What’s different about PS AIM?
Audit Trail
This feature allows users to track the history of a piece of equipment throughout its life cycle. Users are able to audit over 45 different fields to see changes to the database. With thi s feature, users are able to see which other user made each change to the database.

This view allows rapid navigation between equipment with convenient options using a right click menu.
Role Based Security Privileges are assigned according to role and resource. Some roles are strictly read-only or editing only. There is no access to any back-end database. Users can have many combinations of these roles, such as a cl erk who has a data entry role for one part of the plant and read-only rights to another. Security is managed by an Administrator, so roles may be altered.

Scalable, Flexible & Configurable • Custom reports • Customizable analytical settings • Many user-defined fields • Global filters • Single desktop to enterprise installation
Intuitive Navigation
• Fewer clicks to get to any information • Equipment based instead of module based • Visual indicators for data entry and analysis • Tabbed browsing
Real-time Calculations Calculations are performed as you change data in the software, not through a batch process when closing windows. Instant feedback is provided for possible data entry errors and high risk equipment.
Global Filter Allows user to view only desired unit, category, type, or other user defined criteria.
