What is Asset Performance Management?
Optimizing plant operations
Asset Performance Management (APM) is a suite of software and services designed to help optimize equipment reliability and O&M efficiency across the plant and the entire fleet. Featuring Digital Twin analytics, work process automation and built-in GE expertise, APM is the backbone of modern power generation operations.
APM’s rich functional pillars for Health, Reliability and Asset & Maintenance Optimization are available both as a cloud-based service on the Predix Platform as well as on-premises software.

Strategies to Reduce Power Generation O&M Costs
Discover ways to reduce costs while assuring plant reliability. This is a GE Digital on-demand webinar.
Enable continuous improvement
Monitor
Reduce unplanned downtime and increase availability and reliability by helping to ensure critical assets and systems are monitored and protected from emerging threats.
Improve productivity
Improve workforce productivity by prioritizing maintenance based on criticality and cost (condition-based), rather than schedule-based maintenance practices.
Manage risk
Protect the health and safety of employees, the environment, and business objectives, by reducing asset-related incidents and unplanned downtime.
Predictive maintenance
Reduce costly emergency repairs by detecting problems early, turning unplanned downtime into planned/scheduled downtime.
Lower total cost of ownership (TCO)
Reduce TCO delivered via a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, providing flexibility and access to business insights where it matters—with edge, cloud, and hybrid configurations.
Faster time-to-value
A standardized way to connect machines, data, and people with a consistent interface for superior user experience, dynamic scalability, and extendibility to grow functionality as business needs evolve.

Digital Twin analytics for predictive maintenance
GE SmartSignal provides the Digital Twin analytics, alerting and analysis tools at the core of the APM solution. Unique predictive, diagnostic, and forecasting analytics work together to detect emerging issues, identify the cause, and indicate the required timeframe for action. SmartSignal data, alerts and results are an integrated component of APM Health dashboards, APM Reliability and other APM functions.
Comprehensive asset health monitoring
APM Health Manager provides a unified comprehensive view of asset health, featuring drill-down views of performance data, alerts, performance KPIs and more. Dashboards are powered by APM’s robust OT/IT data collection, EAM/CMMS integration and policy rules engine. For manual data collection, APM Health includes APM Rounds – a versatile mobile application that guides and digitizes data collection and other O&M activities.
Analytics-driven asset reliability
Featuring rich Digital Twin blueprints and SmartSignal machine learning analytics, APM Reliability provides visibility and analysis of asset performance, trends and predictive alerts. With built in workflows for root-cause analysis, reliability management and collaboration, APM Reliability allows operators to proactively detect and correct emerging issues while driving long term performance improvements.
Optimized asset & maintenance strategy
With features including criticality and risk analysis, lifecycle cost analysis, EAM integration, RCM, and FMEA, APM Asset & Maintenance Optimization (AMO) allows you to build optimal O&M strategies with full views to availability, reliability, risk and cost factors. By packaging pre-built GE industry expertise with the rich functionality of the standard APM Strategy module, AMO can help you to rapidly meet your operational and business goals.
Standard O&M workflows with built-in GE expertise
APM is built to drive standard power generation processes from O&M workflows to strategic planning.
