United Utilities is asking suppliers who have the ability and experience of delivering asset reliability to provide it with information about their capabilities ahead of going out to tender in August.
The water company is exploring how it can better understand the health and performance of its assets in near real time, which it sees as key to meeting some of its aspirations to improve asset reliability capability across the whole of its region during AMP7.
The utility is looking for suppliers who can provide an asset reliability approach which will enable capabilities such as condition based maintenance, root cause analysis, asset criticality application, asset health monitoring and asset lifecycle management to large asset intensive clients.
United Utilities is primarily interested in an enterprise level asset reliability platform that provides the collection, analysis, visualisation and integration of a variety of data sources including real-time asset performance and operational process data, asset condition, computerised maintenance management system data (e.g. SAP).
