Avantis.DMM facilitates the consistent and timely collection of equipment-related data that is of central importance to maintenance management. This data is collected through a combination of real-time monitors and intuitive configuration screens. Through automatic data feeds from the plant floor, it closes the loop between operations and maintenance. Data need only be entered once, thus eliminating the need for redundant data entry and decreasing the possibility of entry errors. Avantis.DMM automatically tracks plant floor assets and integrates real-time information to the Avantis Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solution, Avantis.XA. This approach facilitates a planned and reliability-based strategy to work management, thereby reducing material and labor costs, and ensuring work is done safely at the right time by the right people. This solution provides information to operations personnel, thus empowering them to make more informed decisions. Hence, both Operations and Maintenance personnel have access to the same timely asset information for better decision making.
