How you can utilise Effio™ to revolutionise asset performance management:
Efficiently digitalise key equipment data
Utilise electronic tag extraction functionalities to build or update your asset register directly from your engineering drawings.
Build and maintain an accurate asset register
Ensure key equipment data points you need to manage your asset management strategy are available and built into a logical functional location hierarchy to manage big data effectively.
Continuously align your investment with your risk profile
Utilise the built-in criticality assessment matrix to automate criticality assignment to determine optimal maintenance, integrity, and sparing strategies backed up by an auditable decision log.
Deploy best-in-class maintenance strategies
Utilise the in-built maintenance strategy library or load your own maintenance strategies to ensure maintenance is applied consistently to ensure you have access to best-practice maintenance procedures at your fingertips.
Ensure you have the right spares available for maintenance
Build and update inventory data to ensure your equipment and maintenance tasks are associated with the correct parts with the correct information to avoid delays in maintenance, cut costs and avoid downtime.
Deploy a fully optimised maintenance schedule
Implement a highly efficient maintenance management regime to ensure work order generation is aligned with your work execution capacity to maximise efficiency, productivity, and safety.
Continuously improve your asset performance
Optimise performance through built-in analysis and benchmarking capability to determine opportunities to enhance your strategy and cascade changes to your strategy consistently across your organisation.
Load data and strategies to your CMMS or EAM
Effio™ is compatible with any CMMS or EAM and will generate zero-error upload files containing new, updated, or improved asset management strategies and data, inclusive of their data interdependencies, with ease.
News
Shell targets asset management efficiencies across new projects using Effio
Shell has contracted ABL’s specialist master data build and optimisation software – Effio, to support a number of its large-scale newbuild projects, so far delivering time savings by 50%.
“We recently used Effio™ to build and deploy a maintenance management regime for a new build FPSO.
When compared with previous traditional spreadsheet-based methods, Effio™ ensured the build process was more transparent, time-efficient, and controlled through the built-in automation for criticality assignment, maintenance allocation, and load file generation, and the ability to have all data stored and connected in one location enabled the approval process with the technical authorities to be more seamless and informed.
Effio™ has a lot of helpful features, but one that makes it stand out is the degree of customisation that the user can impose in terms of visualising the data. This allowed us to save custom views, which made reviewing the data more intuitive and QA activities more efficient.”

Challenges associated with traditional asset management strategy deployment techniques:
Risky, labour-intensive and time-consuming
Without access to software like Effio™, building your asset management data and strategies in traditional siloed Excel spreadsheets or directly in a live system is an extremely risky, labour-intensive and inefficient way of working
A lack of control over management of change
Traditional methods for building and updating master data and strategies tend to have limited functionality over control of changes and audit logs, causing critical decisions to be made without the appropriate control barriers in place to ensure these decisions are in the best interests of the plant performance management
Unconnected data points required to make informed decisions
Without clarity on data interdependencies and links, it is impossible to make quality economically advantageous and safety-driven decisions with confidence and this is proven to lead to inefficiencies, excess costs, and rework later on
Disjointed ways of working
It is common for data, processes, strategies, and work execution tactics to differ dramatically within a business. Without a centralised approach to asset management, companies experience reduced performance, poor reliability, and more unproductive time
Siloed libraries and systems
Critical strategies, data and documentation can often be hidden across spreadsheets, in filing cabinets and on desktops causing loss of critical information, lack of accessibility, wasted time and a lack of assurance that the plant is being maintained to the required standard
Data inconsistencies and lack of standardisation
Without proper QA/QC procedures in place aligned to your corporate data standard, it can be difficult to assure compliance with this, causing issues later on when it comes to ordering spare parts, analysing equipment data, assigning maintenance tasks, etc
How Effio™ functionalities will help:
Comply with your own data standards and QA/QC requirements
Integrated and mandatory QA/QC procedures are built in as standard and assure alignment with client data standards and assurance of master data consistency
Visualise data interdependencies
Ensure the technical authorities who are making decisions and approving strategies can visualise, understand, and appreciate what impact their decisions have on the overall asset management strategy and the company’s operational expenditure
Achieve controlled Management of Change (MoC)
An auditable process for master data, strategy, and execution changes, in combination with built in workshop environments allow for efficient approval processes that enables decisions to be made efficiently and effectively
Unlock time and cost efficiencies
Effio™ enables master data changes to be made at “equipment ID” level and cascaded efficiently across the business, minimising the time required to make master data updates, saving up to 30% on time and cost required to build and update master data
Work collaboratively and efficiently in one system
Enabling information to flow effectively between departments by providing each user with a unique login ID and permission levels will provide a collaborative and controlled platform for deployment of your asset management strategy, and will help assure ownership when the strategy is implemented
Assure proactiveness and reduce project admin time
Automated project progress KPI’s and reporting are built in as standard to provide clear and instant indications of bottlenecks and project blockers supporting the transformation from reactive to proactive project management of asset management strategy deployment

“Plant reliability is one of the most noticeable outputs of this project; not only are we setting record reliability statistics, but we are achieving this with optimised levels of maintenance, done at the right time, in a globally consistent manner.”
