One item that we haven\u2019t covered is how to implement APM and which use cases to consider. To begin with, foundational elements such a well implemented EAM with defined work processes need to be in place. After that, every company is different and there are multiple variables to consider as to where to start (which makes an <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cHM6Ly9ibG9nLnNjaG5laWRlci1lbGVjdHJpYy5jb20vaW5kdXN0cmlhbC1zb2Z0d2FyZS8yMDE3LzA5LzIyLzMtc3RlcHMtb3B0aW1pemluZy1hcG0tc3RyYXRlZ3kv&#038;feed-stats-url-post-id=44418\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">APM Assessment<\/a> very helpful). However, there are three immediate use cases that can generally bring the most value from APM.<\/p>\n<p>The below implementations are useful because they fill gaps in companies\u2019 operations and provide real business solutions. What if you could digitally transform and automate almost all your work processes? What if you could predict problems before they happen? Or examine and disassemble an entire asset virtually? These are all possible with APM. These solutions are being used in the real world today \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cDovL3NvZnR3YXJlLnNjaG5laWRlci1lbGVjdHJpYy5jb20vYWJvdXQtdXMvc3VjY2Vzcy1zdG9yaWVzL2xpc3RpbmctY29udGVudC9pbmZpbmV1bS8%3D&#038;feed-stats-url-post-id=44418\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Infineum<\/a> increased plant availability above 90% by digitally empowering their workforce, and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cDovL3NvZnR3YXJlLnNjaG5laWRlci1lbGVjdHJpYy5jb20vYWJvdXQtdXMvc3VjY2Vzcy1zdG9yaWVzL2xpc3RpbmctY29udGVudC90YXRhcG93ZXIv&#038;feed-stats-url-post-id=44418\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tata Power<\/a> saved almost $300,000 with a single predictive maintenance catch.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GxlYvSZ_a70?feature=oembed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"420\" frameborder=\"0\" ><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<h4><strong>Empower the digital workforce with APM<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>APM allows a complete <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cHM6Ly9odWJzLmx5L0gwOUJ3TEYw&#038;feed-stats-url-post-id=44418\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">digital transformation<\/a> of the working process. Mobile operator rounds increase operator situational awareness, improve safety and ensure operators always follow best practices. As a result, operational efficiency, asset performance and reliability improve substantially. Best practice enforcement is also helpful in maintaining standardization and regulatory compliance across multiple sites. Knowledge transfer is another helpful benefit \u2013 newly trained workers replacing retiring operators are empowered with best practices. Otherwise that institutional knowledge would simply be lost.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, real-time field data collected from stranded assets adds another valuable source of information.

For mission-critical assets, predictive asset analytics solutions analyze an asset\u2019s base operating state. The solution then uses advanced pattern recognition and machine learning to detect fluctuations in the operating pattern. This means companies can catch problems days, weeks or months before traditional HMI alarming would. Early warning alerts and automated workflows mean operators can take early action to improve asset performance and reliability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cHM6Ly9odWJzLmx5L0gwOUJ3TXIw&#038;feed-stats-url-post-id=44418\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44422 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Big-Data-Analytics-Framework.png\" alt=\"See how advanced analytics is an ideal implementation of APM\" width=\"1035\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Big-Data-Analytics-Framework.png 1035w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Big-Data-Analytics-Framework-300x149.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Big-Data-Analytics-Framework-768x381.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Big-Data-Analytics-Framework-1024x508.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1035px) 100vw, 1035px\" \/><\/a><em>Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.schneider-electric.com\/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cHM6Ly9odWJzLmx5L0gwOUJ3TXIw&#038;feed-stats-url-post-id=44418\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strategic Guide to Digital Transformation<\/a> to see why digital transformation is necessary for manufacturers who want to remain competitive<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Visualize and manipulate a virtual asset<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are two of the most exciting developments in digital transformation.

At the design stage, engineers can use AR\/VR to model and construct an asset for maximum efficiency in operation. Then, during operations users can access a digital model of the asset to understand current asset health and strategize asset operations for maximum return on investment.
