Technical Objects and Master Data in Asset Intensive Industries


Variety of technical objects in Linear Assetintensive industries

Typical technical objects in various industries: Substations, lines, transformer stations, transformers, circuits, poles, HV towers, switches, wells, pipelines, compressor/pump stations, pumps, valves, points, signals, signs, tracks, corridors, roads, manholes...

Technical objects can be classified in three groups :“point oriented” objects

transformers, stations, poles, HV towers, points, valves, lights, signals, pumps...“line oriented” objects

circuits, grids, sections, highways, streets, tracks, systems, pipes...“area oriented” objects

properties, fields, counties, right of ways, dams, forests...

Principles how to map into EAM application :Represent a physical model : “real world” objectsRepresent a logical model : connectivity, topology of a grid/network


Asset Management : Basic Elements

Structural components of a technical system are described in terms of Functional Locations.

Functional Locations are typically used for objects building up a system according to spatial, process-technical or functional criteria.Typical examples are: compressor station, pipeline, substation, transformer field, line, line section, corridor, street…

Individual components built into the structure of a technical system are administered as Equipments.

An equipment master record is typically used for an individual, physical object that is to be maintained as an autonomous unit.Typical examples are: transformer, switch, pole, emergency phone, pump, motor, valve…

Network like relationships between components of a technical system are maintained as Object Links between these components.

An object link is typically used to model a static connectivity in a grid or to represent alternative views on the structure of the technical system. Typical examples are: connectivity in HV grid, circuits, pipeline system…


Asset Management : Classification

Technical content is maintained using the open concept of classification and characteristics.

Flexible settings for the characteristics SI-units and standard formats are supportedInheritance of data along the object hierarchyValidation for data input ,

Search and retrieval functions for technical data/objects independent from asset hierarchies.

Objects are grouped and classified according to their technical nature and attributesSearch via catchwords, descriptions, values, ranges All type of technical objects can be classified

Administration of complex technical attributes is supported by the variant configuration.

Use of knowledge base and dependencies for characteristics and their valuationCustomer own tables for validation and defaulting of valuesExample: a certain type of transformer allows only certain values for the kVA range

Modeling Infrastructure using Linear Asset Management


Introduction

Linear Asset Management (LAM) provides functionality as part of SAP Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), which is especially designed to meet the requirements of linear asset maintenance. In asset-intensive industries such as Oil & Gas, Railways, Utilities, Mining and Public Sector, the utilization of traditional hierarchical structures of assets to represent their production or infrastructure networks is a complex and difficult process. The need to represent and model assets that extend for several kilometers (or miles) with changing characteristics and conditions requires modeling and management tools to provide the specific capabilities to support and manage these complex assets.

The first release of Linear Asset Management was shipped with SAP ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 5 (Innovations 2010). Please refer to the relevant documentation for this release.

With SAP ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 6 (Innovations 2011) new and enhanced functionality was shipped for LAM including:

Networks - Enhancement of networks with linear data fields and additional attributesNew Network GraphicNetwork List Reports – New reports for Functional Location Networks and Equipment NetworksObject Links - Enhancement of object links with linear data fields and additional attributesLinear Reference Pattern (LRP) – New LRP TypeCreation of Network Attributes and Dynamic Segmentation GraphicBusiness Intelligence (BI) Content


Linear Asset Management is part of SAP Enterprise Asset Management

SAP EAM supports organizations to efficiently and sustainably manage the whole lifecycle of physical assets* in terms of performance, risks, and expenditures to achieve and maintain the stated business objectives.[according to PAS 55, the standard for good practice in asset management]

Linear Asset Management – Different Asset Types

Different Asset Types:Roads – Markers e.g. mileposts/kilometre posts, lane, direction, offsets, bridges, tunnels, signs etc.Rail – Mile or chain markers, track number, offset, switch, crossings, signals etc.Pipeline – Kilometer Point, compressor stations, valves, pig stations etc.Transmission Lines – substations, traces

The linear aspect has to be reflected in:InspectionsConditionMaintenance and Repair

Linear Assets need to managed as a continuous asset with dynamic segmentation


Typical Attributes of a Linear Asset

A Linear Asset is a special type of asset which has an associated length dimension; this dimension is represented by means of starting and end points or by specifying the asset length.Linear Asset configuration has the complexity that components (or features) can change frequently along its length.Linear Assets are often connected with other linear assets to represent an infrastructure network or route.Linear Assets are subject to Dynamic Segmentation. Multiple sets of attributes can be associated with any portion of an existing linear feature independently of where it begins or ends.Linear Assets require a Linear Referencing Method as a mean to describe and locate a position along its length.Permanent referencing locations (Markers or Referencing Locations) plus offsets are used as reference to describe a position along the Linear Asset.Discrete or point assets can be located in any place along the Linear Asset.

Benefits of Linear Asset Management (1/4)

Function: Linear Reference Pattern (LRP)

The LRP gathers a sequence of reference points such as markers e.g. mileposts, technical objects or well-known locations that can be used for referencing objects and activities/events.

Benefits:Classic markers allow to represent mileposts in a very easy and simple way (no master data record needed)LRPs can be used to represent the backbone (lines, routes) of the linear networkLength can be defined independently by marker “official” location i.e. the short mile case can be managedLRP can be used as a powerful selection criteria in reports

Function: Linear Data Fields (LDF)

The LDF are a set of additional standard fields that can be activated on all the main PM objects. They allow to locate a point or a linear segment and assign different offset types.

Benefits:Technical objects can be enriched with their linear features to represent their position within a network being either discrete (point) objects or continuous. Objects can be located and related by means of their position. LAM enables leaner and more streamlined asset models i.e. reduce master dataRepair and maintenance activities can be planned, executed and recorded with their own linear references.Asset conditions, captured by quantitative/qualitative measurements and inspections can be captured by means of measuring points/measurement documents with linear references to a given point or linear segment.



Function: List Report Enhancements

All the standard List, Multi-level List reports and Structure reports have been enriched with linear features in the selection and output displays.

Benefits:

By means of the enhanced lists, it is possible to extract from the system objects and documents that are within a given segment of the networkThe mass changes function on technical object list ensure time saving and user friendliness. Also, the mass changes by “increment” allows to shift forward/backward all the selected objects of a given amount in lengthGraphical representation in the multi-level list display graphically the network, characteristics and events over a given period of time “at a glance” and with linear references

Function: Linear enablement of characteristics for technical objects:

For linear assets the valuation of characteristics has been enhanced with the Linear Data Fields.

Benefits:

Variation of technical characteristics “alongside” the objects can be easily managed.There is no need to split the technical object into two or more following the “homogeneity” criteria.



Function: Networks and Object Links

The Network and Object Links have been enhanced with the Linear Data Fields as well as additional attributes relevant for modeling networks.

Benefits:

New attributes for Networks allow networks to be grouped and to differentiate by type.New list reports enable search by network group and/or type and to filter by a given segment of the network.Graphical representation in the multi-level list display enables graphic visualization of the network and associated objects like object links, network attributes, technical objects etc.

Function: Network Attributes

Network Attributes allow you to enter additional information on object networks by recording attribute properties and values. For example, you can record properties such as the installation year or the material type for the rails and ties of a railway network.

Benefits:It is now possible to join attributes together to form one consolidated attribute.The graphical display (dynamic segmentation) shows the current configuration of the network attributes.



Function: BI Content

The BI Content for Plant Maintenance has been enhanced with Linear information

Benefits:

New query for Costs per Length and Number of Defects per Length allow easy identification of problem areas on the linear asset

Function: Enterprise Services

The enterprise (SOA) services for the main objects have been enhanced with linear data information.

Benefits:Enterprise Services allow external systems e.g. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to communicate with the SAP ERP system


The Linear Data Fields in Technical Asset Master Data

Both functional locations and equipment can be linear assets. The customizing of the category will indicate that functional locations and equipments are linear assets.

For these LAM categories the Linear Data Fields can be maintained in the master data in a separate tab (subject to customizing).

If point-oriented (discrete) assets are managed within LAM e.g. posts, road signs it is only necessary to maintain the start point.

For linear objects the length maintained is not checked against the difference between starting and end point. There are several cases that this data does not coincide e.g. so called “short miles”

The Linear Data Fields in Classes and Characteristics

For linear assets the valuation of characteristics has been enhanced with the Linear Data Fields. The characteristic allows a multiple valuation so that each value can be limited in location and extension.

Examples:

Speed limit: t1 from x1 to y1t2 from x2 to y2

hardness: h3 from x3 to y3h4 from x4 to y4
