CAPE-SAFE Utilization with Fault Detection System

CAPE-SAFE Utilization with RCM-Based CMMS 

When failure is reported within the maintenance domain, this will initiate a call to CAPE-SAFE to investigate the possible root causes and consequences, which will be reported back to maintenance system. This information is essential to optimize the maintenance work, by identifying the risk and failure details. 

To implement this approach it is required to develop automated modeling environment that maintain the plant model elements and support the representation and manipulation of the different models within the plant enterprise. For that, the book highlighted the design framework of a computer-aided plant enterprise modeling environment called CAPE-ModE , which is based on the object-oriented modeling and UML. 

As safety data, knowledge, and information are highly related to plant design and operation, as well as other activities within the plant enterprise like maintenance, so it is essential to design means of integration among the different components within the plant enterprise. 

This has been highlighted as part of the high level specifications of the plant enterprise engineering environment PEEE.
