A turnaround, shutdown maintenance (TAM) defined as a scheduled event where an entire process plant (Oil & Gas, Mining, Power Plant) or unit is shutdown for a set period of time to repair, inspect, maintain or revamp.

TAM is the largest single annual expense in an asset-intensive industry. These projects can consist of hundreds of different jobs, all of which must be executed within a tight schedule and strict budget.

To meet cost, duration and safety targets, preparation must be methodical; AiSpanner use emerging technology to address all these challenges. 

As important as they are to profitability, according to industry research organization TA Cook, 82% of turnarounds do not satisfy performance expectations with about half experiencing delays and 80% going over budget.

AiSpanner is a next-generation data-centric Turnaround Maintenance lifecycle application. Eliminating data silos, AiSpanner’s connected data-driven processes integrates workflows, stakeholders and data insights allowing you to plan, escalate and resolve work efficiently.

The purpose-built platform for all Turnaround stakeholders allows for consistent communication and information. By using advanced visualisation, a modern database, spatial intelligence, and a cloud solution to build maintenance intelligent twins, AiSpanner connects disparate data to plan, schedule, execute, visualise, analyse, and manage activities & risks associated with turnarounds. 

The solution has been developed with a dual human and data-centric approach, an intuitive interface for a connected workforce with an integrated environment. Multiple data sources: Static, Dynamic, Real-time and 3D datasets come together in a common spatial visual environment.

Using spatial and time-based visual analysis, AiSpanner can not only predict what will happen during the maintenance task, but why it will happen. Multiple scenarios can be readily developed and modelled in the AiSpanner application with numerous complex and interdependent factors.

Managing the required equipment, tools, parts, and materials is a significant challenge but effective management of the human resource in AiSpanner is a game-changer in turnaround performance. 

AiSpanner reduces costs while significantly improving efficiency, safety, collaboration, and communication between stakeholder to ensure the right work gets done, at the right time, with the right tools, materials, and people.
