Following their wish to work with BI-Cycle, we integrated this business intelligence tool at TAQA. During the project it also appeared to be very effective to connect external data sources, which would eliminate a lot of manual work. Now the client is able to generate clear information in well-designed dashboards with just a click of the mouse.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_4'  class='avia-section av-13hv76-13fa49e260edc71a90f5fa99b1eff55f main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  page-section pt-0 avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-990'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kz42ixlp-440890e5585f9dbbcb6593799a84518a\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-kz42ixlp-440890e5585f9dbbcb6593799a84518a{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-kz42ixlp-440890e5585f9dbbcb6593799a84518a hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-9  el_before_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-first '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ufzpu-3831f75f2a468cce36744a4c49ed55a1\">\n.flex_column.av-ufzpu-3831f75f2a468cce36744a4c49ed55a1{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-ufzpu-3831f75f2a468cce36744a4c49ed55a1 av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_two_fifth  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-pr3gy-5ec01930136fef9163c9f2896ba174a0\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-pr3gy-5ec01930136fef9163c9f2896ba174a0{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-pr3gy-5ec01930136fef9163c9f2896ba174a0 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-pr3gy-5ec01930136fef9163c9f2896ba174a0 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-pr3gy-5ec01930136fef9163c9f2896ba174a0 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-11  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first  section-heading'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >TAQA in the Netherlands<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-k2ii2-86546c0e89e72d3416996e0564cfd7aa'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>In the Netherlands TAQA are a producer of gas and an operator of two gas storages. In Alkmaar the company operates and co-owns two underground gas storages called the Piekgasinstallatie and Gasopslag Bergermeer, which is the largest freely accessible gas storage in Western-Europe. Next to gas extraction in the region of Alkmaar, which is expected to terminate in 2024, the company is also active in gas production in the Nord Sea with several production platforms and a treatment facility<\/p>\n<p><strong>The reason<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the optimization of maintenance and maintenance plans it was essential to have a clear insight into up-to-date information from all available sources. Especially for the SECE\u2019s it is vital that information from different sources can be brought together in clear overviews. This requires business intelligence, meaning accurate information through a well-designed business information system. Jeroen Roodenburg, Maintenance Engineer at VectorMM, explains: \u201cTo achieve this, they wanted to work with BI-Cycle, a business intelligence tool that was already used at TAQA in the UK. The maintenance manager thought this to be a suitable solution for TAQA Nederland. Due to my experience with BI-Cycle at another operator, I took on this project at TAQA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>BI-Cycle for Business Intelligence<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>BI-Cycle is the name of a software product from a vendor with the same name. The software is specifically suitable for companies with high requirements for the reliability of their data. BI-Cycle is typically used at companies that already work with separate complex systems and data structures. The software ensures accurate merging and editing of raw data from different sources as well as clear presentation in overviews and reports. VectorMM has the expertise to integrate this tool into the existing systems from customers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jeroen: \u201cOne of the issues was that there was no centralized processing and presentation of the available data. The lack of central insight into specific processes made it quite difficult to further optimize the maintenance. Apart from the questions that rose from this challenge, it also turned out that the quality of the source data was falling short. To close the gap, the requirements for the reporting of maintenance tasks have been tightened up\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To make BI-Cycle work effectively it was essential to work back from daily practice in maintenance in order to establish unambiguity and consistency in the data. In definitions and working instructions as well as in the reporting of data in reports. \u201cDifferent teams used their own specific jargon and ways of working, while from IT-side there were also different systems in use. We really had to go step by step through the maintenance organization, which ultimately resulted in optimization across the complete chain. All to get useful, accurate input for the BI-Cycle tool\u201d, Jeroen adds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantages<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Next to more efficient monitoring of the SECE\u2019s, the team also implemented a work load forecast. This helped TAQA to change from continuous deployment to campaign-based maintenance, which in their specific case resulted in reduced costs and increased efficiency. Jeroen Roodenburg: \u201cWe will continue with the customization of standard dashboards for different users who in this way will have more information and insights into the processes that fall under their responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Achieved advantages: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Centralized information from multiple sources<\/li>\n<li>Ability to make fact-based decisions<\/li>\n<li>Huge time saving in getting insights<\/li>\n<li>Ad hoc questions can be handled faster and easier<\/li>\n<li>Significantly improved insight in safety risks<\/li>\n<li>Ability to set the right priorities in maintenance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-czzoy-051430c5533bc8534f5c96970ffeff05\">\n.flex_column.av-czzoy-051430c5533bc8534f5c96970ffeff05{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-czzoy-051430c5533bc8534f5c96970ffeff05 av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-9d7cy-6942915607663bdfffd465d2f2ab8b4c\">\n.avia-image-container.av-9d7cy-6942915607663bdfffd465d2f2ab8b4c img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-9d7cy-6942915607663bdfffd465d2f2ab8b4c .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-9d7cy-6942915607663bdfffd465d2f2ab8b4c av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-14  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  image-right-bottom-shadow'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-865 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-865 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/vectormm.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2.jpg\" alt='' title='2'  height=\"450\" width=\"565\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vectormm.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2.jpg 565w, https:\/\/vectormm.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2-300x239.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":987,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-990","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vectormm.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vectormm.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vectormm.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vectormm.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vectormm.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=990"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/vectormm.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/990\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vectormm.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vectormm.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
