Capabilities / Data Platforms

Enterprise Data Platforms

Unify ERP, EAM, historian, and OT data to power reliable asset decisions and clean material records.

Astrid Partners architects reference data platforms that integrate SAP PM/MM, plant historians, sensor streams, and maintenance records, giving reliability engineers, planners, and procurement teams a single, trusted source of truth.

From prior engagements

25%+

Duplicate materials eliminated

Average material master deduplication rate, improving MRP accuracy and procurement efficiency.

30 days

Time to governed data products

Time to unlock trusted asset and materials data for maintenance and procurement teams after engagement start.

3–15×

Return on engagement fee

From working capital and procurement savings tied directly to cleaner materials and MRP.

How We Approach This

What makes this work.

The mechanics behind our engagements: what separates a diagnostic that produces a real business case from one that produces a slide deck.

Pre-built asset domain models

Data models for equipment hierarchy, functional location, BOM, and spare parts that compress deployment from months to weeks across plants.

Material master governance that holds

Automated deduplication, classification, and quality scoring. Not a one-time cleanup. Built to keep records clean as new materials enter the system.

Secure OT/IT connectivity

Zero-trust connectivity from shop floor historians and PLCs to enterprise data platforms, with continuous monitoring and no operational disruption.

Decision products, not dashboards

Asset health, work order analytics, and inventory visibility packaged with role-based KPIs, built with maintenance teams, not handed to them.

What We Deliver

The work, scoped
and priced to move.

Each offering below is designed to produce a specific deliverable, not an ongoing program. We scope to outcome, not to time-and-materials.

Platform Strategy & Roadmap

Define the architecture, data products, and operating model needed to connect asset, maintenance, and materials data.

  • Asset data landscape assessment
  • SAP PM/MM and EAM integration architecture
  • Material master governance roadmap
  • Operating model & data ownership plan

Modern Data Foundation

Build ingestion, modeling, and governance pipelines for OT, ERP, and CMMS data with reusable accelerators.

  • Historian and sensor ingestion
  • SAP PM/MM data extraction and modeling
  • Semantic layers for asset and materials
  • Automated cataloging and quality checks

Asset & Materials Data Products

Co-create decision-ready data products with maintenance, reliability, and procurement teams.

  • Equipment health and failure data products
  • BOM and material master clean-up products
  • Spare parts demand and inventory data
  • MRP variable and exception analytics

Platform Operations

Run, optimize, and continuously improve data platforms with dedicated SRE and data quality disciplines.

  • 24/7 monitoring and support
  • Material master stewardship workflows
  • Data quality scoring and alerting
  • Lifecycle management and cost governance

How we build it

From assessment to scaled operations across asset domains in 90-day increments.

01

Foundational Assessment

Inventory ERP, EAM, historian, and CMMS data sources; benchmark material master quality; define reference architecture.

02

Pilot & Productization

Stand up core platform, deliver first asset health and materials data products, and establish governance intake.

03

Scale & Operate

Expand to additional plants and domains, automate material master deduplication, and transition to co-managed operations.

In Practice

Global Specialty Metals Producer

Replaced fragmented SAP MM and historian feeds with a unified data mesh spanning 14 plants, eliminating 28% of duplicate material records and giving maintenance teams real-time asset health visibility.

Outcome

Single source of truth across 14 plants in 4 months.

Find out what your data can already tell you. Start by connecting it.

A diagnostic engagement runs 6–8 weeks and returns a prioritized roadmap with a dollar value on every initiative. If we can't see a clear path to 10× return on our fee, we won't take the work.
