The technical documentation of a plant is expensive and often amounts to 10 or more percent of the total plant costs. Construction, customer advisors, after-sales service and various subsuppliers of the plant supplier try to design the technical documentation for their customers in a clear way but also need to fulfil the legal commitments.

Thereby the customer needs to effort very intensive and time consuming studying to decode for instance practical maintenance instructions or practical workflows in the partly very extensive technical documentation.

With the solution for OEM and turnkey suppliers API PRO supports the transformation of technical documentation into e.g. counter based workflows for maintenance.

The advantages are on both sides, on the supplier’s and on the customer’s side:

Supplier:

• Functional integration of the documentation in the plant structure
• Overview of yearly maintenance costs and resources
• Spare parts included in the system with supplier information
• Reduction of stop time for repairs
• Predefined service agreements included in the system

Customer:

• Follow up of equipment related activities for audit trails and legally regulated proofs
• Direct use of predefined maintenance activities
• Follow up on all maintenance costs
• Optimization of spare part stock
• Reduction of unplanned stop time
• Easy searching for technical data, documents,…
• Effective resource planning
