VCESage™ is a collection of modules providing an easy-to-use computerized design/analysis resource consistent with the new API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 standard. The modules enable users to review and/or analyze existing and new equipment for structural integrity, code compliance, re-rating and remaining life evaluations.

VCEDamage Mechanisms™ is a quick reference guide to identify the potential damage mechanisms that can cause equipment failure. It guides users through the damage mechanism identification process, helps in selecting the best inspection method for each damage type, and provides simplified Process Flow Diagrams showing where damage will likely occur.

VCEIntelliJoint™ offers a total solution to bolted joint leakage with the latest advanced bolted joint technology, including assembly procedures and gasket test results. The program provides industry best practice gasket specifications and incorporates knowledge in areas required to effectively identify the root cause of a leakage problem.

Meridium APM– Meridium’s APM enterprise solution delivers reliability software and a work process that: leverages critical asset performance data from enterprise and local sources (ERP, CMMS, DCS, and other discrete systems), publishes key performance indicators enabling identification of improvement opportunities, automates technical data analysis to identify and predict failure occurrence and cause, supports continuous improvement of operational, surveillance, maintenance and design strategies based upon best practices, operational history and fact-based decision support, and drives strategies back to execution systems to close the loop and continuously improve asset performance across the enterprise.

Meridium RCMO– Meridium has created RCMO (Reliability Centered Maintenance and Optimization), the only reliability centered maintenance solution completely built within the SAP NetWeaver architecture and seamlessly integrated with SAPEAM. Because RCMO is an xApps-Certified solution, the implementation is swift and drives the creation and evaluation of asset strategies for the process, power and discrete manufacturing industries. RCMO allows customers to easily evaluate their asset strategies with proven methodologies such as RCM and FMEA and quickly implement recommended strategy changes. Clients also can monitor the performance of asset strategies using RCMO’s integration to SAP Business Warehouse to ensure effectiveness is constantly measured for continuous improvement.

PRM™
Plant Resource Manager (PRM) is a real-time instrument device maintenance and management software package that provides a platform for advanced instrument diagnostics. PRM is an integrated software solution that unifies the monitored data from intelligent and non-intelligent field devices running within Yokogawa’s CENTUM VP and STARDOM control systems or as a stand-alone solution. The key feature of PRM is that it provides easy access to automatically collected data from field networks such as Foundation Fieldbus, and HART allowing integration, management and maintenance of these devices using a common database.

PRM provides integrated plant and device performance data, maintenance records, audit trails, device configuration with auto-device detection, historic data management, parameter comparison, advanced device diagnostics information, and access to on-line documentation such as device drawings, parts list and manuals in a client server architecture that provides information to multiple users within a plant facility. It provides the ability to adjust the parameters of intelligent devices online and allows comparison of the current data to historical data of a device.

Fieldmate
FieldMate is an asset management software developed for portable laptop computers that provides configuration and maintenance of intelligent field devices. Fieldmate supports the use of open interface Field Device Tool (FDT) technology to facilitate the configuration and adjustment of field devices such as sensors and valves at production sites, regardless of the manufacturer or the communication protocols. Fieldmate also supports Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) interface technology.

With its device navigation and device maintenance information management features, this software relieves users of the difficulties with dealing with a variety of communication protocols and configuration methods from multiple manufacturers which used different configurators and/or multiple configuration procedures.
