Configuration Management for Heavy Machinery & Industrial Equipment

Configuration Management in Heavy Machinery and Industrial Equipment

Manufacturers, customers, and service partners of heavy machinery and industrial equipment employ configuration management best practices and software tools to assure maximum up-time for their expensive capital assets in the field.

This is especially important as equipment becomes more complex to design, build, operate and maintain due to increasing electronics, software, automation, and now even autonomy capabilities.

The failure of critical equipment on a jobsite — whether it be commercial construction building or natural resource mining — can result in unsafe conditions, work stoppage, environmental damages, compliance penalties, and missed project schedules.

The standard configuration management functions for inspecting baseline configuration records, performing where-used inquiries, and conducting change impact analysis of part substitutions must be readily available to both the OEM and their customers in the field.
