Maximo at Infigen Background Maximo v6 was implemented in 2007

Babcock & Brown Bluarc

Implementation focused on purchasing and inventory Wind turbine major components were not serialized

Challenging to track maintenance and moves both between turbines and between farms

Relied on vendor invoices to review maintenance and move histories.

Work orders rarely used Maintenance costs not easily tracked

Operations Control Center did not use Maximo

10

Projetech Role Projetech provided services in 2011-12 to

implement Maximo v75 with new business processes to attain superior tracking.

V75 installed as a new implementation rather than upgrading existing data

11

Implementation Objective Provide an improved asset work and move

history Capture lifetime repair costs Standardize data Reduce system complexity Incorporate the existing OCC Master Log into

Maximo

Operations Control Center (OCC) The OCC monitors and operates the entire US fleet of

wind turbines, balance of plant systems and electrical interconnection facilities

Used an elaborate spreadsheet to track reported events and communications (call outs) to the Sites

With a shared Outlook mailbox maintaining history of call outs, which was not easily searched.

28

The OCC and Maximo V75 Created the Infigen Event Ticket application to record and

manage events across farms Clone of Service Requests.

Communication Templates provide an easy method of distributing email messages with applicable data Effortlessly communicate with those who need to know without

searching through a group email account for message threads .
