Plant life cycle data management
Manage your plant data with TÜV SÜD’s data management system (DAMAS).What is plant life cycle data management?
Industrial plant life cycle data management is the process of managing the data and information of an industrial plant throughout all stages of its life cycle. This data includes test results, inspection cycles, compliance documents and many others. You should ideally link these with one another. That will help you access necessary information to improve plant reliability and performance and reduce downtime.
Why plant life cycle data management is important
To meet safety standards for the technical systems in industrial plants, you must conduct safety tests and inspections. Following that, you need to provide proof of technical compliance. You should also ensure timely scheduling, professional handling and precise documentation of every test and inspection. This is true whether or not regulations require it.
A data management system stores all plant safety and quality data properly and securely throughout its lifetime. This helps you prove your plant’s technical compliance. It also lets you utilise the data to optimise your operations.
How TÜV SÜD can help you with plant life cycle data management
TÜV SÜD carries out all the required tests you need to demonstrate safety, quality, and compliance with regulations. This helps you stay compliant whichever market you are in.
In addition to conducting tests, we provide a secure, sophisticated SAP® web-based data management system (DAMAS). DAMAS maps out the complete inspection and life cycle of equipment and systems. This helps you view all relevant data and information at one glance.
DAMAS helps increase plant availability by providing access to current object data, statistical evaluations and equipment optimisation recommendations. It achieves this through condition-based, time-based, or risk-oriented maintenance strategies.
With decades of experience in data management and technical knowledge, TÜV SÜD can provide an overview of all legally-relevant and custom test specifications. DAMAS has over 250,000 registered test objects, strengthening our ability to provide valuable information pertaining to industrial plant life cycle management.
