SAP Mobile Asset Management implementation

Skip to content

Getting the correct information to your workers at the right time can be challenging, especially when working in remote locations. A typical day starts with the workers visiting a central location to obtain their list of jobs for the day or week. Once issued with their work orders, time is often spent searching, printing and sorting work instructions, drawings and results from sheets, at the end of the day they spend time filling out paperwork. This is wasted time when they could be out maintaining critical equipment.

Asset Manager (AM) is SAP’s mobile application that was built to enhance the EAM area. It has been modified to work with AG’s own Smart Inspections solution so inspections can be carried out in the field in real-time without needing paper, allowing the office-based team to react quickly to any issues. It operates on iOS and Android platforms using the latest functionality of touch screen smart devices, such as Near Field Communication (NFC), allowing RFID tag information to be read in the field. It manages items such as Notifications, Work Orders and spare parts/materials – all from a tablet or a smartphone.

Every company has varying and bespoke needs regarding an Asset Manager or any mobile EAM product. These variations hold the key to efficiencies at the grass-route level. At AG, we have formulated three implementation options for SAP Asset Manager. Based on your business requirements, we will recommend a suitable option and work with you on your implementation. Backed with recognised expertise in SAP EAM, AG can empower you with connectivity, data accuracy, and improved efficiency.
