Do you need to manage and integrate data across the entire design, build, operate and maintain cycle for your new or refurbished generation facility? Are you concerned about managing your supply chain effectively? As you build a new plant or upgrade your older plants with new technology, the intelligent plant lifecycle management solution from IBM can help you leverage powerful information to optimize construction and operations. Prepare your plant to be capable of benefiting from data-intensive advanced computing and simulation.
Use data to light your way to success
Our intelligent plant lifecycle management solution can help enable "input once, use many times" capability for plant design data. We can provide infrastructure that supports the use of a common data model to standardize design and build data used by operations and maintenance processes. Designed for asset intensive operations, intelligent plant lifecycle management can help:
- Support licensing and re-licensing processes for plants, especially nuclear
- Manage the supply chain to optimize sourcing costs and schedules
- Optimize design standards and specifications to manage risk during the bid, design and construction processes
- Make better use of data—critical to optimal plant management
- Bring documentation up to date and keep it updated so "as-built" and "as-is" match
- Help ensure reporting includes the most recent and valid data to maintain compliance and relationships with regulators
- Better maintain and operate costly equipment to get the most from your asset investments
- Prepare data to be used in advanced simulation to help reduce the risk and downtime associated with plant operations
