The efficient, trouble-free operation of critical infrastructure assets is vital to your business success. Downtime due to unanticipated breakdowns and reliability issues will cost your business in terms of:

Increased maintenance costs - due to unnecessary maintenance, delayed intervention, and widening work scope.

Reduced lifespan of equipment - keeping on top of maintenance optimizes your assets’ lifespan

Downtime while engineers and technicians search for the problems - engineers spend 40% of their time locating and diagnosing faults according to the US National Institute of Standards and Technology

Organizational dissatisfaction with delays - no one likes to be kept waiting

Potential environmental and health and safety risks, think EPA - carries the threat of damaging public relations and expensive litigation costs

Increased insurance costs - definitely bad for business.

It has been estimated that more than $750 billion is spent as a direct result of inadequate asset management and maintenance programs each year in the US. How much is your current asset performance monitoring and management program costing your business?

How well do you know your assets?

Ask yourself these critical questions:

Are you really on top of your asset maintenance program?

How much will an untimely critical asset failure cost your business?

Do you want to transform your organization with reliable real-time inflowing information and asset analytics that you can depend on, anywhere, any time?

Isn't it time for less misses and more detections?

The solution is obvious.

The Industrial Vector Systems (IVS) suite of industry-leading asset management tools gives you the insights you need for measurable reliability and performance improvements across your organization. That’s right, improve your critical assets performance and your organizational efficiency too, i.e., better information equates to better, more decisive management decisions.

How much money can IVS save my business?

The IVS Reliability Suite will reduce your operating costs with:
  • Instant, real-time, forthcoming information-driven reports
  • Enhanced decision accuracy and consistency
  • Informed critical assessments
  • Immediate indication of system anomalies
  • More efficient workforce thanks to effective information-driven, targeted maintenance
  • Targeted asset maintenance programs
  • Immediate payback, immediate ROI

In the 80’s time was money; in the 21st century information is success. Here is how two organizations could save 100’s of thousands of dollars each year using the IVS Reliability Suite. In both cases critical assets only were monitored.

See Two Cases Below:

Base Loaded Electric Utility Facility = $350k reduced costs per year

  • Reduction of 600 hrs/yr of data collection & analysis time (50hrs month) equals $10k/mth ($200 fully burden hourly rate) 120k/yr
  • Two anomalies detected on average ($100k per anomaly)
  • PDM time shifted from 'covered' critical assets to supporting/ redundant assets – one anomaly ($30k per anomaly)
  • Typical payback: 7 months
  • Return of your investment in less than one year

Load Following (Non-Baseloaded) Seasonal EAF Electric Utility Facility = $190k avoided costs

Calculation based on a reduced EAF operating season.

  • Reduction of 300 hrs of data collection & analysis time (50hrs month) equal to $10k/mth ($200 fully burden hourly rate)
  • One anomaly detected on average ($100k per anomaly)
  • PDM time shifted from 'covered' critical assets to supporting/ redundant assets – one anomaly ($30k per anomaly)
  • Typical payback: 11 months
  • Return of your investment in less than one year

In both cases savings estimates do not include the benefits due to the loss of generation or revenue value of $1MM/day or $1MM/shift for larger facilities, or the reduced thermography scan time due to the integrated bearing temperature monitoring.

Limitedless Computational and Analytical Capabilities

The IVS Reliability Suite harnesses the power of cloud computing to offer you real value.

The cloud-based server infrastructure thrives on intensive workloads, complex computations, and indepth analytical demands allowing IVS to offer the most robust asset management system possible.
