3,500+ Active Work Orders Visualized Across 1,400 Linked P&IDs
Industry: Nuclear Energy
Region: Europe
Solution: Assai Viewport
Strengthening Operational Awareness in a Safety-Critical Environment
In nuclear operations, maintenance visibility is directly tied to safety oversight. Operators must understand not only what work is being performed, but how simultaneous activities may affect plant systems. At a European nuclear facility, thousands of safety-critical work orders were managed across SAP PM, OSIsoft PI, and engineering drawings. However, these systems operated independently. Detecting overlapping activities or understanding system-wide impact required manual checks and cross-referencing. In a nuclear environment, that lack of real-time visibility increases operational risk.
The Challenge
Maintenance information was distributed across:
- SAP PM for work orders
- OSIsoft PI for process monitoring
- Engineering drawings and P&IDs
Operators had limited ability to detect simultaneous work that could create safety conflicts. Correlating work orders, permits, and affected systems required manual intervention. The organization needed a governed solution capable of delivering continuous situational awareness across all maintenance activities.
The Solution
Assai Viewport was implemented to connect maintenance, process, and engineering systems into one real-time visualization platform.
The platform enabled:
- Live integration with SAP PM and OSIsoft PI
- Visualization of active work directly on P&IDs
- Automatic recognition of equipment tags and linked documentation
- Cross-system access to maintenance and engineering data
Manual checks were replaced with a governed environment that kept maintenance and plant information synchronized.
Results
The operational visibility gained was significant:
- More than 3,500 active work orders were visualized in real time
- Over 1,400 P&IDs were linked within the system
- More than 300,000 tagged items were connected across systems
The primary benefit was improved insight and enhanced safety oversight.
Strategic Impact
In nuclear facilities, situational awareness underpins safe and compliant operations. By bringing maintenance, safety, and engineering data into one governed operational environment, the operator reduced the risk of conflicting work and strengthened coordination across teams.
Assai Viewport now serves as the digital foundation for operational awareness and reliability improvement across its nuclear assets.
