Every industry needs the ability to capture certain anomalies and report on these. In HxGN EAM this usually relates to Equipment that needs repair or preventive maintenance and is handled through a work order. But what if the anomaly you are recording does not need an immediate fix? Think of a small crack in the road surface, initial corrosion of a steel pipe, or minor wood rot.
Even though there may not be a need to repair the anomaly, you may still want to track it and see how it develops over time. The crack may worsen until it is so big it starts to form a danger for the traffic. The corrosion will continue and eventually impact the integrity of the pipe and cause leakage or even an explosion. And the wood keeps rotting increasingly and will put people in danger when eventually the deck collapses.
In HxGN EAM you can track these anomalies and their development over time on the nonconformity screens.
