Classes and Characteristics to Organise, Locate, and Analyse Parts in the Procurement System

NRX AssetHub provides a list of the free class and attributes library for parts connected to the EAM and the ability to find third-party libraries. Procedures for checking, adding and renaming parts are completely automated and intelligent suggestions speed the process of associating them with equipment by recommending matches for equipment with similar properties. Copy and paste functionality, and bulk processes help users to apply changes to groups of objects quickly and easily. You can then search and filter catalogues of EAM parts by descriptions and attributes including second class and characteristics.

Create Accurate Equipment Data

NRX AssetHub allows you to quickly and easily build thin-to-rich asset and maintenance data. The building process is collaborative, iterative, and highly transparent, just acquire and load data from multiple sources into NRX AssetHub, edit and validate the data collaboratively with maintenance personnel and/or contractors, and deploy high-quality EAM-ready data when finished. By doing so, you can be sure that data deployed is complete and accurate, thereby avoiding costly data cleansing projects in the future and reducing the cost of ongoing maintenance and operations.

Locate Unnecessary Inventory, Eliminate Duplicate Parts, and Resolve Data Quality Issues

NRX AssetHub helps our customers detect data quality issues using powerful reporting capabilities and by providing a complete 360-degree view of your asset hierarchy to highlight gaps, and measure the completeness of parts data in your EAM. Asset spare filtering allows customers to focus on areas of particular concern, such as misnamed or unclassified parts, and to locate unnecessary inventory and duplicate parts. Once issues have been discovered, corrective actions can be made to eliminate inadequate and most associated with duplicate or unnecessary inventory. The drawback is that fixing spare part data is an expensive process. Rather than fixing everything at once, analyze where the most lost revenue and expenses are occurring in your business and address more problems first for greatest ROI.
