Q: Can BI-Cycle analyze data from my database?
A: In the
Plant Information Data Mart section you can find a list of databases that are
supported by BI-Cycle. This list covers practically all
databases.
Q: Can BI-Cycle analyze data located in different databases?
A: Without a problem. It is often the case, in fact, that data
related to maintenance is residing in different databases in
different locations. This is no obstacle for BI-Cycle. Currently
Barsebäck Kraft nuclear power plant is using BI-Cycle on data
located in 5 different databases.
Q: Our CMMS runs on an Oracle database. Would there be any additional software requirements to link to this database?
A: No, BI-Cycle easily works together with all major systems on the market.
Q: The workorders in my database are not always filled out correctly. How does BI-Cycle deal with that?
A: Unfortunately, it is impossible to analyze erroneous or non existing reports.
BI-Cycle, however, has proven to serve as an incentive to improve the quality
of the reporting. With the direct feedback that BI-Cycle can give, maintenance
personnel is shown that others are following up on their reporting, resulting
in a higher level of motivation.
