Brief Description of Requirement

STFC's ISIS facility uses a particle accelerator to produce neutrons and muons which are used to carry out research in the physical and life sciences. The facility uses cutting edge technology and equipment to operate the accelerator continuously through user cycles, with planned maintenance periods approximately four times per year. The facility operates twenty-four hours per day during the user cycle. To ensure high availability and reliability of the assets within the accelerators, target stations and beamlines we require a software based CMMS / EAM system to store asset information, including its location which may be mobile, maintain the stores inventory and operate a maintenance and work order management system.

The scope for the computerised maintenance management software (CMMS) package is as follows:

- Plan a broad range of maintenance activities from reactive through to preventative and reliability centred.
- Schedule and assign maintenance activities, including shutdown scheduling.
- Manage the assets lifespan through their entire lifecycle.
- Track assets that are movable in their location.
- Management of assets spares, stores functionality.
- Produce reports and dashboards associated with asset activities.
- Associate safety procedures and documentation such as RAMS, PTW and LOTO.
- Shift Log allowing events during a shift to be recorded and exchanged between shifts and the equipment owners.
- Manage the calibration activities and analyse calibration data of assets through their lifecycle.
- Connect, communicate, and export data with third party software such as condition-based monitoring systems, spreadsheets, and external reporting software such as Power BI.
