Comprehensive EAM / CMMS
Condition-based Maintenance (CBM)
Wireless Sensor Networking for Real-time Asset Monitoring.
RFM Aleier consultants work in concert with the wireless networking experts from the RF Monolithics companies to design and implement wireless sensor networking to meet specific goals for condition-based asset maintenance.
This may include affixing low-power wireless sensors to motors, HVAC systems, and a wide-variety of equipment in order to acquire data about its real-time operating condition. The services also include connecting the sensors, assets, and / or their operating systems to inexpensive low-power wireless networking to transmit operating condition data to the EAM / CMMS system where it is then compared to pre-determined failure-models. The EAM / CMMS system then ensures that maintenance is scheduled for assets with deteriorating performance to insure the asset’s availability and reliability.
Comprehensive Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) with Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS)
RFM Aleier solutions enable companies and organizations of all sizes to manage and maintain a wide variety of assets across their entire life-cycles. RFM Aleier cornerstone solution is the FM1 EAM Suite – a comprehensive EAM system that includes a full-featured CMMS with robust workorder management functionality.
The FM1 EAM Suite is a complete EAM / CMMS solution that enables organizations to:
- Maximize their real estate and building facilities operations
- Optimize utilization of their assets, materials and staff
- Streamline access to documentation and regulatory reporting
- Attribute expenses and revenue through financial controls and customer care features
Condition-based Maintenance (CBM)
The FM1 EAM Suite interfaces with building control systems, fleet tracking devices and monitoring systems, production and manufacturing assets, and a myriad of other devices via its FM1 Bridge interface. The FM1 Bridge enables FM1 to receive real-time asset condition information that is then used to take maintenance action in real time to optimize asset performance.
The FM1 Bridge also enables FM1 to communicate bi-directionally with assets, PCS systems, and service management crews via traditional connectivity methods (such as wired LANs/WANs or cellular to satellite) as well as through the latest generation of low-power wireless telemetry and sensor networking.
These new low-power wireless technologies support sophisticated connections to sensors, machines, and controllers -- making available an unprecedented amount of information about machinery, equipment, and structures than ever before. When implemented, these new data acquisition and collection capabilities enable organizations to not only eliminate costly manual condition-monitoring methods with hand-held devices, laser and barcode readers, but also to add condition-monitoring to devices and assets not previously physically feasible or cost effective.
RFM Aleier provides low-power wireless sensor networking for organizations desiring comprehensive condition-based maintenance management. The solution could include various network protocols including point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, mesh or a blend of these. RFM Aleier provides gateway and network bridge products to connect different network types to one another, all integrated to the FM1 EAM Suite system for a complete end-to-end solution.
