Industry

Industrial information systems for the energy and nuclear sectors

Facilities with very long service lives, safety requirements, critical asset management: the energy sector demands complete control of technical data.

Power generation plant

The context

Electricity generation, transmission and distribution, the nuclear fuel cycle, new energies: facilities are designed to last several decades and are subject to very stringent safety requirements.

Control of technical data, requirements and asset maintenance is at the heart of performance and compliance.

IT challenges: energy

The topics that come up most often in our discussions with manufacturers in the sector.

Requirements and safety

Manage a large number of requirements and demonstrate that they are addressed from design through to operation.

Facility configuration

Keep the definition of facilities and equipment up to date over decades.

Asset management

Plan maintenance, manage spare parts and control operating costs.

Complex engineering projects

Coordinate many stakeholders on long, heavily documented projects.

The CNEXT expertise involved

We work on PLM and configuration management, ALM and requirements management, EAM for asset maintenance, and ERP, for energy producers, distributors and nuclear industry companies.

Our consultants provide consulting, business-side project assistance (AMOA), integration and application maintenance and training.

The role of each building block

  • PLM: product definition, bills of materials, changes and configuration.
  • ALM: requirements, systems engineering, software and traceability through to testing.
  • EAM / CMMS: maintenance of equipment and facilities, spare parts and costs.
  • ERP: purchasing, inventory, manufacturing orders, costs and business management.

Example assignments

  • Requirements and facility configuration management
  • PLM for engineering projects
  • EAM / CMMS for asset maintenance
  • Migration and upgrades of existing solutions

Our approach

We adapt our methods to the industry’s quality and documentation requirements: traceability of decisions, rigorous version management, formalised acceptance testing. Our consultants know how to work with safety, quality and engineering teams so that information systems support control of the facilities.

Every assignment begins with understanding your processes and the constraints of your industry. We then propose a realistic roadmap and support you as needed: one-off expertise, project support or reinforcement of your teams and those of your integrator. Our consultants combine business and technical expertise and are proficient in the leading solutions on the market.
