Abstract:
The GPA - Asset Performance Management aims to improve the efficiency and reliability of maintenance operations, with the goal of maximizing equipment availability and lifespan, minimizing unscheduled downtime and reducing maintenance costs, through data standardization and centralization, process automation, online notifications, system integration, real-time and historical information visualization, calculation of key performance indicators, and prompt decision-making. To achieve this, HYDRO and RADIX formed a partnership to develop the solution, using Industry 4.0 technologies such as PIMS, SAP, Web API, OPC protocol, dashboards, and email. In addition, experts from various areas and technical teams focused on best practices for the tools used were part of the project. The results achieved were satisfactory, in addition to demonstrating scalability, robustness, and reliability. It was possible to avoid a million-dollar financial loss through the GPA, demonstrating that the tool's potential is not limited to productivity gains in day-to-day operations.
