Your systems have been running for years. Their data is scattered all over the place.

ERP, Excel, file folders, and the expertise of experienced technicians: Without a central record, the search starts from scratch every time a job comes up.

Asset data scattered across ERP systems, Excel, and file folders
The history lives on in the minds of experienced colleagues
Duplicate entries across systems; details get lost along the way
The audit lacks documentation of what work was performed on the facility and when

All asset data in one place – accessible at any time

Everything related to your facilities comes together in one place in SIMPL: in the office, on the go, and right at the machine. And whether you call them machines, facilities, equipment, or resources, every asset gets its own file.

Digital File for Each Asset: Master Data, Documents, History
A history is automatically generated for every order and report

Access anywhere: Office, app, and QR code on the machine

"

Since the introduction of SIMPL, we have been systematically tracking our machines and equipment in the annealing technology sector. As a result, we now have complete transparency regarding our entire installed base, including maintenance records. Customer inquiries can be submitted directly via the QR codes on the equipment, and the tedious task of printing out manuals is finally a thing of the past.

Frequently Asked Questions About Enterprise Asset Management

What is Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)?

Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) refers to the management of technical assets throughout their entire lifecycle: from commissioning through maintenance and repairs to decommissioning. Assets include everything that needs to be maintained and documented; depending on the industry, these may be referred to as machines, plants, equipment, devices, operating resources, or objects. EAM software consolidates master data, history, documents, and work orders for each piece of equipment in one place, rather than having them scattered across ERP systems, Excel spreadsheets, and file folders.

What is the difference between EAM and CMMS?

A CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) manages operational maintenance: planning, performing, and documenting maintenance orders. EAM has a broader scope and tracks assets throughout their entire lifecycle, including master data, documents, history, and costs. In SIMPL, you don’t have to choose: The machine file serves as the foundation, and maintenance and repairs (CMMS) build directly on top of it.

What is a digital machine file?

A digital machine file (also known as a machine history file or equipment file) collects all information about a piece of equipment in one place: master data, service history, reports, photos, documents, and open tasks. In SIMPL, it is created automatically because every order and every report is saved directly to the equipment, and it can also be accessed directly at the machine via a QR code.

How do we add our existing systems to the system?

You can import existing asset lists via Excel, or alternatively, synchronize master data through an interface with your ERP system, such as SAP or Microsoft Dynamics. QR codes can be easily added to existing assets. Your personal contact will assist you with the data import during implementation.

Does SIMPL also work for machines located at our customers' sites?

Yes, that’s exactly what SIMPL is designed for. As a manufacturer or service provider, you can manage your installed base at customer sites just as you would your own equipment: with a file, history, and QR code on the machine. Your customers report malfunctions directly by scanning the code, and your team can immediately see which piece of equipment is affected. That’s how Weldotherm manages its installed base, for example.

How do we document what work has been done on a system during audits?

Every task, every inspection report, and every document in SIMPL is assigned to a specific piece of equipment and documented with the date, the person who performed the task, and the form’s contents. During an audit, you can access the history and supporting documentation for each piece of equipment with a single click, instead of sifting through file folders. Inspection deadlines with automatic order generation ensure that recurring inspections never fall past their due dates.

Does SIMPL support the requirements of the new EU Machinery Directive?

The EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 becomes mandatory on January 20, 2027, and, for the first time, allows manufacturers to provide operating instructions digitally. With SIMPL, you can store operating instructions, documents, and the complete history digitally for each machine, accessible via a QR code directly on the equipment. Together with the Digital Product Passport, you can thus create the data foundation needed to meet the new requirements. Important: The conformity assessment of your machines remains the manufacturer’s responsibility; SIMPL provides you with the digital infrastructure to support this.
