EAM, Software & Packaged Services for Asset Management
Technical know how and supportive tools to drive data-driven asset management decision
Our expertise lies in collaborating and working with organisations to maximise the benefits of having data-driven asset management decisions. Insights are only as good as the information they’re based on.
We continuously strive to make sure asset information and data is of the highest quality and efficiency through our EAM, Software and Solutions services. Beside the basics, this can also cover advanced planning and portfolio management capabilities. Not only does good data resemble an asset by itself but developing and enabling data-driven decisions also creates opportunities for continuous learning, strengthens long-term competence and mitigates risks.
EAM and Software
Data-driven strategic asset management
The Mobility Infrastructure Asset Management (MIAM) suite is a software suite designed to manage an entire asset portfolio from a strategic perspective based on its available data. Its main focus is to provide a purely data-driven perspective on the condition of big asset portfolios, with the ability to derive financial needs for ongoing renewal and maintenance. By structuring the data into relevant dimensions, MIAM allows for a well-rounded perspective on the decision drivers for strategical asset management. This further enables a well prepared and differentiated negotiation strategy with the funding authorities.
The structured approach of MIAM allows for portfolio information to be broken down into key dimensions, such as:
- Quality aspects that drive asset management decisions (e.g. substance, availability, safety, functionality, compliance)
- Geographic regions
- Network lines and key areas of responsibility
- Organisational departments or key areas of technical expertise
MIAM is built modular and comprises several modules, with the key features being:
- Data-based condition evaluation of the network and its assets
- Forecast of budget requirements for renewal and maintenance as well as work
- Network-wide planning of the renewal of assets with focus on upcoming financing periods
- Life-cycle management of assets and life-cycle cost optimisation
- Unit cost management for maintenance and renewal
- Unit cost data capturing
- Data quality anchoring and monitoring

AFRY DNA
Data-Based Current State Analysis - a current picture of your maintenance data and its quality.
We deliver clear insights and recommendations on how you can improve both data quality and processes in your maintenance operations. We also provide solutions to how you can take the next step towards world-class data-driven asset management.
With our ready-made analysis tools, we analyze data from your maintenance system and with our calculation models, we generate insights into your current situation and improvement potential towards data-driven maintenance planning.
In addition to providing important data regarding the current state and situation of asset systems, your data will also contain many truths about how to maintain the status of the facilities. For example, maintenance efficiency, planning efficiency, data quality, distribution of maintenance work, etc.
We use these truths to outline a roadmap for future steps so that you get the right results in the right order.
Our DNA service is delivered at a fixed price regardless of the EAM system you are using.
Normal delivery time of 4-6 weeks.
Spare Parts
Find savings and efficiency potentials in your spare part operations. We are focused on optimizing the capital tie-up in relation to the shortage costs that may arise.
With our ready-made analysis tool, we analyze your spare part data from your maintenance system/business system and with our calculation models we generate insights into the status of your warehouse and present improvement potentials.
We bring sizeable experience and exposure to similar projects in the identification and execution of efficiency opportunities of warehouse operations.
Among other things, we can provide:
- Volume value analysis including proposals for A, B and C classification
- Proposal for classification of materials into insurance, consumables and non consumables
- Optimization proposal for the A-rated material
- Proposal for scrapping of articles
- Proposals for goals and key figures, as well as how the work should be carried forward based on the analysis
Our Spare part optimization service is delivered at a fixed price regardless of the EAM system you are using.
Normal delivery time of 4-6 weeks.
Interview-based analysis of the current situation
Get an independent and comprehensive picture of the current situation of the entire maintenance business - both the maintenance organisation and all the parts of the business that affect maintenance. This is carried out through interviews and workshops with your business.
The starting point for all improvements is knowledge of what is already working well, and what has potential for improvement in maintenance operations. Our interview-based analysis of the current situation (audit) gives you this knowledge.
Likewise, a clear and well-established picture of the business is a prerequisite for successfully formulating, anchoring and implementing a strategy.
The current situation analysis is a systematic review of the maintenance business, not only the maintenance organisation itself, but all activities in the company that affect maintenance.
The analysis of the current situation includes all affected employees and involves them in a natural way in the subsequent improvement process. The evaluation becomes the starting point for a total improvement process that creates increased productivity.
The review, which provides a comprehensive picture of the maintenance operation, is among other things, divided into:
- Strategy/Leadership
- Competence Assurance
- New acquisitions and modifications
- Planning
- Preventive and corrective maintenance
- Spare parts control
- Production capability and economy
- Plant status, environment and safety
At AFRY, we have many years of experience with over 100 companies where we have conducted current situation analysis of various operations, through interviews and benchmarking. In this way, we have a unique insight into the aspects that make a business well-functioning based on People, Process and IT, but also which potentials should be focused on.
The interview-based analysis can be combined with our Data-based Situation Analysis to provide the complete current situation.
Desired Situation
The desired situation is the strategic document for your maintenance business, which normally extends 3-5 years ahead.
The entire maintenance business needs to understand where it is going, in order to be able to focus on the right things and gradually change.
We know that it's easy to become "blind to own flaws", which is human. In our standardised way of working to shape a "desired situation", we include an inspirational workshop for world-class Data-Driven Maintenance. The aim is to raise our sights and provide insight into the opportunities that exist. In this way, it is easier to start shaping the goals for a period of time a number of years ahead (normally 3-5 years).
Desired situation is a fixed-price service where we have a well-proven methodology, templates and experience from other companies where we work together with you to develop your desired situation.
Optimisation of data
A critically important component in order to be able to conduct world-class Data-Driven Maintenance is structured and quality-assured facility data. It is also a must for future machine learning models and the economic importance of maintenance.
With our complete methods, tools and best practices, we help you increase the quality of your facility data into a structured and analysable database. Together, we also establish a structure to maintain the data quality of your maintenance system so that you can continue your journey towards Data-Driven Maintenance.
Plant data optimisation is available for:
- Equipment types
- Error classes and error codes
- Criticality rating
