A Guide to Mobile Enterprise Asset Management (MEAM)

All industries rely on buildings, machinery, and equipment in today’s fast-paced commercial world. Uptime, downtime, and operational performance depend on asset management. In this case, MEAM can aid.

What is the MEAM acronym for Mobile Enterprise Asset Management?

The technique known as MEAM involves extending the capabilities of standard Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) by utilising mobile devices and applications. Better decision-making and enhanced asset performance are the end results of streamlining maintenance procedures and providing your staff with instant access to vital asset data.

A World of Difference Between Traditional and Mobile EAM

While they work well, traditional EAM systems frequently have drawbacks. Field technicians and maintenance staff that are continuously on the go find it difficult to access desktop-based interfaces. Older information, communication breakdowns between field and office workers, and delays in data entry can result from this.

By focusing on mobile first, Mobile Enterprise Asset Management closes this gap. Technicians have access to the following via intuitive applications on smartphones and tablets:

Asset information: Detailed information about every asset, including specs, warranties, maintenance records, and manuals.

Work orders: Currently assigned work orders with comprehensive instructions, part lists, and safety precautions are updated in real time.

Inventory management: Obtaining information on the amount of spare parts in stock, enabling on-site part requisition, and cutting downtime caused by parts shortages.

Programmes for preventive maintenance: programmes for preventative maintenance that are up to date to guarantee prompt servicing and avoid equipment problems.

Ability to record audio, video, and photographs in order to gather data that will help with troubleshooting and maintenance reports.

Why Mobile Enterprise Asset Management Is Beneficial

There are several broad and significant benefits of implementing Mobile Enterprise Asset Management. These are a few main advantages:

Efficiency Gains: Maintenance chores are completed more quickly when workers have mobile access to data and work orders. No need for needless journeys back to the office or delays in communication technicians can get all the information they need right there on the spot.

Increased Data Quality: Accurate and current data on asset health, maintenance history, and inventory levels are ensured by real-time data capturing via mobile apps. This removes the need for clumsy, inconsistent paper-based systems.

Improved Cooperation and Communication: Field specialists, maintenance crews, and management can communicate more easily and effectively thanks to Mobile Enterprise Asset Management. Rapid problem-solving and improved teamwork are made possible by the ability to quickly report issues, rapidly clarify instructions, and communicate real-time updates.

Decreased Downtime: Mobile Enterprise Asset Management helps reduce equipment downtime by enabling proactive maintenance through preventative maintenance programmes and early detection of possible problems. This results in lower expenses for unforeseen repairs and more production.

Real-time asset data helps managers allocate resources, plan maintenance, and manage asset lifecycles. Data-driven insights improve predictive maintenance, repair prioritisation, and asset longevity.

Added Benefits of MEAM Apart from Efficiency

Beyond only increasing productivity, Mobile Enterprise Asset Management has many advantages. The following are some further benefits:

Enhanced Job happiness: Technicians may work more autonomously and effectively with the use of mobile tools, which boosts morale and increases job happiness.

Enhanced Regulatory Compliance: MEAM can assist businesses in keeping thorough and accurate maintenance records, which will make it easier to comply with safety requirements and industry rules.

Decreased Paperwork: By removing the need for paper forms and streamlining data collection, Mobile Enterprise Asset Management lowers administrative costs and encourages more environmentally friendly operations.

Important Things to Think About When Putting MEAM Into Practice

Mobile Enterprise Asset Management has a lot to offer, but putting it into practice successfully takes thought and preparation. Some important things to consider are as follows:

Choose mobile devices that are safe, resilient, and able to survive the rigours of field work. Think about things like connectivity options, screen size, and battery life.

Make sure the Mobile Enterprise Asset Management app provides work order administration, data collection, and reporting functions your firm needs.

UI and UX should allow users to simply navigate the app’s clean and easy-to-use interface. In order to guarantee that technicians feel comfortable using the mobile tools, a great user experience is necessary to support uptake.

Data Protection: To prevent unauthorised access or security breaches, give priority to strong security measures protecting sensitive asset data.

The MEAM solution that you have selected should have no trouble integrating with both your current EAM system and any other pertinent corporate apps. In addition to preventing the need for human data entry, this guarantees data consistency.

Training and Assistance: Give your employees thorough instruction so they can utilise the Mobile Enterprise Asset Management app efficiently. Regular assistance guarantees a seamless adoption and provides

What is an EAM?

Enterprise Asset Management, or EAM, is a complete strategy to managing the physical asset lifetime of an organisation. This covers everything, including buildings, cars, infrastructure, and machinery and equipment.

Better procurement, mobility, and EAM integration in operations and maintenance

Accept asset data accessibility and real-time technician mobility

Mobile digital field processes: Remove travel, double entry, inefficient stages, and waiting times related to paper-based processes.

Instant information: By directly accessing maintenance records, instructions, and schematics on mobile devices, technicians may reduce downtime and accelerate answers.

Integration that is seamless: EAM systems are coupled with real-time procurement data and status updates, guaranteeing that vital information is always accessible.

Connect the EAM to the purchasing procedures

Automated triggers: An integrated EAM will automatically start the process of acquiring the necessary components when a machine breaks down, preventing delays brought on by human procedures.

Procurement efficiency: All aspects of the process, from order placing to requisition, are totally automated, saving time and minimising administrative work.

Put sophisticated workflow automation into practice

Simplified issue tracking: Ensuring that no stages are overlooked and that progress is ongoing is possible through the automated logging of issues, notification of technicians, and tracking of resolutions inside EAM.

Faster procurement: Automated workflows expedite the ordering of parts and minimise errors caused by manual entry, which is essential during unplanned outages.

Utilize data to support decisions

Judgements that are well-informed: EAM systems let technicians make prompt, well-informed judgements by providing analytics and historical data on machine performance.

Simplified ordering: Technicians can rapidly identify and order necessary components with the use of itemised pick lists and detailed parts diagrams.

Improve assistance through remote diagnostics

Remote assistance: To assist personnel in doing intricate repairs remotely, modern EAM incorporates augmented reality (AR) support and remote diagnostics.

Effective delivery: By closely collaborating with suppliers, procurement procedures must guarantee the prompt and effective delivery of necessary parts.

BYOD vs BYOB – the unassailable contrast of two very simple concepts

The vast majority of us, those who partake of a wee dram every now and again, are quite familiar with the ever so disappointing invitation of “BYOB” (aka: bring your own booze, bring your own beer, bring your own bottle, and so forth). So infrequent is the alternative that it is now simply a given that if you turn up at the party, you better be packing some personals. More and more we’re taking our bottles out to eat as well. The same, however, cannot be said of BYOB’s more distant and serious sociological cousin – BYOD : bring your own device.

Whereas your heart of hearts may sink at the thought of meandering the glorious halls of the latest and greatest fine wine or craft beer section, just to know that someone has clearly thwarted the spirit of the invite and will be oversampling your chosen beverages, BYOD is – at least for those of us with limited pocket space and/or patience for learning new operating systems – the sweet sound of work freedom. Not only do we not need to lug around yet another device (sandwiched between our tablets, laptops, and other “necessities” of modern living), we get it on our favorite tool of personal time-sinkage.

“Bring your own device” has, however, some serious drawbacks. Unless you’re company is just awash with cash with nowhere to spend it and has purchased the James Bond-ish Blackphone for everyone with corporate access, chances are you’re due for some security solutions – and even then you would still need a cross-device solution. For one, your IT guys now despise you even a little more than they did this morning when you told them you’d managed to download a seemingly innocent new time management application on the office computer – that breath you heard on the other end of the phone is a desire for your fingers to be replaced with remotely operated appendages only they control. Now they have to worry about how well you respect and protect your own device – especially considering the rising rate of mobile thefts.

Luckily, answers exist. If you’re lucky, your IT department has already begged and acquired your boss’s permission to use a service that is used to BYOD issues – most of this is usually wrapped up into what’s called Enterprise Mobility Solutions, or Mobile Device Management software. You could save some cash and go for some free open source alternatives; however, given the inherent conflicts of interest and the lack of operational control (not to mention the need to synchronize standards across employee mobile devices) the best bet is to go with professionals. If for nothing else, at least you’ll have a customer service rep between you and the product – anyone who’s dealt with an in-house IT tech purposing out BYOD solutions will appreciate the headache you’ll save them from.

Aviate Alpha for Android

Published on 10-10-2013 08:00 AM by acurrie

One of the things that makes Android very different from iOS is the availability of home screen widgets. From what I've seen iOS is largely modal -- that is, designed to keep you focused on one thing at any given time. Android widgets, on the other hand, allow you see data from multiple apps at once. It's a lot like GNOME vs. KDE on desktop Linux. Anyone? No? Fine... Aviate Alpha for Android is a launcher that takes the idea of widgets to the next level, updating your home screen with relevant information depending on the time of day, your location and what it thinks you're doing. It's an ambitious idea; let's see if it works... Aviate has four screens; this is the main one. You can choose a light or dark theme, add a photo from your gallery -- or, if you'd rather, a more traditional widget -- and 10 shortcuts to your most often-used apps. Swipe to the right and you'll see some more of your apps, organized into collections. It's important to note that this is already done for you when you first launch Aviate, and the categorization is impressively accurate. Oh, and if you don't like where something is you can easily move and/or delete it. At the bottom of that screen is a button that will take you here, showing all of Aviate's available collections. You can choose to show or hide any or all of them. Swipe to the right once more and you'll see all of your apps, organized from A-Z. That strip down the right side of the screen enables you to jump directly to apps that start with any particular letter of the alphabet. This in itself is really handy. Now we get to the contextual stuff... When you swipe to the left from the main screen you'll see something called "Spaces". Tap on any of the first four icons and the header of your main screen will change. The other two options are to help you ascertain your location. There's some fairly deep integration with Foursquare and other location-based services here, but it could be better -- I was indeed near a place called Manpuku when I grabbed this screen but closer, in fact, to other venues where I've checked in more often. We'll now cut back to earlier that morning to see what can happen to the header on Aviate's main screen. It's actually a drop-down menu that, in this case, shows an upcoming appointment along with even more shortcuts to apps I might want to use at this specific time of day. Like any other shortcuts they can be edited and/or deleted as you see fit. Aviate will even go so far as to suggest apps relevant to the "space" that you're currently in. Clicking on the addbutton above will take you directly to the appropriate listing in the Google Play Store. I've been using Aviate for a week now and it's a keeper. The location-based features need a bit of work but are certainly usable in their current form. Even without them Aviate is a good-looking, intuitive launcher that doesn't seem to affect battery life in any negligible way. Though available on the Play Store Aviate is currently in a closed beta, so you'll need to register here and wait for an activation code. It's worth it.
