8 Reasons Why Idus IS is the Best Maintenance System Available

1: Idus IS Handles All Industries!

Idus IS has fantastic flexibility and works equally well in almost any industry. Idus IS is the most widely used system for the control of water and wastewater plants in Sweden. Our users also include ports, a biscuit factory and the ultramodern corvettes of the Swedish Navy. To name just a few.

We specialise in particular in the process industry, power plants, manufacturing industry, food industry, water and wastewater plants and real estate. But Idus IS’s flexible and modular solution means that it works well for just about any industry.

2. Idus IS can easily be linked to other systems.

Idus IS can be easily interconnected with your other systems, for example business systems, financial systems and monitoring systems. Statistics and other information from operation can thus be quickly and easily transferred in both directions and be of benefit. A manufacturing company, for example, can link Idus IS to its business system and base its maintenance on reality instead of static intervals.

As a result, both unnecessary breakdowns and unnecessary maintenance are avoided, which can save large sums of money. Another example is automatic transfer of costs per cost centre for working time, spare parts etc. to the financial system.

3. Idus IS can be expanded according to your needs

Idus has several different add-on applications that simplify, improve and expand the system.

• Idus Pocket is a mini-version of Idus IS intended for PDAs. This application can handle maintenance functions, value reading and stock functions, for example.
• Idus Web handles fault reports over the Internet and is ideally suited to companies whose employees need to report faults without otherwise making use of the maintenance system.
• Idus Import is a great add-on when you need to gather information from other applications, such as contacts from Excel or data from Excel files.
• Idus Message means that the fault report reaches the right person directly. An automatic fault report or work order is sent by printout, e-mail or SMS text message.
• Idus Doc can save documents with automatic linking to work order and object.
• DUSiFIX is a direct link between Idus IS and iFIX. The same interface is used for both systems, and you have access to all the maintenance functions directly on your process screen.
• Idus Valuereader enables you to link your monitoring program to Idus IS and, for example, transfer operator signals automatically to Idus IS.
• Idus DataServer can be used for transfers for example of worked time, maintenance costs and stock transactions to your financial system, business system or any other system.

4. Anyone can learn how to use Idus IS quickly

One of the greatest benefits of Idus is its simplicity. Anyone can learn quickly how to use the system, even people who do not work with computers on a daily basis.

Different levels of authorization mean that individual users only see what is relevant to them, and all data is entered in the same way by all users. Idus can, if necessary, offer tailored training courses for you and your staff. We also regularly arrange training courses at various levels. With the add-on application Idus Web employees can report faults over the Internet without needing to use the maintenance system.

5. Idus IS image navigation makes it easy to find what you are looking for

Navigating in Idus IS is very simple. With the intuitive image navigation, you can point and click your way through the plant.

You obtain simple and natural search paths to objects, functions, external applications containing information or other images. You choose for yourself whether you wish to have drawings, maps, photographs or graphic illustrations. A great advantage is that production personnel, for example, can very easily create a fault report directly from an image. Image navigation can be expanded so that you can navigate down to the smallest screw if you wish to do so.

One example is using CAD images, for example PI diagrams, to complete the search path down to the smallest sensor. It is thus very simple to find parts in the plant through the CAD drawings

6. Idus IS gives you exactly the right information

With Idus IS you always obtain the right information. With a few simple clicks you can find out many things, for example:

• What does a particular measure cost?
• How long does a particular measure take?
• What faults are most common on different machines?
• Which machines cause most trouble, and which least?
• Which spare parts should always be in stock?
• What intervals are optimal for different types of maintenance?

The statistics and information from Idus IS provide you with an ideal basis on which to take sensible and long-term decisions, for example with regard to major investments and renovations, taking on new staff or reducing staffing levels.

8.Idus IS keeps a check on more than maintenance

Idus IS can be used for much more than just maintenance. Continuous supervision and inspections are administered in the same database as other maintenance. Using different modules you can enter many different functions, for example:

• Stock. Idus gives you complete control of your stock. You can optimise your stock so that you always have the things you need and are not left with a mass of unnecessary and costly items gathering dust.
• Purchasing. Handle all the company’s purchasing through Idus, regardless of whether it is pens, machine parts or consultancy services. The great advantage is that everything becomes more secure. All purchasing is certified and ready before the order is placed.
• Environmental and quality work. Administer environmental and quality routines in the same database as other activity.
• Continuous Monitoring. Idus IS handles CM, for example for pressure vessels and lifting equipment.
• Safety rounds. Gain control over your safety rounds by scheduling them in Idus IS. Just as for maintenance, you report any non-conformances and the action taken.
• Fire safety checks. You can carry out safety checks in the same way.
• Logbook. With the Logbook, operating personnel in control rooms, for example, can document events in a very simple way.
