A 360° view of the fleet, whatever the make
TodayOne piece of software per manufacturer, and no overview.
With MobapiThe equipment at all your sites, recent or old, side by side.
All your equipment, shift after shift, on one screen.
Equipment of every make and every generation, some of it at remote sites. Mobapi brings its status, the alarms, the shift log and the rounds together in one place. You know what is waiting for a decision, at every site.
What changes for operations.
A shared, digital shift log
TodayA logbook kept on site, which the next shift only sees when it arrives.
With MobapiEvery shift event is time-stamped and can be viewed from any workstation.
Digital rounds, with no re-keying
TodayReadings taken on paper and keyed in later. If at all.
With MobapiEntered on a phone, even with no network, manual readings make it into your systems alongside automatic measurements.
Remote sites, monitored like any other
TodayThey are the sites you see least.
With MobapiThe BOX runs over 3G/4G and keeps months of measurements if the link drops, then sends them once the network is back. See remote sites.
How Mobapi does it.
-
Mobapi.BOX connects to what is already in place
The BOX reads your equipment in read-only mode, without changing anything in the control system. The systems already connected are listed on the Legacy equipment page.
-
Mobapi.CORE normalises everything
It time-stamps every measurement and adds thresholds, alarms and history, even to equipment that reported nothing.
-
Mobapi.EYE, the everyday tool
The fleet, continuously updated, the alarms, the shift log and the rounds, on a computer, tablet or phone. More detail on the Platform page.
Proven in the field.
EDF in French Guiana, a client since 2017, across all its thermal generation assets. At one of its sites, all the site’s managers have adopted Mobapi.
100%
of the site’s managers were using Mobapi by 2019.
“With Mobapi, I have remote access to all the data from our gas turbines. We restore power and fix faults much faster. We save time, and we know our machines better.”
· Translated from French.Frequently asked questions.
How do you see equipment from several manufacturers on one screen?
By adding, on top of what is in place, a tool that reads each asset in its own protocol. Without it, there is one piece of software per manufacturer and no overview. Mobapi is not tied to any manufacturer: the equipment at every site, recent or old, sits side by side, with the alarms and the rounds.
Do we need to replace our machines or our existing SCADA?
No. Mobapi connects to what is already in place without changing anything, read-only by design: the BOX sends no commands to your equipment. Your assets and your SCADA stay in place.
Can rounds and manual readings go paperless?
Yes. Your teams enter their readings on a phone, along a route prepared in advance. The readings join the history of your equipment and can be viewed on the same screens. Readings already kept in a CSV or Excel file can be imported too.
How do you make shift handover reliable between two teams?
By replacing the logbook left at the workstation with a shared shift log, where every shift event is time-stamped. The next shift reads the entries from any workstation, with the asset, the location and the operator. In Mobapi, the shift log and the rounds are in the same tool.
How long before we see a first piece of equipment in Mobapi?
It depends on the equipment and on the network at the site. Tell us which machines you want to see first, and we’ll give you a timescale for your case.
Does a long network outage, such as a broken submarine cable, mean lost measurements?
No, if the collection unit keeps its measurements on site and sends them once the link is back. One day, a submarine cable broke: Mobapi’s BOX units kept their measurements, then sent them once the link was back. A BOX keeps up to several months of them.
Who sees what in the tool?
Each user has a role and only sees the screens and the data that role allows. Operators, maintenance and management share the same tool.
Show us your fleet.
Tell us which sites and what equipment you operate. We’ll prepare a demo on a case similar to yours.
