Higher education and research asset management tends to occur behind the scenes, but it’s an essential piece to keeping those facilities running.
Neglecting regular maintenance of university assets can diminish students' quality of life on campus and elevate safety risks, as oversight in areas such as building structures, electrical codes, and fire alarms may occur.
The Prometheus Platform enterprise asset management (EAM) suite is designed to help alleviate these issues for higher ed and research facilities, connecting processes and simplifying workflows with ease.
While school is in session, maintenance professionals must consider the operation of the university or research facility and how to fit maintenance into its schedule as seamlessly as possible. Other challenges higher education and research maintenance teams face include:
Maximize maintenance efficiency and control backlog with an advanced planning and scheduling solution. Mass change work orders, view weighted priorities effortlessly, and utilize GIS routing.
Improve your permitting and safety compliance and efficiency with Prometheus Environmental Health & Safety, which enables you to configure workflows to your safety processes to enforce standards and requirements.
Maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of your maintenance work management with the ability to update and manage information anywhere, online or offline, and remove the need for duplicate data entry.
Improve visibility into maintenance performance with personalized reports on core metrics like maintenance backlog, break-in work, preventative maintenance compliance, and more.
Increase the accuracy and efficiency of your organization’s maintenance processes by ensuring master data is standardized, cleansed, enriched, and sustained for improved data quality and management.
Enhance the efficiency and control of your facilities’ shutdowns and turnarounds with Prometheus STO Manager, which allows you to streamline STO planning, execution, and budgeting
Streamline your contractor management processes to increase utilization and decrease costs by efficiently handling contractor rates, time, skills, qualifications, and job bids.
Ensure capital projects are completed on time by streamlining portfolio management and construction commissioning and completion processes with centralized tracking, management, and visibility of project information.
Anticipate asset issues and prevent critical failures with Prometheus APM, a solution that helps you utilize large sensor data sets to create models that enable early issue detection, saving costs.
“[Prometheus Planning & Scheduling] speaks for itself. Once people start using it and they see how powerful and easy-to-use it is, they wonder how they ever lived without it. [It] has allowed us to have better dialogues and to get global buy-in throughout the university. Senior management has already seen the benefits. Now everyone is talking [about] Prometheus Scheduler. It’s the new buzzword for planning and scheduling. We're not just buying software. With Prometheus Scheduler, what we’re really getting is continuous improvement for our business processes, as well as a useful tool. ”
To achieve seamless and efficient asset management, higher education and research organizations need one source of truth. The Prometheus Platform integrates with enterprise resource planning (ERP), EAM, and computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) solutions like SAP, IBM Maximo, Oracle, and JD Edwards to make that possible.
Managing assets for higher education and research facilities requires a well-laid-out but flexible maintenance strategy. Learn how the Prometheus Suite can help you streamline and enforce your maintenance processes.
