OEM technical manual and preventive maintenance plan in 3 seconds.

Maintenance engineers lose hours every week searching for the right OEM manual section, the statutory inspection schedule for a piece of equipment, or the FMEA failure mode that explains a recurring breakdown. IgeraIndustria makes all your maintenance documentation instantly queryable — with exact source citation — so your team fixes the problem instead of finding the manual.

OEM manuals & PM plans indexed FMEA & statutory inspection queries <3s response time

OEM manuals buried in folders. Inspections tracked in spreadsheets. FMEA forgotten in a drawer.

The average industrial plant has 300+ OEM manuals, 150+ active statutory inspection certificates and 40+ FMEA documents scattered across shared drives, CMMS attachments and paper binders. When a compressor trips at 2 AM, the maintenance engineer does not have time to find the right manual section. IgeraIndustria does it in 3 seconds.

2.3 hrs

Average time lost per technician per shift searching for OEM manual sections, inspection certificates and maintenance procedures in unstructured document systems.

MTTR

Mean Time To Repair: every 10 minutes spent searching for the manual instead of executing the repair directly increases MTTR and unplanned downtime cost.

ISO 55001

Asset management standard requiring documented maintenance strategies, lifecycle cost data and MTBF/MTTR performance indicators. Often cited in certification gaps.

35%

Of unplanned maintenance costs in process industries are attributable to repeat failures on equipment with FMEA recommendations that were never implemented.

When a rotating equipment specialist retires, the institutional knowledge about which OEM section covers the seal replacement sequence, or which FMEA identified the bearing failure mode that caused last year’s incident, walks out the door. IgeraIndustria preserves that knowledge and makes it accessible to every engineer and technician on the team, 24 hours a day.

Instant answers across all maintenance engineering documentation

IgeraIndustria retrieves the exact OEM manual section, inspection procedure or FMEA entry that applies to each query and responds with the source document, revision number and equipment tag reference.

OEM manual retrieval by equipment tag and procedure

Ask “what is the torque sequence for the cylinder head bolts on compressor C-101?” and IgeraIndustria retrieves the exact section of the OEM manual, the torque values, the bolt pattern and any special tooling requirements. Supports queries in plain language against the full text of all indexed OEM manuals — even across hundreds of documents from different manufacturers.

Preventive maintenance plan by equipment and interval

Query the PM tasks scheduled for any equipment tag at any maintenance interval (weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual, 5-year overhaul). IgeraIndustria retrieves the task list from the maintenance plan, the estimated man-hours, the required spare parts and the safety precautions specified in the procedure. Links to the OEM recommendation when the PM task originates from the manufacturer’s manual.

Statutory inspection schedule and certificate status

Query which statutory inspections are due for any equipment tag, the inspection frequency required by regulation, which authorised inspection body performed the last inspection and the expiry date of the current certificate. Alerts when an inspection certificate is approaching expiry. Links to the applicable regulation (ITC EP, ITC-BT, RD 2060/2008 or equivalent) and the documentation required for the inspection.

FMEA failure mode lookup by equipment and symptom

Query the FMEA worksheet for a specific equipment tag and symptom: “recurring vibration on pump P-302.” IgeraIndustria retrieves the FMEA failure mode entry, the probable cause, the recommended maintenance action, the RPN value and whether a condition monitoring task (vibration, thermography, oil analysis) is specified as the detection method. Identifies FMEA action items that remain open or overdue.

MTBF and MTTR calculation support

Query historical failure data to calculate Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) for specific equipment or equipment families. IgeraIndustria links the calculated values to the ISO 55001 performance monitoring requirement (cl.9.1) and to the maintenance strategy decision criteria in the Asset Management Plan. Supports queries about equipment reliability trends over defined time periods.

Spare parts criticality and stock verification

Query the criticality classification (A/B/C) of any spare part, the minimum stock level defined in the spare parts management procedure, the current approved supplier and the OEM part number. IgeraIndustria also retrieves the OEM-recommended storage conditions for long-term spare parts and the inspection requirements for strategic spares held in the warehouse for extended periods.

Complete support for maintenance strategy and asset management

From breakdown analysis to planned overhaul scheduling and ISO 55001 compliance, IgeraIndustria gives the maintenance engineering team instant access to every document and standard required to optimise plant reliability.

Root cause analysis: 5-Why and fishbone support

When a breakdown occurs, IgeraIndustria retrieves the FMEA failure modes for the failed equipment, the historical failure records from previous incidents and the RCA procedure template. Supports structured 5-Why analysis by linking each “why” to available documentation evidence (inspection records, oil analysis results, vibration trends) that confirms or eliminates potential root causes.

Condition monitoring: alarm thresholds and trending

Query the alarm thresholds and corrective action criteria for all condition monitoring parameters: vibration (ISO 10816/20816 severity zones), thermography (temperature differential thresholds for electrical and mechanical equipment), oil analysis (ISO 4406 cleanliness codes, viscosity limits, wear metal limits) and ultrasound (dB threshold for compressed air leaks and bearing lubrication state).

Major overhaul planning: scope and spare parts

Retrieve the major overhaul scope from the OEM manual and internal maintenance plan for any equipment tag. IgeraIndustria generates the bill of materials for the overhaul (OEM recommended replacement parts), the estimated man-hours by trade, the special tools required, the commissioning and alignment procedures and the post-overhaul performance test criteria specified in the OEM manual.

Lubrication management: product and interval by point

Query the correct lubricant grade, quantity and change interval for any lubrication point on any equipment tag. IgeraIndustria retrieves this from the OEM lubrication schedule, cross-references it with the site lubrication management procedure and identifies the approved lubricant products from the site-approved products list. Alerts when a generic lubricant product has been used that does not meet the OEM specification.

Electrical and instrumentation maintenance queries

Retrieve calibration procedures for instruments by tag number, the maintenance intervals for switchgear and motor control centres, the thermographic inspection criteria for electrical panels and the loop test procedures for safety instrumented systems (SIS). Links to the applicable IEC standard (IEC 61511 for SIS functional safety, IEC 60079 for ATEX equipment maintenance) and the statutory inspection requirements.

ISO 55001 audit preparation and performance reporting

Query the Asset Management Plan requirements by clause, identify which maintenance procedures satisfy specific ISO 55001 requirements, and retrieve the performance indicators (MTBF, MTTR, OEE, maintenance cost as % of asset replacement value) specified in the management review inputs. Generates audit evidence checklists for ISO 55001 certification and surveillance audits.

The 4 standards that define industrial maintenance engineering

Maintenance engineers must comply with equipment manufacturer requirements, statutory inspection regulations and asset management standards simultaneously. IgeraIndustria indexes all of them and immediately identifies which applies.

ISO 55001:2014 — Asset Management System requirements

ISO 55001 is the international benchmark for physical asset management. Key maintenance engineering requirements include: risk-based maintenance strategy selection (cl.6.1), maintenance objectives linked to asset performance targets (cl.6.2), lifecycle cost consideration in maintenance vs. replacement decisions (cl.8.1), performance monitoring with MTBF, MTTR and maintenance cost indicators (cl.9.1), and continual improvement through failure analysis and PM optimization (cl.10). IgeraIndustria links each maintenance procedure and performance indicator to the specific ISO 55001 clause it satisfies, generating a clear audit trail for certification.

IEC 60300-3-11 — Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)

RCM is the systematic methodology for selecting maintenance tasks based on failure mode analysis and consequence evaluation. IEC 60300-3-11 provides the process framework. IgeraIndustria supports RCM analysis by making FMEA data, equipment failure history, OEM maintenance recommendations and condition monitoring data simultaneously queryable. Maintenance engineers can validate RCM task selections against the FMEA data, confirm that time-based replacement intervals are justified by the failure mode and identify opportunities to replace fixed-interval tasks with condition-based monitoring.

EN 13306:2018 — Maintenance terminology

EN 13306 defines the standard terminology for maintenance management across European industry, including the classification of maintenance types (corrective, preventive, condition-based, predictive, predetermined), key performance indicators (MTBF, MTTF, MTTR, OEE, availability) and maintenance documentation requirements. IgeraIndustria uses EN 13306 terminology in all responses, ensuring that answers about maintenance strategy, KPI definitions and task classifications are consistent with the European standard that underpins ISO 55001 implementation in EU plants.

RD 2060/2008 — Statutory pressure equipment inspections (Spain/EU)

Real Decreto 2060/2008 and its ITC-EP (Instrucciones Técnicas Complementarias) define the mandatory periodic inspection requirements for pressure equipment in Spain, implementing EU PED (Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU). IgeraIndustria indexes all ITC-EP inspection procedures, frequencies and documentation requirements, so maintenance engineers can instantly query which inspection certificate is required for a specific pressure vessel, the maximum permissible inspection interval, the qualification requirements for the authorised inspection body and the consequences of exceeding the statutory inspection deadline.

Frequently asked questions — Maintenance Engineering AI

How is IgeraIndustria different from a CMMS like SAP PM or Maximo?

A CMMS (Computerised Maintenance Management System) is a transactional system designed to create work orders, schedule preventive maintenance tasks and track spare parts inventory. It stores what was done and when, but it does not contain the engineering knowledge that explains how to do it. IgeraIndustria is a knowledge retrieval layer that makes your OEM manuals, FMEA reports, inspection procedures and maintenance engineering standards instantly queryable in plain language. The two systems are complementary: IgeraIndustria answers “how do I perform the overhaul of compressor C-201 according to the OEM manual?” while the CMMS records that the overhaul work order was completed. Many clients use IgeraIndustria alongside SAP PM, Maximo or Fiix without any integration required.

Which statutory inspections are mandatory for industrial plant equipment?

Statutory inspection requirements depend on the country, equipment type and pressure/energy class. In Spain and the EU, mandatory inspections include: pressure vessels and boilers (ITC EP-1 to EP-6 under RD 2060/2008), lifting equipment (cranes, hoists — RD 1644/2008 and ITC MIE-AEM-2), electrical installations (ITC-BT under RD 842/2002), fire protection systems (CTE-DB-SI and RIPCI), and gas installations (ITC-ICG). IgeraIndustria indexes all applicable statutory inspection procedures, frequency requirements and documentation checklists, so the maintenance engineer can query exactly which inspection certificate is due for a specific piece of equipment and what documentation the authorised inspection body will verify.

What is FMEA and how is the Risk Priority Number (RPN/NPR) calculated?

FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) is a systematic methodology for identifying potential failure modes of equipment or processes, their causes and their effects on plant operation. The Risk Priority Number (RPN) is calculated as: RPN = Severity (S) x Occurrence (O) x Detectability (D), where each factor is rated on a scale of 1–10. A high RPN indicates a failure mode that requires priority action. In maintenance FMEA (also called FMECA when criticality is added), the RPN guides maintenance task selection: failure modes with high RPN typically receive condition-based monitoring, redundancy or preventive replacement tasks. IgeraIndustria indexes your FMEA worksheets and allows maintenance engineers to query which failure modes on a specific equipment tag have an RPN above a defined threshold and what the recommended maintenance action is.

How can IgeraIndustria support predictive maintenance with vibration analysis and thermography?

Predictive maintenance (PdM) relies on condition monitoring data to detect anomalies before they cause failure. IgeraIndustria indexes the alarm thresholds, trending criteria and corrective action procedures associated with your PdM programme. For vibration analysis, maintenance engineers can query the ISO 10816/20816 vibration severity thresholds for a specific machine class, the frequency spectrum signatures associated with bearing defects or imbalance for equipment in your plant, and the corrective action procedure when a threshold is exceeded. For thermography, IgeraIndustria retrieves the inspection procedure, the maximum temperature differential criteria for electrical panels and rotating equipment, and the criticality classification that determines response time. Links the PdM finding to the FMEA failure mode it detects.

What is ISO 55001 and how does it apply to industrial asset management?

ISO 55001:2014 is the international standard for Asset Management Systems. It specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving a management system for physical assets (plant, equipment, infrastructure). The key requirements relevant to maintenance engineering include: asset management policy and objectives aligned with organizational goals (cl.4–6), risk-based decision making for maintenance strategies (cl.6.1), lifecycle cost analysis for asset acquisition, maintenance and disposal (cl.8), performance measurement including MTBF, MTTR and OEE (cl.9.1), and continual improvement of maintenance effectiveness (cl.10). IgeraIndustria indexes your Asset Management Plan and links maintenance procedures to the specific ISO 55001 clauses they satisfy, supporting certification audits and management reviews.

How does IgeraIndustria help with spare parts criticality classification?

Spare parts criticality classification determines which components require on-site stock (insurance spares) versus just-in-time procurement. IgeraIndustria indexes your criticality matrices, equipment bill of materials (BOM), OEM recommended spare parts lists and supplier lead times. Maintenance engineers can query the criticality classification of any spare part, the minimum stock level defined in the spare parts management procedure, whether a specific component has an approved alternative supplier and what the OEM-recommended replacement interval is. For critical rotating equipment, IgeraIndustria also retrieves the capital spare strategy (e.g., strategic spare rotor assembly for the main compressor train) and the storage requirements for long-term preservation.
