Industrial assets don’t operate in isolation. Learn how SAP APM helps reliability engineers model, analyze, and manage complex asset systems.
Industrial assets such as solar plants behave as interconnected systems, not individual pieces of equipment. When reliability teams rely only on equipment-level views, it can be harder to identify emerging risks, understand how failures spread, and plan maintenance at scale.
In this e-learning, discover how Industrial Systems in SAP Asset Performance Management (SAP APM) help reliability engineers build a structured, system-level view of their assets. Follow reliability engineer Ben as he models a solar plant in SAP APM and uses Industrial Systems to support faster root-cause analysis, more accurate risk assessment, and scalable maintenance planning.
You’ll learn how Industrial Systems are organized according to the IEC/ISO 81346-2 standard across function, product, and location perspectives. See how to create, maintain, and update Industrial Systems manually, from templates, or through Excel import while keeping system structures consistent across your asset landscape. You’ll also explore how to manage system structure and lifecycle status, enrich system elements with functional failures and attributes, and connect them to real technical objects using Product Individuals.
By the end, you’ll see how Industrial Systems bridge operational insight and maintenance planning, helping reliability engineers turn complex asset data into structured, actionable decisions.
