Evaluation of existing systems

Evaluation of existing systems

Existing asset assessment is an important process to analyze the efficiency, performance, safety and sustainability of industrial or other assets. A comprehensive assessment can help identify vulnerabilities, better utilize resources, and plan long-term improvements.

Here are some steps and aspects that should be taken into account when evaluating investments and that we are happy to carry out for you:

  • Documentation and inventory:
    • Capture detailed information about the assets, including construction plans, technical specifications, maintenance history and current operating status.
  • Operation and maintenance history:
    • Analyze records of maintenance, repairs and operational parameters to identify trends and recurring problems.
  • Energy efficiency:
    • Checking the energy efficiency of the system. Identifying opportunities to reduce energy consumption and implement sustainable practices.
  • Operating parameters and performance:
    • Analysis of operating parameters such as production rates, throughput, scrap rates and other relevant metrics to evaluate the performance of the system.
  • Security check:
    • Review safety protocols, equipment and procedures to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and best practices.
  • Environmental impact:
    • What impact does the facility have on the environment, including emissions, waste management, or other environmental impacts. Identifying opportunities to reduce environmental impacts.
  • Risk assessment:
    • Identify potential risks to asset integrity, employee safety and continuity of operations. Develop risk mitigation plans.
  • Economic Review:
    • Conducting economic assessments to determine the profitability of the facility. Consider investments in modernization, repairs and upgrades compared to expected savings or improved performance.

The assessment of existing systems requires a holistic approach that takes technical, economic, social and environmental aspects into account. For this purpose, appropriate training and many years of experience are of great importance. A multidisciplinary team of engineers, environmental experts, operations personnel, and other professionals can provide valuable insight during a comprehensive analysis and assessment.
