Asset Navigation

with The AIM Suite
(Asset Information Management)

The AIM Suite delivers Asset Navigation across asset intensive industries around the globe

This means the creation, management, overhaul and deployment of key assets can be improved and enhanced with the deployment of The AIM Suite. Industries, such as Oil & Gas, can leverage this technology in order to unlock engineering content within their native CAD drawings and engineering documents.

 

A solution for all asset intensive industries

OpenText Cloud Certified

Automatically extract, validate, correct and activate tags from within drawings and documents (including native CAD and PDF).

 

Extract data

Integrating tightly with the market leading OpenText ECM platforms of Content Management and Documentum

Asset Navigation also supports the engineering specific solutions of Content Management for Engineering and Documentum Asset Operations. It also works seamlessly with the CM for SAP framework – giving the ability to leverage related information held in e.g. SAP, directly from the drawing itself via the business workspace. 


The AIM Suite not only unlocks valuable asset information within engineering drawings and documents, it also bridges the gap between structured and unstructured data and info, and systems. This means that asset related information can be accessed directly from the tag itself – whether it lies in the same ECM or an allied, yet separate system, such as ERP, Asset Management etc.

AssetXtractor

AssetXtractor

Captures assets within DWGs
and PDFs

Automatically extract, validate, correct and activate tags from within drawings and documents (including native CAD and PDF).

​

As part of The AIM Suite, tags become dynamic links (HotSpots) between drawings, documents and systems, enabling multi system access directly from an asset (Asset Navigation).

 

Capture assets

AssetXtractor

It's indicating, through a vertical purple line, that AssetXtractor is scanning the CAD image for tags. As the tags have been picked up, a green tick appears next to them. If they are incorrect, a red cross appears next to them.

Use your data, your way

A graphic showing a vector of a CAD drawing example ont he left with HotSpots highlighted on four of the tags. On the right is a list of those tags with a tick next to the names to represent that the information on th drawing has been automatically validated with AssetXtractor. On the far right of the image are the words; Extract, Validate, Correct. At the bottom of the image is a caption which reads: AssetXtractor automatically Extracts, Validates and Corrects asset tags from your drawing and documents.

Multiple output options.

​

Save time and money, whilst maintaining state-of-the-art master data governance. AssetXtractor provides your output data in Excel format, database format or in an intuitive web interface.

​

Data from AssetXtractor can inform, update and use your master list to enhance alternative master data sources like ERP or Plant Maintenance systems.

 

AssetXtractor

Master Lists can be used to pre-approve assets, shaving hours off the QA process and delivering exceptionally high quality results.

​

AssetXtractor can add to and adjust existing master lists right at the source, simplifying your data governance processes and reducing the margin for error.
