Technology Overview
Operations and maintenance (O&M) can make or break a business - especially with today's rising energy costs. DSOMĀ® (Decision Support for Operations and Maintenance) is a patented expert O&M system that integrates plant operations, energy management, and maintenance processes. The DSOM package provides operators and engineers with the information they need including equipment health, real-time and long-term trending of critical operational parameters, and operational requirements for cost-effective operating decisions, creating savings in fuel, personnel and maintenance costs, and further cost reductions due to extending plant life.
DSOM has potential applications in nearly any complex engineered setting. Examples where it has or might be used include power plants, heating and cooling plants, computer data centers, water treatment, or energy/electrical distribution.
