Orien's Asset Library enables assets to be shared between databases and servers. This function enables Orien to provide and showcase our internal asset library for your usage alongside providing users to manage their own libraries. Multiple libraries can be accessed from a single database or instance of Orien.
To access the Library follow these steps:
- Select your Database
- Select Library Option
- Select the Library you want to view
There are two sections within the Library - the Grid View and the Asset view. Below are details explaining how to use each section to view and download assets.
List View
The List View provides a grid of each asset available in that Library. The List View contains several filters to help you find the assets you want.
- Search - a general search option to find your wanted asset
- Make + Model - a unique list of all Makes and Models within the Library
- Location Category - a unique list of all Location Categories within the Library
- Full Data Grid filters - changing the Display Options to Full Data Grid enable multi-column filtering and more filtering options
Once you have found your wanted asset, select the Asset Row and then View Asset.
Asset View
The Asset View provides a detailed breakdown of the asset, combining both qualitative and quantitative metrics to verify if the asset is to your wanted standard.
No. Failure Modes: Gauge the number of potential fails of the asset. E.g. An unexpectedly high number could show duplication or over-maintenance of an asset.
No. Activities: Use this metric alongside the Failure Modes and Component metric to quickly evaluate the amount of data in the asset's Tactics.
No. Operations: Know how many Operations exist for this asset. A quick assessment of it's available PRTs for export.
This section contains 3 pie charts explaining the Qualitative metrics of the Component Replacement strategies.
Replacement Type: Identify the numbers of Operational Based vs Calendar Based replacements. Evaluate the split between the Asset type and your expected Replacement Strategies. For Mobile Equipment, 100% Calendar Based replacements should be evaluated as this is uncommon.
Replacement Resources: Identify the Budget-readiness of the strategies from the replacements. In general, component replacements should contain a material/part that represents the Component itself and the labour to conduct that replacement.
Replacement Cost: Identify the Budget-readiness of the replacements and if they are being accounted for in the Budget.
Repair Cost: Identify the Budget-readiness of the repairs and if they are being accounted for in the Budget.
Action Types: Identify the approach to maintenance and how the activities are used within the Failure Modes. Identify the breakdown of Preventative/Predictive Maintenance vs Corrective Activities. Use this metric alongside the Strategy Types to draw an accurate evaluation.
Strategy Types: Identify how the types of maintenance applied to prevent failures. For example, a critical piece of equipment containing a good amount of Condition Based Monitoring or Fault Find Interval Strategy Types is a good indicator.
This section contains 3 pie charts explaining the Qualitative metrics of the Asset's Packaging.
Resources: Planned Maintenance should have Labours allocated to them to produce Budget and FTE forecasts. These Labour allocations can also appear on the PRT Exports which can be vital for users and planners.
Activity Amount: This metric provides details as to how many Activities are allocated to each Operation. A complex asset with many components should have many activities allocated to each Operation. The more detailed the Activities are, the more activities there likely are on each Operation.
Beneath these cards, a 5 year forecast of the asset is provided. This shows the first 5 year budget based on the source Asset's Forecast details. These values are used as an indicator only as different sites and implementations will have different labour, material, and Operational Costs.
Importing an Asset
Once you have found an Asset that you want to import to your site simply do the following:
- Agree to the Terms and Conditions the the Top Left of the screen
- Select Import
- Select where you want the asset to be imported to
Orien will then automatically start the transfer process to the designated Location. Once transferred you may need to align the Asset Codes e.g. Materials and Labours to the designated site. This ensures that your material catalog and approved tactics remain unchanged.
Note
Libraries can have restricted permissions preventing Importing their Assets to a Database. If you have any questions about this process, contact Orien Support at support@orien.zendesk.com
