Asset information management (AIM)
Etteplan AIM is a fully outsourced asset information management service for asset owners and operators. We take end-to-end responsibility for your asset information, aligned with ISO 55000 and ISO 19650, so it stays accurate, accessible and ready for every decision.
Why poor asset information is a business risk
Poor asset information shows up in operations before it shows up on a dashboard. Crews chase outdated data, projects overrun at handover, and audits find gaps nobody knew existed.
These are operational and financial risks, and they grow over time. They weigh most where assets carry the business: energy and utilities, airports and harbors, pulp and paper, mining, food and beverage, marine, defence, and water and waste.
Key challenges and how Etteplan AIM solves them
Unplanned downtime
€10,000 to €500,000+ per hour. Maintenance plans and equipment master data built on reliable asset information cut the incidents missing data causes.
Project delays
A one-month delay on a €100M+ project carries direct capital costs. Project information services make suppliers deliver the right information on the critical path.
Maintenance inefficiency
Technicians lose 15–30% of their time looking for information. We put drawings, manuals, records and spare parts data under a single point of control.
Safety & compliance risk
One serious incident can cost more than a year of AIM service. Governed, auditable information closes the gaps before an audit finds them.
Rework & re-engineering
Bad baseline data surfaces mid-project. We verify the baseline before the project starts.
Handover cost
Fixing information after a poor handover costs 2–5x doing it right. We manage handover from the first supplier delivery.
What you get with Etteplan AIM
Asset information management means capturing, structuring and maintaining the technical information about your physical assets, from design specifications and maintenance records to operating procedures. With Etteplan AIM, one partner does it across the lifecycle, with engineers who know how assets are built.
One information model for all your assets
Before any data moves, we agree what information you need, how it is structured and who owns it. We define the model, set up the practices around it and coordinate implementation across your systems, aligned with ISO 55000, ISO 19650 and ISO/IEC 81346.
Information that is right at handover
Most asset information problems start at handover, when project data arrives in a format operations can’t use. During capital projects we write the information management plan, coordinate suppliers and BIM models, and review deliveries as they arrive. Operations gets usable data from the first day.
One point of control in operations
We run your asset information as an outsourced function. Drawings, manuals, maintenance records and spare parts data sit under one point of control, with a service portal, one contact person and agreed governance. We keep it current as assets change and QA every update.
Master data ready for your ERP or EAM
Equipment and spare parts data often sits in old drawings, spreadsheets and supplier documents. We structure it into master data that meets the requirements of your ERP or EAM system. Etteplan rAIse extracts data from legacy drawings with AI, and our engineers check the result before it goes live.
Maintenance plans built on reliable data
A maintenance plan is only as good as the equipment data behind it. We build plans on verified equipment master data, using Etteplan rAIse where the source data is scattered. Your teams plan work on the right equipment, unplanned downtime falls and assets last longer.
"Etteplan is a very secure and futureproof supplier with broad and expert competences, and we are happy that we can continue our partnership within Asset Information Management. We are fully confident that Etteplan will continue to deliver high-quality services to us over the years."
