Asset Management Portal
Your plant, your assets and their records - connected in one secure visual environment.
Industrial facilities generate significant volumes of information throughout their design, construction, operation and maintenance.
Drawings, P&IDs, equipment datasheets, inspection reports, maintenance records and vendor documents may be stored across multiple folders, platforms and historic project files.
Although the information exists, locating the correct record for a particular item of equipment can be unnecessarily difficult and time-consuming.
DMD Design Solutions has developed a model-based Asset Management Portal that connects this information directly to the equipment it relates to.
Find the Asset. Access the Information.
The portal uses an interactive 3D model as a visual interface to the client’s plant and asset records.
Users can navigate through the facility, identify a particular item of equipment and select it directly within the model. The documents associated with that asset are then displayed in a dedicated information panel and can be opened at the click of a button.
This creates a direct connection between the physical location of an asset and the engineering, operational and maintenance information held against it.
How It Works
Explore the plant
Navigate through an accessible 3D representation of the facility, production area or system.
Select an assett
Choose a pump, vessel, filter, valve, instrument or other modelled item of equipment.
View its records
Immediately see the drawings, reports and documents associated with the selected asset.
Open the information
Access the required record directly from the portal without searching through extensive folder structures.
One Location for Asset Information
The portal can bring together a wide range of asset information, including:
• P&IDs and process information
• General arrangement and fabrication drawings
• Equipment and instrument datasheets
• Vendor documentation
• Operating and maintenance manuals
• Inspection and condition reports
• Installation and commissioning records
• Preventive maintenance schedules
• Test and calibration certificates
• Material certification
• Warranty information
• Recommended spare-parts lists
• Technical reports and calculations
• Survey information and photographs
• Modification and replacement records
The information held against each asset can be tailored to the client’s operational requirements and the documentation available.
Information in Its Proper Context
A traditional document-management system can tell a user that a drawing or report exists.
The DMD Asset Management Portal also shows where the subject asset is located and how it relates to the surrounding plant.
This visual context can be particularly useful when preparing maintenance activities, investigating operational problems, planning plant modifications or familiarising personnel with an unfamiliar area.
Instead of relying solely on equipment numbers, document titles or inherited folder structures, users can find information by starting with the asset itself.
Supporting the Complete Asset Lifecycle
The portal can provide value from initial project handover through to ongoing operation, inspection, maintenance and future modification.
During handover, project documentation can be organised against the relevant equipment rather than delivered only as a large collection of unrelated files.
During operation, additional information can be incorporated as assets are inspected, maintained, repaired, modified or replaced. This helps the information environment continue to reflect the facility and supports a more structured approach to asset knowledge.
Potential applications include:
• Project and facility handover
• Planned and reactive maintenance
• Inspection preparation
• Asset familiarisation and training
• Engineering investigations
• Plant modifications and brownfield projects
• Equipment replacement
• Technical assurance
• Contractor information access
• Long-term asset record management
Developed Around Your Facility
Every industrial site has different assets, information structures and operational priorities.
DMD can configure the portal around an individual project, process area, production line, utility system or complete facility. The system can therefore be introduced at a manageable
scale and expanded as additional assets and information become available.
Where an accurate 3D model does not already exist, DMD can combine laser scanning, existing engineering information and intelligent 3D modelling to establish the visual foundation for the portal.
This creates a connected workflow from existing-condition capture and engineering design through to long-term asset information management.
Secure, Controlled Access
The Asset Management Portal is a private environment and is not accessible to the general public.
Access is restricted to approved users through authenticated, password-protected accounts.
This allows relevant client personnel and authorised stakeholders to access the information they require while helping protect sensitive plant, engineering and operational data.
User access can be controlled and withdrawn when it is no longer required, helping the client retain oversight of who is able to view its asset information.
More Than Digital Document Storage
The DMD Asset Management Portal is not simply another online folder.
It provides a visual connection between the plant, its individual assets and the information required to understand, operate, inspect, maintain and modify them.
By making asset information easier to locate and easier to understand, the portal helps turn disconnected project records into a practical operational resource.
Build a Better Asset Information Environment
Whether the requirement involves the handover of a new project, the organisation of an existing facility’s records or the creation of a model-based information system from the ground up, DMD can develop an approach suited to the client’s assets and priorities.
