Networks, stations, compressors: work order tracking that doesn't get lost.
Gas installations combine scattered equipment and safety devices that require rigorous follow-up. Work order reports, with measurements, photos and signature, remain available on each piece of equipment's record.
What makes maintenance difficult on gas installations.
- 01
Scattered installations
Pressure reduction stations, compressor stations and network structures are spread across a territory. Information has to come back from every site.
- 02
Recurring tasks to schedule
Visits, inspections and preventive tasks come back regularly. You need to know what has been done and what remains to be done.
- 03
Rigorous documentation
Every job on a safety device must be fully described and easy to find again.
- 04
A shared history
Operators, technicians and managers need to see the same information, without depending on a single person.
The equipment your teams look after every day.
Every work order is linked to a piece of equipment. Its history builds up with each job carried out.
- Pressure reduction and delivery stationsVisits, adjustments and corrective work.
- CompressorsPreventive tasks, failures and returns to service.
- Safety devicesRelief valves, check valves and isolation valves.
- Networks and structuresLocalized work on sections and structures.
- Instrumentation and meteringInspections and replacement of measuring equipment.
- Station utilitiesPower supply, instrument air, auxiliaries.
How the team uses MatxFlow.
For each situation: what the team does in MatxFlow and what it can find afterwards.
A task is planned on a pressure reduction station.
The work order is scheduled and assigned to the technician concerned.
What is planned, on which date and by whom.
The technician must record specific checks.
A dedicated form lists the points to check, the readings and observations, with photos and a signature.
A complete and consistent report.
Work is carried out on a safety device.
The work order is linked to the equipment and kept in its history.
The list of past work orders on that device.
A manager is preparing upcoming tasks.
They review the history and the closed work orders for each piece of equipment.
A factual basis for setting priorities.
One work order, from report to history.
A typical scenario, as it can be tracked in MatxFlow.
- 01
An operator reports an anomaly on a pressure reduction station.
- 02
The request is qualified and a work order is scheduled.
- 03
The technician carries out the checks and fills in the associated form.
- 04
The results and the condition of the station are recorded at closure.
- 05
The work order joins the station's history, available for future tasks.
Recorded data, indicators and analysis.
An indicator is only as good as the information entered in the field. What is recorded in MatxFlow, what can be calculated from it, and what requires other sources:
Information recorded
Entered with requests and work orders.
- Work orders per station, site or piece of equipment
- Checks carried out, readings and observations
- Attached photos and documents
- Completion dates and people involved
Tracking indicators
Can be calculated from the recorded data, in MatxFlow or after an export.
- Number of work orders per site and per piece of equipment
- Work orders completed and still to be done
- Request handling times, when the dates are recorded
Further analysis
Requires data that MatxFlow does not record (costs, production, operations).
- Correlation with network monitoring data
- Incident analysis across the network
- Regulatory follow-up specific to your activity
Scope: MatxFlow is neither a real-time monitoring system nor a leak detection system: it is used to organize, document and retrieve maintenance work.
