Asset management

Asset management that starts from how assets fail.

ISO 55000 describes asset management as the coordinated work of an organisation to get value from its assets. In maintenance, that value is decided failure by failure: which ones matter, how they announce themselves, what to do about them. Sibilla carries the chain from the asset register to the decision, on your data.

Maintenance strategy

Not every failure deserves predictive maintenance.

Reliability-centred maintenance asks every failure mode the same question: does it announce itself early enough to act? If the warning is measurable and leaves time to plan, condition-based maintenance pays off. If not, a preventive task or a planned run-to-failure is the honest answer.

Sibilla works where the answer is yes. It reads the signals you already collect, notices the degradation at point P and leaves your team the time between P and F to order the part and schedule the stop.

P-F curve The condition of an asset stays steady, then declines faster and faster until functional failure (F). At point P the degradation becomes measurable and Sibilla notices it: the time left until F is the time to plan the intervention. Noise and heat only appear just before F, leaving only time to react. Qualitative, no time scale. condition time failure begins P · Sibilla notices a KDI leaves its band noise and heat: you notice F · failure by ear and touch: time to react with Sibilla: time to plan
Qualitative P-F curve, no time scale: we do not quote lead times without a documented case. The P-F interval comes from reliability-centred maintenance (SAE JA1011, IEC 60300-3-11); the monitoring method from ISO 17359 and ISO 13374. The standards we refer to.

From register to decision

Six links of the chain, in one platform.

Asset register and hierarchy

Sites, systems and components in one tree, on a taxonomy of 192 component types in the ISO 14224 style. Viewer, Editor and Superuser roles per organisation, inherited along the tree.

Reference: ISO 14224

Available

Failure modes

A Blueprint describes how a failure mode shows on a type of asset: the signals it needs, the expected degradation pattern, the effects. Your FMEA is where new Blueprints start.

Reference: IEC 60812

Available

Criticality and risk

Fault trees with 271 failure nodes in the catalogue; risk matrices weighing safety, environment and continuity of service; minimal cut sets.

Reference: IEC 61025

Available

Condition monitoring

Data quality on every measurement point, then analysis models tested before field use, then KDIs with confidence bands and a log of every run.

Reference: ISO 17359, ISO 13374

Available

Diagnosis

Every KDI linked to its failure mode and to its place in the fault tree. Asset Health shows the worst state of each asset in one sentence. The expert decides.

Reference: ISO 13379-1

Available

Inspection and work order

Inspections suggested from the fault tree; notifications opened in SAP PM, Maximo or the CMMS you already use, following your processes.

Reference: ISO 13374 (advisory generation)

Project-based

The full Sibilla suite

Ten modules, from the signal to the whole maintenance organisation.

Sibilla's predictive core reads the plant and tells you where to look. Around it, the suite covers the rest of asset management: inspections in the field, work orders, reliability, spare parts, people and contractors. Start with the core and add one module at a time, or take the full suite.

Asset Management and field inspections

Asset register, guided field inspections and investment planning.

Available

Takes predictive maintenance into the field and up to investment decisions. Inspections run on digital checklists in a mobile app; every report is stored, versioned and approved; what the crew finds feeds a health score that ranks the fleet for replacement and refurbishment. It supports the processes an ISO 55001 asset management system asks for; the system itself remains your organisation's.

The inspection app

Digital checklists on a phone or, for harsh environments, on an optional ruggedised tablet. The technician follows the steps, records measurements, conditions and photos on the asset they belong to, and sends the report for approval.

A field guide for each inspection

When Sibilla flags a degradation, the crew does not get a generic task: it gets a card written for that finding. Why this inspection and where to look, with the data behind it; safety first; the tests to run, in order, with the standard each one refers to; what to measure and what readings to expect; the conditions to record; what to report; and a decision guide that says what to do with each result. The card supports the crew; it never replaces the site's work procedures and permits.

Reports you can audit

Inspection reports are stored, versioned and go through an approval workflow, with an audit trail on the asset register. Coverage, overdue inspections and closure of findings are tracked as KPIs.

From condition to investment

Findings and predictive indicators feed a health score per asset. The fleet is ranked on it, and a replacement and refurbishment plan weighs CAPEX against OPEX.

Example (illustrative). On a solar inverter, Sibilla sees the DC insulation resistance fall and stay low. The card tells the crew to measure the combiner feeders one at a time before opening any box, to check the surge arresters first, to run dry and wet insulation tests as described in IEC 62446-1, and to compare the inverter's own reading with a handheld tester: if they disagree, the problem is the sensor, not the insulation.

Work Management

From an alert to a work order closed and recorded.

Available

A lightweight CMMS inside Sibilla, as an alternative or a complement to SAP: plan, schedule, assign, execute and record the work, with permit-to-work and lockout/tagout, time and materials. Every intervention goes back to the models: what actually fixed the problem becomes history the plant owns.

  • Job plans and task lists
  • Crew availability and skills
  • Spare parts and permits

What you get

  • Work orders from opening to closure
  • Execution on mobile, offline too

  • Feedback to the models
  • Backlog and adherence to plans

Reliability

The reliability engineer's cockpit: MTBF, MTTR, bad actors, RCM and FMEA.

Available

Turns failure history into reliability decisions. It computes MTBF, MTTR and availability, finds the bad actors with a Pareto analysis and structures the maintenance strategy with RCM and FMEA worksheets, as a natural extension of Sibilla's fault trees.

Works on

  • Failure and work history
  • Hierarchy and operating hours
  • Sibilla's fault trees
  • Criticality and condition data

What you get

Replacement Management

Strategic spare parts across site, regional and supplier warehouses.

Available

Decides which strategic spares to stock, where, and when to reorder, across a network of warehouses: on site, in regional depots and at suppliers or on consignment. It combines failure risk and remaining life from the models with lead times, criticality and target service levels, to keep less capital in the warehouse without exposing the plant to the most expensive downtime.

Works on

  • Spare parts catalogue with criticality and BOM
  • Failure risk and remaining life from the models
  • Stock in every warehouse
  • Lead times, minimum orders, downtime costs

What you get

  • Stock levels and reorder points per warehouse

  • Transfers between warehouses
  • Capital versus service level
  • Stock-out alerts on critical parts

SAP PM integration

Notifications and maintenance plans in SAP PM, driven by condition.

Project-based

Closes the loop between what Sibilla detects and what the ERP executes: from a predictive alert it creates the notification or work request in SAP PM, keeps the status in sync both ways and adapts maintenance plans and intervals to the condition of each asset. It is built on your SAP system and your processes, by a team that has designed maintenance processes in SAP for twenty years.

Works on

  • Alerts and indicators from the models
  • Functional locations and equipment
  • Existing plans and strategies
  • Notification and work-order history

What you get

  • Notifications created from alerts
  • Status kept in sync both ways
  • Plans and intervals adapted to condition
  • Backlog and plan-adherence KPIs

Knowledge Base

The plant's memory: failure modes, repairs and root causes, asset by asset.

Available

Captures the maintenance knowledge that today leaves with an external contractor or a retiring technician: failure modes, repairs, root causes, field notes and photos, for each asset. It becomes a searchable library, and it gives the AI agents your real history instead of generic knowledge.

Works on

  • Closed work orders
  • Inspection findings
  • Root-cause analyses
  • Notes, photos, manuals

What you get

  • Failure and repair history per asset
  • Searchable knowledge base
  • Library of root causes
  • Your history, available to the AI agents

AI Agent

Plain-language explanations inside the Sibilla screens.

Available

Brings the agents into the Sibilla screens: next to a report, a data-quality check or the fleet status, it explains in plain words why an asset is in alarm, summarises reports and suggests what to check next. Detection stays deterministic; every statement links back to the evidence, and the decision stays with the expert.

Works on

  • Indicators and pattern matches
  • Detection events and run history
  • Asset context and fault trees
  • The Knowledge Base, when active

What you get

  • Why an asset is in alarm, in plain words
  • Report summaries and fleet briefings
  • Suggested checks, never binding
  • Every statement linked to its evidence

Workforce

Skills and capacity: is the crew qualified for the work, and when.

Available

Manages the people who do the maintenance: a skills matrix, licences and qualifications with their expiry dates, qualification per type of task, capacity planning and dispatch. It answers the question every organisation that brings maintenance in-house has to answer: can our crew do this work, and from when.

Works on

  • Technicians and their skills
  • Licences, qualifications and expiry dates
  • Work backlog and priorities
  • Shifts and availability

What you get

  • Skills matrix and gaps
  • Training and qualification plan
  • Capacity against backlog
  • Scheduling and dispatch

Sourcing

Make or buy: what to bring in-house, and when.

Available

Supports the decision to bring maintenance in-house with numbers: it compares in-house and contractor cost per activity and asset, follows contractors' service levels, cost and quality during the transition, and builds the baseline that justifies, or postpones, each step.

Works on

  • In-house and contractor costs
  • Contracts and service levels
  • Contractor performance history
  • In-house capacity, from Workforce

What you get

  • Make-or-buy per activity
  • Contractor scorecards
  • Internalisation roadmap
  • Savings actually realised

Asset Health Report ("point zero")

A service: the whole history of the plant, read once, to photograph the starting condition.

Available

Before the models run every day, our engineers read the plant's full history with Sibilla: which signals degraded, when, how often data quality was poor, which failure modes were visible in advance. The result is a report per asset and a shared starting point: what is healthy, what needs an eye, and where monitoring is not worth it.

Works on

  • Historian or SCADA history, as far back as it goes
  • Maintenance records and known failures

What you get

  • A health report per asset
  • Signals and failure modes worth monitoring
  • A baseline for the pilot

Processes and EAM

Predictive maintenance is a process, not a dashboard.

An amber KDI is useful only when it becomes an inspection, a notification, a decision someone owns. Our team brings twenty years of maintenance processes in SAP: we design that path with you, on the EAM or CMMS you already use.

Questions we are asked

Is Sibilla an EAM or a CMMS?

No. Your EAM or CMMS remains the system of record for assets, work orders and costs. Sibilla adds what it does not have: the condition of each asset, read from the signals, linked to failure modes and risk.

Does Sibilla get us ISO 55001?

No software can: ISO 55001 concerns your organisation's asset management system and is assessed by an audit of it. Sibilla provides evidence on condition and risk for the decisions that system has to take.

Do you help define the maintenance strategy?

Yes, as a project with your team: criticality of the assets, failure modes, and the choice between condition-based, preventive and run-to-failure for each one.
