Software Packages

Fleet Management

This module allows the management of units and assets within a hydro fleet or plant, visualizing the main technical characteristics of the plant’s units, the history of the units’ conditions, as well as the history of maintenance and downtime (Availability, MTBF, MTTR, etc.).

Users Management

This module allows administrators to manage user profiles, access levels, login history, etc. It facilitates secure and efficient user management, ensuring appropriate access and accountability.

Assets

As a hydro CMMS, common components are pre-integrated already, and users only have to enable or disable assets as needed. This module is ideal for maintaining an up-to-date inventory of all assets, tracking their status, and making necessary updates or removals.

Maintenance

Dedicated to preventive maintenance, it enables hydropower plants to efficiently plan and track routine maintenance.

Intervention

Dedicated to corrective maintenance, it enables plants to effectively address emergencies or failures.

Library

This module provides a list of common failure modes for every component of your hydropower unit with proven troubleshooting approaches, and root causes with recommended actions.

Drawings & Documentation

It helps you store and organize relevant documentation (drawings, manuals, old maintenance records, etc.) for any unit or its components

Continuous Improvement

This module includes features like “Lessons Learned” for capturing insights from work orders or “Root Cause Analysis” for investigating maintenance issues. It aims to improve operational outcomes by learning from past experiences.

O&M Best Practices

This module provides a compendium of best practices from experience, standards, and various guides relevant to the hydropower field.

Economics

This module provides top management with insights into O&M economics, including revenue loss and maintenance costs. It helps in making informed financial decisions and understanding the economic impact of maintenance activities.

KPIs and Budget

This module allows top management to access KPIs across 4 main categories (Financial – HSE – Plant – Social Impact). Performance tracking and budget management are facilitated to ensure goals are met.

CAPEX Projects

This module utilizes data from “Maintenance” and “Intervention” to streamline the planning and execution of refurbishment activities, ensuring timely and necessary upgrades to equipment and infrastructures.

Material Management

It enables to effectively manage materials, track inventory and it provides lists of reliable local and regional suppliers, wherever possible.

Tenders

Utilities can directly connect with hundreds of contractors, professionals, suppliers, turbine and generator manufacturers, and other specialized companies.

AI Assistant

AI Assistant is an AI-powered assistant trained in hydroelectric expertise. It answers technical questions, suggests maintenance actions, analyzes performance, and supports team collaboration through an internal chat system.

IoT & Real-Time Monitoring

This module connects SCADA and real-time operational data to TGM, giving plants full visibility of live equipment status. It enables predictive maintenance by automatically triggering work orders based on real-time conditions.

Digital Twin

The Resources module provides valuable electronic resources that operators can access at any time. This enhanced access to knowledge will empower hydropower staff to respond appropriately in a variety of situations.

Learn

TGM Learning offers a built-in training platform with pre-recorded courses, certification tracking, and hydro-related resources. Users can upload content and follow progress across their teams easily.
