Maturity Modelling and APM Strategies
To assess the maturity level of HRES and HVAC&R systems for deploying an Asset Performance Management (APM) system, the grading process involves a comprehensive evaluation based on several key criteria, each representing a different maturity stage. First, we begin with a thorough assessment of the existing infrastructure, focusing on the current state of asset monitoring, maintenance practices, and data availability. The process is divided into stages, from the basic level where the systems are primarily reactive and lack real-time monitoring, to more advanced stages where predictive maintenance, advanced data analytics, and integration with building management systems are already in place.
Key steps include evaluating system reliability, energy efficiency, data collection methods, and the integration of IoT sensors. We then grade the systems across these dimensions—ranging from low maturity (manual monitoring and reactive maintenance) to high maturity (automated, data-driven decision-making, and proactive maintenance). The final stage involves defining actionable improvement areas based on the system’s current capabilities, with clear recommendations for enhancing monitoring, predictive analytics, and integration, guiding the deployment of the APM system for optimized asset performance.
