Meridium Debuts Mobile Inspection Management for SAP

[9/18/2007]
Roanoke, Virginia, USA – Meridium Inc., the leader in asset performance management (APM) software and consulting solutions, will announce its newest solution for the SAP® marketplace: Meridium Mobile Inspection Management for SAP®, at the SAP/ASUG Adaptive Manufacturing Summit next week in San Francisco.

The surveillance of equipment condition is critical for ensuring the detection and prevention of equipment failures and the ensuing unplanned downtime. While analysts and engineers may be responsible for defining the overall strategy for equipment, operators, inspectors and technicians often have a better day-to-day understanding of physical equipment functions and conditions. In addition, operators are presented with the best opportunity to collect the data needed to assess the current condition of equipment. Therefore, ensuring that operators are monitoring critical equipment and capturing the appropriate data is fundamental to managing the reliability of equipment.

SAP and Meridium provide a mechanism for supporting these fundamental inspection strategies and tasks with Meridium's Mobile Inspection Management (MIM) for SAP — a new solution tightly integrated with SAP Enterprise Asset Management and built completely in SAP NetWeaverTM. MIM puts the power of Meridium and SAP in the hands of equipment operators and inspectors through a handheld application that lets them capture data electronically in the field.
