Energy context
Why Business Intelligence works differently in Energy
In Energy, energy operations center on sector-specific concepts such as asset/equipment management, field maintenance, predictive maintenance. In energy, asset reliability, field maintenance and the compliance burden require functions to evaluate equipment history and live field data together.
Qera ERP's Business Intelligence module is set up around how the energy sector works: Tracks asset performance, maintenance cost and downtime on dashboards.
- When the maintenance schedule of field equipment and assets isn't tracked, unplanned downtime and breakdowns increase.
- When investment/plant projects aren't tracked alongside budget and progress payments, cost overruns are noticed too late.
- When data from field devices is disconnected from the system, live status and performance can't be seen.
