4-SYTE provides you with the resources you need to track, budget, plan and prevent providing knowledge capture that is usable and readily available.

What is 4-SYTE?

An invaluable tool linking your critical systems to the technology resources you need


Having a unit specific risk and reliability plan of

action saves time and money.

Financial Facts

ServiceNOT Software

Providing asset and data management as a service rather than a software enables the plant personal to utilize their time in the wisest manner possible. Reducing confusion, costs and frustration. Consistent data entry by trained professionals reduces risk for error.

With 4-SYTE YOU possess the Key to having a program that works FOR YOU, instead of you working for it.

ASMEKeynote Comments

Over half of senior staff will be retiring by 2020. Knowledge capture that provides information that

is usable and readily available is paramount.

“ “

JAMES CHILESAuthor, INVITING DISASTER

Failure never happens out of the blue, it propagates from flaws that eventually link up.“ “

We need to look past design and towards innovation when it comes to safety and

reliability.

4-SYTE vs AWAREWhen comparing apples to oranges, one must decide if they want sweet or tart

Thielsch is an engineering company, not a software company. We create tools to make your jobs easier, so you can utilize your time in the wisest manner possible.

Aware is a Software

2-D Models

Data Management only

All Data Maintenance is plant responsibility (many plants contract this work out

resulting in increased costs and lack of consistency on data input)

Models CAN NOT be altered or updated with unit modifications or replacements etc.

Intranet Based, IT support required

Plant absorbs all costs for software upgrades, program enhancements etc.

If contracting out data entry each report can cost approx. $4,000 to enter.

Process and time for project implementation

Project Implementation


Project Implementation ProcessA unit specific program for continued safe and reliable service

Project Timeline:

Typical HEP project: 8-12 weeks

Typical CBM project: 20-24 weeks

Knowledge is Power…

Sir Francis Bacon

Data Collection Model Development Data Entry

Maintenance Risk Matrix Data Review

Required Documents:

Isometrics, Spool piece drawings, Material Specs, Hanger sheets, Inspection/Repair Reports, R-1 forms etc.

HEP Project Systems Included:

Typical project includes Main Steam, Hot Reheat, Cold Reheat and Boiler Feedwater Discharge Systems

19

CBM Project Systems Included:

Typical project includes Furnace, Superheat, Reheat and Economizer Systems


Unit specific targeted strategy

Risk Management


Targeted AssessmentsOur proprietary matrix utilizes over 80 variables to determine risk assignments then categorizes those risks into percentiles

based on number of components within any given system.

Budgetary Constraints

Historical Considerations

Design Limitations

% Success is dependent on effective safety and risk management

• System age, operation, materials,

access, stress, weld type etc are

calculated into risk assignment.

• System inspection, repair and

replacement history are calculated

into risk assignment.

• Unit outage intervals and life

expectancy are calculated into risk

assignment.

• A system specific plan is

developed with risk assignments

broken into 5 level tiers for

evaluation.
