Embrace the Future of Maintenance with Aetos Operate
September 14, 2023
While the general public admires the external appearance of large buildings, facility managers and those intimately connected with the built environment focus on the intricate workings within. Behind the scenes, facility and maintenance personnel diligently work to ensure seamless operations, unwavering system reliability, and the prolonged life cycle of assets within the structure. Inevitably, equipment errs and machinery malfunctions, leaving Facilities Managers (FMs) with the task of providing a solution for their assets and workers. Various systems are currently in place for troubleshooting and getting a facility operating at optimum performance. Organizations around the world are being asked to solve more complex problems with less support: like cutting energy use across a portfolio or training new staff without having enough critical data or operational clarity to execute. The Importance of Preventative Maintenance The age-old challenge of efficiently managing maintenance tasks while minimizing downtime persists. Again, organizations and their teams are asked to do more with less. Non-productive spans can be a significant variable in the overall equation of resource allocation and operational optimization. Preventative Maintenance (PM) involves regular, planned maintenance activities aimed at mitigating breakdowns and failures of equipment. The goal is to keep assets in optimum operating condition and extend their useful life. Effective PM aims to reduce the need for corrective maintenance and the costs associated with equipment downtime. In industries like healthcare, manufacturing, and commercial real estate, preventative maintenance can be crucial for not only sustaining operations but also ensuring safety and compliance with various regulations. The best FMs have strong, systematic strategies for effectively addressing and maintaining PM tasks. PM has become an essential part of facilities management; preventive maintenance should be viewed as both a standard operating procedure within the built environment, as well as treated as an investment in the equipment, systems, assets, and facilities that utilize PM. The All-Too-Common Obstacles of PM Several roadblocks and preconceived issues can hinder the successful implementation and execution of preventative maintenance. After discussing with multiple FMs regarding preventative maintenance challenges, here are the top impediments expressed: Lack of Comprehensive Data: Without detailed data on equipment history, usage patterns, and failure rates, it's challenging to develop a more predictive and effective PM schedule. Inadequate Resources: This can include a shortage of trained personnel, insufficient budget allocation for maintenance activities, or lack of necessary tools and equipment. Poor Communication: Inconsistent communication between departments or teams can yield missed maintenance schedules or overlapping tasks. Outdated Technology: Relying on outdated management systems or manual tracking can lead to inefficiencies, missed schedules, and increased chances of error. This makes FM jobs harder and more frustrating. Lack of Training: A huge problem on the horizon, yet already here throughout the built environment. Maintenance personnel need ongoing training on the latest equipment, technologies, and best practices to ensure they can carry out PM tasks effectively. Resistance to Change: Established organizations may resist adopting new technologies or methods, preferring to stick to traditional maintenance routines, even if they are less efficient, potentially to the detriment of their facility and equipment. Complexity of Modern Equipment: As equipment becomes more technologically advanced, the skills and knowledge required to maintain them also increase, making tasks more complex. Inconsistent Documentation: Without standardized documentation procedures, it can be challenging to ensure all personnel are working with the latest and most accurate information. Failure to Prioritize: Some business entities don't prioritize PM, seeing it as an unnecessary expense, until a significant breakdown occurs, which often results in higher costs in the long run. This could easily become a fatal flaw in operational efficiency. Reactive Mindset: A few FMs reported that their company waits for things to break before fixing them, rather than anticipating and preventing potential problems. It’s clear to see how this is problematic when managing any type and size of facility. Inventory Challenges: Not having the necessary replacement parts on hand can delay maintenance activities. Conversely, overstocking can tie up funds and result in waste if parts become obsolete. Regulatory and Compliance Issues: In some sectors, PM activities must comply with regulations. Keeping up with these regulations and ensuring compliance can be challenging to implement. Cost Concerns: Some management teams are hesitant to invest in PM because they see it as an upfront cost, not realizing the long-term savings from avoiding major breakdowns and extending equipment life. Many FMs know that investing in effective PM measures gives a company incredible ROI on equipment, energy-savings, and even retaining facility personnel. It’s clear to see how organizations struggle with tackling PM effectively. To try to solve these obstacles, FMs start to mix-and-match their softwares and systems, leading to a disparate assortment of tools and creating complexity rather than streamlining operations.

Transforming Industrial Operations with Site-Specific Training
August 24, 2023
Industrial facilities are the powerhouses of our economy. From factories churning out consumer goods to energy plants powering our cities, these are complex, dynamic environments where safety, proficiency, and innovation are vital. Alongside complexity, distinctive challenges arise. Providing efficient and effective guidance to new personnel becomes difficult (particularly when crucial institutional knowledge resides solely in the mind of the senior plant manager). Industrial facilities aim to perform in a streamlined fashion, but there is nuance and subtlety when operating technical equipment. With so much sophistication to capture – not to mention the size of a facility’s footprint – three-ring binders and outdated training videos are inadequate. What if there was a way to leverage technology for more visibility, better insight, enhanced safety, and superior operations? Aetos Imaging's Site-Specific Training is stepping into the breach, offering a transformative, 3D visualization solution for industrial facilities. “Safety First” One of the most significant aspects of Aetos Imaging's Site-Specific Training lies in its contribution to workplace safety. The saying "Safety First" holds particularly true in industrial settings where equipment is complex and potential risks are high. The ability to train and prepare in a risk-free, virtual environment significantly enhances safety measures in several ways. A virtual replica of the facility unlocks great opportunities. New hires and existing staff can leverage the Aetos Operate platform to become familiar with the layout of the facility, the placement of machinery and assets, and the location of safety equipment such as fire extinguishers, emergency exits, and first aid kits. The use of Site-Specific Training also allows for the safe simulation of potentially dangerous scenarios. Workers can practice emergency shutdowns, spill containment, evacuation plans, or hazardous materials handling in the virtual environment – and be assessed on their individual understanding. Lastly, the ability to conduct safety drills on the Aetos platform means these important exercises can be performed more frequently, without disrupting production schedules or daily operations. This can lead to quicker response times, better resource management, more efficient evacuations, and ultimately, safer work environments. Assess Personnel Understanding Beyond immersive learning and realistic simulation, the Site-Specific Training by Aetos Imaging also includes robust features for assessment and reporting. Each user's interaction with the virtual environment can be tracked and measured. Organizations can use this data to make more informed decisions about their workers, their training modules, and where gaps could be filled to promote better procedures. Managers can easily access these reports to gain insights into the skills and competencies of their team. Is a new hire showing mastery over a particular machine quickly? Are seasoned veterans consistently adhering to safety procedures during a virtual drill? When answering these kinds of questions, the platform empowers managers to make data-driven decisions about training and workforce development. These reports are digitally stored for long-term records, useful for both regulatory compliance and internal review. This not only ensures accountability, but it also forms a transparent basis for continual improvement. Aetos combines the power of 3D visualization with analytics, Aetos is setting new standards in training effectiveness and workforce readiness. Visualize an Entire Facility Industrial facilities are often sprawling complexes, stretching across acres of land and filled with a dizzying array of machinery, equipment, and infrastructure. The sheer scale and complexity of these environments can make training (and curriculum development) a daunting task. However, Aetos Imaging's Site-Specific Training presents a powerful solution to this challenge as we capture the entirety of a facility and present it in a digestible, interactive format. By creating a comprehensive 3D replica of an industrial facility, Aetos makes it possible to virtually traverse the entire complex without leaving your desk.

This ability to visualize and interact with the whole facility makes training more engaging, comprehensive, and effective. The Site-Specific Training feature on the Aetos platform ensures every nuance of a facility is captured and replicated in an interactive 3D model. This isn't just about a virtual tour of the factory floor – it's about providing workers with 3D visualization support in their specific workspace. Moreover, this approach can drastically reduce the time it takes to get a new hire up to speed. Traditional onboarding processes take weeks – sometimes months – as new hires are shown around the facility, introduced to various equipment, and walked through their tasks. Adopt and implement Site-Specific Training and new hires can immerse themselves in their work environment from day one, significantly reducing the learning curve with an enhanced onboarding process. Beyond training, this 3D model serves as an invaluable reference tool. Any time a worker needs to locate a piece of equipment, understand a process, or even find the nearest emergency exit, they can refer to the model. (Read more about how our Visual Asset Management feature is the comprehensive database you’ve been looking for.) Minimize Conjecture. Maximize Confidence Too often, on-site personnel rely on outdated binders and their own memory to perform a task. How often does a technician read a task on a clipboard and think, “I wish this would just show me which lever to turn.” When it comes to industrial settings, there’s no room for speculation and guesswork. With Aetos, we help organizations minimize conjecture and maximize confidence. Our most successful clients leverage our platform to deliver clarity and technical know-how to their workers – and some even use our platform for assisting their service providers. The ability to repeatedly interact with Site-Specific Training of the facility also means that personnel can become deeply familiar with their work environment.

Asset Management Innovation: Leveraging the Power of 3D Visualization
August 24, 2023
Vision and action are tightly bound together. In the built environment, sight is the most critical sense for technicians, engineers, and building personnel, who must see their surroundings and observe their equipment before they act. Operations and Facilities Managers (FMs) fulfill a multifaceted and demanding role, requiring them to juggle various tasks. Maintenance planning, equipment optimization, resource allocation, and safety protocols are just a few of the responsibilities they oversee. The key to their success in these roles is having a comprehensive understanding of all assets under their supervision. Top managers use data to make informed decisions, so traditional management methods involve color-coded spreadsheets and shelves of binders: a comprehensive way to hold meaningful information. (Some facilities don’t have any information written down and instead rely on one building professional’s brain alone – a precarious place to be as an organization.) But what if those spreadsheets could tell more of the story? What if those binders could give greater clarity without the scavenger hunt? What if facilities teams could see more than simply cataloged data points? That's where Aetos Imaging's Visual Asset Management feature comes in, acting as a game-changer in the field of operations and facilities maintenance. Better Clarity, Better Management First, let's really set the stage by discussing the traditional approach to asset supervision. Conventionally, managers use spreadsheets or dedicated software to track assets and their schedules. This approach provides crucial data such as location, status, maintenance records, and more. Teams also use binders and clipboard-and-pencil systems, along with the method where “one guy knows all”. However outdated or inefficient these practices are, they’re also disconnected from the real-world, physical context of the equipment (and the facility itself). These approaches are less intuitive and require greater training time investments in order for FMs to connect their data with real physical assets. Aetos' Visual Asset Management feature revolutionizes this approach by integrating a 3D virtual model of the facility with a comprehensive asset database (and more) for clearer visibility. This means that every piece of equipment, component, or infrastructure element is not just a row in a spreadsheet but a visually identifiable object within a digital replica of the facility. Practically speaking, this visual context greatly simplifies both understanding the building and operating it efficiently. By clicking on a specific asset in the 3D model, an FM can immediately access all its relevant information. This could include details like specifications, warranty information, historical maintenance records, upcoming maintenance schedules, and more. (Like, “integrating-IoT-live-network-component-readings” more.) It’s clear that having this information immediately accessible in a visual context saves time and eliminates the need for tedious cross-referencing (and the mistakes that can happen in the process). More Visibility, More Efficiency When a physical problem arises in the built environment, there may be multiple ways to get to a solution. And sometimes the simplest solution isn’t the easiest, or even the most efficient. The color-coded spreadsheet data and the shelves of binders can become the proverbial haystack preventing a technician from solving the problem. The Visual Asset Management feature from Aetos enables more effective planning for routine maintenance and rapid response to equipment breakdowns. A detailed digital twin of the facility allows FMs to identify the exact location of an asset needing attention, as well as tying explicit documentation and processes to the equipment at hand. Aetos lets organizations plan the most efficient service steps for maintenance personnel, whether the organization is using internal technicians or – more critically – third-party service providers. Further Use, Further Impact Lastly, Aetos' Visual Asset Management feature is not static. It's an interactive tool that can reflect equipment history, service notations, and a facility’s work order schedule – historical, live, or upcoming. A typical blueprint or CAD can’t simultaneously deliver site-specific visual renderings, as well as preventative maintenance procedures and history. Organizations accurately display their equipment and spaces within a photorealistic setting on the Aetos platform. As changes occur in the physical facility, the virtual model can be updated to reflect these changes, promoting clarity and confidence for team members. Without delving too deeply into the full array of features within Aetos, it’s worth noting that FMs can also use their visualized environment to do things like: augment site-specific training, cross-reference equipment across an entire portfolio of facilities, and even collaborate directly with vendors and team members within their digital scan. Visualize Your Operations In essence, the Visual Asset Management feature offered by Aetos brings an unprecedented level of visibility and control to Operations and Facilities Directors. It combines the detail of traditional asset management software with the intuitive understanding offered by a 3D representation of the actual facility. It’s more than just an innovative tool: it's a transformative approach to operations that is poised to redefine the industry standards.
