How do I purchase Asset Risk Predictor (ARP)?
Contact your Customer Success Representative or reach out to our product experts at sales@fiixsoftware.com.
Who is eligible for ARP?
Anyone can purchase ARP, even if you're not already a Fiix customer.
For Fiix customers who purchase ARP, it will be enabled in your existing CMMS. To learn more, see Overview: Asset Risk Predictor setup.
For non-Fiix customers, we'll create a Fiix CMMS for you where you can access ARP. You will receive one Enterprise license with your purchase. If you need additional licenses, you can contact your Fiix representative to purchase them separately.
Are there any disqualification criteria that could prevent us from using ARP?
If there is no statistical “normal” pattern to how the asset and sensors report data, this can cause a very wide range of “low” risk points. The machine should have a normal pattern to its data, and working towards a reduced standard deviation on the sensor data can help with a good model.
If the asset has drastic swings in mean and the standard deviation is high or sporadic, it reduces the accuracy of predictions. We use very advanced algorithms and techniques to power AARP, but you can review the Cp and Cpk calculations in the six-sigma methodology to gain a basic understanding of centering mean and how a high standard deviation negatively influences a process.
Further, assets like vehicles are not ideal, as ARP should be monitoring an automated process like a manufacturing line, work cell, fabrication cell, or even calculated values that are derived from a process. For example, we could be calculating OEE in a MES and that value is updated in real time. A user could query that OEE value every second, five seconds, etc., and then feed data that into ARP as a sensor value. Then you would get a high-risk score on that OEE “sensor” when OEE changes from its normal pattern of fluctuation to its new pattern.
