An Installed Base Evaluation is much more than simply counting parts. It’s a thorough analysis of your critical plant assets and their condition. This service provides the knowledge needed to help you make data-driven decisions regarding the support and obsolescence management of your installed base assets. If you attempt a comprehensive hardware or software evaluation in-house, you may spend a year or longer just collecting data from a single facility. This can be a significant strain on resources, especially when expanded across multiple facilities. It also presents challenges in ensuring a standard methodology is used for collection. With the Rockwell Automation Installed Base Evaluation service, we collect this data and begin delivering actionable, insights-based reports to you in just weeks. An Installed Base Evaluation service can help support corporate-wide initiatives, such as:
- Identifying your most critical assets
- Reducing obsolescence risks
- Managing corporate storeroom and spare parts initiatives
- Ensuring all assets have up-to-date bills of material
For example, an organization can use the service to review its facilities for parts that are running business critical activities, have no spare parts, and also are discontinued. This can help create a corporate risk profile that highlights the highest risk for downtime at each site. The Enterprise Installed Base Evaluation can include a multi-site Software Inventory Evaluation or Installed Base Evaluation. An IBE analyzes critical plant assets to provide a full accounting and analysis of your IT and OT assets across the enterprise. An Enterprise IBE also can be customized based on factors such as top at-risk locations and top at-risk machines, or to focus on specific business units across multiple facilities.
