The spare you need may already be on a shelf, maybe in another plant.

Spare parts search for maintenance and MRO teams. Partium Find identifies the part at the machine from whatever the technician has, and Partium Cockpit shows where it is stocked, at every plant. Proven at Deutsche Bahn.

Partium Find on a phone finds the same part six ways: from a photo, its label, a code, a few typed words, the bill of materials and its known attributes. Whichever way in, the result is the same part in your catalog.

AI Material Search · Partium Find

At the machine, start with what you have.

Partium Find identifies the spare part from whatever you have at the machine: a photo, a label, a code, a few words or the bill of materials.

Semantic Multi-Modal Search finds the part from the words you have, even when the record behind it is messy.

The nameplate of a Rexroth hydraulic cylinder is scanned and its text read; the search finds the part.

The label

Scan the label or nameplate, and Find returns results from the text on it.

The QR code and barcode on the part’s tag are scanned and the search goes straight to the part.

The code

Scan a barcode or QR code to go straight to the part.

A few words are typed into the search and it finds the hydraulic cylinder by meaning, with near misses beside it.

A few words

Type what you know: a few words, a function, part of a description. Find searches by meaning, not by exact naming.

The bill of materials narrows the search down the tree to the hydraulic cylinder.

The bill of materials

Use the bill of materials to narrow down a part that is hard to name.

A photo is taken of the hydraulic cylinder, its tag worn, and the search finds the part.

A photo

Take a photo of the part. Find matches it even when the part is worn, dirty or obfuscated.

Filters for the manufacturer, the size and the category narrow the results to one part.

Then narrow it

Narrow the results by manufacturer, dimensions or category.

Inventory Optimization · Partium Cockpit

Maybe it is already on a shelf.

One search shows where the part is stocked, at every plant, so you find it before you buy it again.

The criticality your team sets outranks the model, so a spare the plant cannot run without is not flagged as stock to cut.

Inventory Optimization, in Partium Cockpit:

  • Finds the plant that needs stock another plant holds.
  • Share stock, centralize it or pool demand across your plants.
  • Pools the demand for one commodity across plants, so it is bought together.
  • Dead stock and overstock, part by part, with the capital tied up in each and its criticality.
Stock value, dead stock with no consumption and over-stock; surplus at one plant sent to the plant that uses it instead of buying it again; and the demand for one commodity pooled across plants.

Obsolescence Monitor · Partium Cockpit

Before a part is discontinued.

See if a part is active, phasing out or obsolete, so you plan for obsolescence instead of reacting to it.

An alternative is proven the way your engineers prove it: by the spec, the manufacturer's part number and incoming inspection.

Obsolescence Monitor, in Partium Cockpit, does three things:

  • Shows which parts are active, phasing out or obsolete.
  • Gives the date that matters, while there's time to plan.
  • Names potential alternatives for parts heading for obsolescence.
Parts discontinued or phasing out, the stock value tied up in them, and the action each one needs.

Material Creation · Partium Cockpit

One part, one record.

For the storeroom, which keeps the part records: a new part is checked against your catalog before it is created. Material Creation, in Partium Cockpit, does three things:

Checks every request against your master, so a part you already have isn't created twice.

Fills in the attributes the record is missing before the part goes live.

Gives each new part its suppliers, lead times, a price reference and its lifecycle status.

The engine beneath

One engine beneath the search and the stock.

Partium Agent runs beneath every feature of Cockpit and Find. You work in the product; Agent does the work underneath.

You buy Partium Cockpit, Partium Find, or both. Partium Agent comes with either and is not sold on its own.
