Breaking Ground in Asset Management: Current State Analysis

Asset management is often an overlooked key to operational efficiency. Amidst the hustle of day-to-day operations, it's easy for other priorities to overshadow the importance of a data-centric environment. However, investing in data integration for maintenance pays off handsomely in the long run. Neglected asset management can be seen through uncertain inventory records, increased downtime due to unexpected asset failures, increased maintenance costs, inefficiencies in resource allocation, and difficulties tracking asset lifecycles.

With proper asset management, organizations can reap the benefits of fully utilized assets, transparent and credible inventory records, and make informed decisions regarding maintenance schedules, replacements, and upgrades.

The first step in asset management is knowing what assets the site has, where these assets are located, and process in place to manage changes as space needs change. Datamura offers a solution through our Current State Analysis (CSA) full walk down service. CSA is designed to support Datamura's comprehensive asset tracking service and boasts an impressive average speed twice as fast as comparable walkdown services. Moreover, CSA delivers significantly more detailed asset information, ensuring a more thorough and efficient asset identification process.

Here's what Current State Analysis can do for you:

  • Twice as fast asset cataloging into a master asset list , reducing downtime and expediting data retrieval.

  • Includes several pictures of each asset associated directly with the asset's location, and other imperative data.

  • Offers fully customizable data entry fields tailored to your specific needs and equipment information.

  • Custom built search fields allow for tailored projects and site segmentation.

  • Intuitive search options to easily locate specific assets and their correlated data. 

  • Tailored project reports issued directly from CSA with a click of a button.

  • Easily download all data into any file type for easy upload into the site's existing organizational system, including CMMS/ERP systems.

Here's what a walkdown with Datamura looks like:

  • Enhanced our asset cataloging service, making it faster and more comprehensive.

  • Facilitated seamless asset transfer from our database to yours, supporting various file types for your convenience.

  • Eliminated the need for manual transcription of pen and paper field notes by enabling walkdown notes to be typed directly into the app during fieldwork.

  • Streamlined walkdown assignments for our team, providing clear projections of completion timelines for each site and project.

Restructuring the framework of the operation’s asset management framework is no easy feat, but having a robust and data-backed management structure will pay off in the long run-in terms of ease of maintenance, improve the accuracy of asset information, and the ability to incorporate asset management information into maintenance schedules.
