THE CHALLENGE

Unplanned failure is the most expensive thing that happens to a plant

The repair bill is rarely the worst of it. Production stops, people are exposed to risk, and a regulator may want an explanation. Most reliability work is still reactive, and that's not because nobody cares. Without a way to predict failure or rank assets by consequence, there's nothing to prioritise against, so effort goes wherever the noise is loudest and risk accumulates quietly somewhere else.

Unbudgeted repair and emergency labour

Lost production

Safety and regulatory exposure

Assets ageing faster than they should

KEY CAPABILITIES

What ReliCore does

01

Failure event tracking

Every failure logged and categorised in one structure. Unglamorous, but it's the history everything downstream depends on.

02

Root cause analysis

Guided RCA that turns an event into a verified causal chain. The system drafts a suggested root cause and a 5-whys from the failure record, and an engineer confirms or rejects it.

03

Failure mode libraries

Configurable FMEA with RPN computed for you: Severity × Occurrence × Detection. Occurrence comes pre-filled from the asset's own failure history rather than from somebody's estimate.

04

MTBF and reliability modelling

Mean time between failures modelled with Weibull analysis and lifecycle degradation curves.

05

Predictive maintenance engine

The alerting actually fires. Degradation trends are fitted over metric history and checked against remaining-useful-life thresholds, and every alert arrives with the evidence that raised it.

06

RCM strategy optimisation

Reliability-centred maintenance analysis that lines maintenance plans up with asset criticality and the consequence of failure.

PLATFORM INTEGRATION

Where it sits in the platform

AssetVault ReliCore

Asset criticality and lifecycle data feed reliability scoring and failure mode modelling, so predictions are grounded in the register rather than in a separate list of equipment nobody maintains.

ReliCore TurnSure

Failure predictions and maintenance priorities inform shutdown scope, which is how a turnaround ends up addressing the assets most likely to fail rather than the ones easiest to reach.

Inspecta ReliCore

Inspection findings and defect records update the failure mode libraries automatically, so the models stay current without anyone re-keying them.

WHO USES RELICORE

Who uses it

Reliability engineers

Own the failure mode libraries, run the models, and review what RCM analysis recommends.

Maintenance planners

Schedule work and allocate people against predicted failures and asset criticality instead of a fixed calendar.

Operations managers

Watch availability and get early warning on the failure scenarios that would hurt most.

Asset managers

Track reliability over the long run and use it to argue for replacement or capital spend.

GET STARTED

Start with a reliability diagnostic

Engagements begin with an assessment of what you already have: failure history, current maintenance strategies, and how critical each asset actually is. That gives a baseline to measure against, and it usually surfaces a few things nobody expected.

Predict the failure. Prevent the loss.

Calibrated to your sector

Asset types and operating context differ enough that a generic diagnostic tells you very little.

A reliability baseline

Your highest-risk failure modes and the gaps in current maintenance, stated plainly.

A deployment plan

What happens from day one, with the sequence agreed before anyone starts.
