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.
