The SKF @ptitude Decision Support systemSKF @ptitude Decision Support is an embedded knowledge-based system that automatically analyzes asset health data, identifies symptoms and faults, then notifies a user of the specific nature of the problem, its severity priority and recommended actions.

SKF @ptitude Decision Support application interfaces

Computerized Maintenance Management System interfaces

A Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) interface allows for work request generation and work order history tracking for correlation with asset health and performance. By providing a connection to the CMMS, @ptitude Decision Support transforms the raw data into information and actions. @ptitude Decision Support can interface with CMMS such as:

SAP• Maximo• API Pro• Engica• and others• CMMS – @ptitude Decision Support will also generate work order requests within a

Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).

Data provider interfaces

A data provider interface is a data mining engine that extracts key features from vibration data in condition monitoring systems to identify symptoms. Symptoms are sent to @ptitude Decision Support to be combined with symptoms from other data providers and resolved into faults. @ptitude Decision Support offers a wide selection of system interfaces:

Condition monitoring systems such as SKF @ptitude • Monitoring Suite as well as third party systems.Process control systems using OPC.• Data historians.• Other plant systems via an open ASCII file interface.• User entered data.•

The @ptitude Decision Support system incorporates today’s most advanced technologies to integrate data from multiple sources into an easy-to-use application that enables workers to apply decision-making criteria quickly and uniformly, based on meaningful data and a pre-determined set of procedures and priorities.

NOTE 1: These requirements apply to SKF @ptitude Decision Support complete with database management system. Other applications running simultaneously may degrade performance.

NOTE 2: These requirements ONLY apply to SKF @ptitude Decision Support complete with database management system. Additional storage disk space is required for data.

NOTE 3: The major benefits of spreading Oracle across three or more hard disks at the server is the improved speed, and improved recoverability of a previously archived database. The recommended five disk configuration provides the optimal protection for backup, recovery, indexing, and speed. Disk/file configuration should ONLY be handled by a SKF Field Service Technician certified on SKF @ptitude Analyst. If using RAID, the combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1 is recommended over RAID 5.

NOTICE: If running other versions of Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, or other database management system are expected to run in the same PC environment, please contact your local SKF Representative to inquire about compatibility.

Spectrum Data –@ptitude Decision Support uses vibration diagnostic rules configured by SKF or you, to analyze data from SKF @ptitude Monitoring Suite or other third party condition monitoring softwares.

Transformingdata into action @ptitude Decision

Support – Once identified, the appropriate symptom is sent to the @ptitude Decision Support software module. Here it is processed by Asset Knowledge Science (AKS) to be resolved into faults for user notification.

Asset Knowledge Science (AKS) is a core component of the @ptitude Decision Support system solution and is the fundamental concept of how knowledge is stored within @ptitude Decision Support. AKS combines process and inspection data, performance parameters, and Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s). AKS goes beyond traditional models like Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Fault Tree Analysis, Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM), and others. It provides a methodology that embodies a fundamental understanding of the predominant failure modes of equipment, the measurements required to effectively monitor equipment health, and the consequences of failure.

To enable customization of the Asset Knowledge Science with the end user’s own Intellectual Capital, @ptitude Decision Support offers an editor. This editor allows authorized users to make changes at any level in the AKS hierarchy, which includes rules and detection levels.

SKF @ptitude Decision Support

Managing knowledge to optimize asset efficiencyThe SKF @ptitude Decision Support system enhances your team’s ability to keep plant machinery up and running. It systematizes the reliability maintenance decision-making process by automatically identifying probable faults with an asset or process, then prescribing appropriate action, and enabling a consistent methodology among employees throughout your local or global organization.

@ptitude enables your workforce to rapidly determine:

What is the problem?• How serious is it?• What should be done about it – priority?• What are the potential risks to • productivity, quality, worker safety and the environment?

Users benefit from the power of the @ptitude Decision Support solution

Optimize asset efficiency.• Users maintain a continuous awareness –of machine health enabling a proactive approach to reliability maintenance.
