WHY UNIIEQ
Unlike retail products with barcodes, industrial equipment does not have a single source of truth. That creates fragmented, inconsistent duplicates of equipment metadata. This impacts projects and operations, causing downtimes, delays, and waste because equipment metadata breaks down across the value chain.
UNIIEQ captures the underutilized potential and fixes the foundation — how equipment is identified, described, trusted, and shared — so every stakeholder works from the same source of truth.
Why Identity Matters
Across capital projects and operations, the same pump, motor, valve, or instrument is:
- Named differently by manufacturers
- Re-tagged by EPCs
- Re-entered by operators
- Misinterpreted by logistics and maintenance teams
This leads to mismatches, rework, delays, and safety risks.
- From manufacturer → EPC → operator
- From procurement → installation → operations → lifecycle
- Across systems, projects, and organizations
- Operators: Confidence that installed equipment matches design and spec
- Manufacturers & Suppliers: One identity for every product
- EPCs: Fewer handover disputes and late-stage surprises
- Logistics & Supply Chain: Correct equipment, correct destination, first time
Data Standardization
Industrial data — it’s not unavailable — it’s inconsistent.
Today:
- Datasheets come as PDFs, spreadsheets, emails, and portals
- Attributes vary by region, manufacturer, supplier/vendor, and project
- Critical metadata gets lost between execution and operations
UNIIEQ standardizes equipment data without forcing everyone into one rigid format.
- Normalizes equipment attributes across manufacturers and categories
- Preserves OEM-specific intelligence while enabling comparability
- Creates reusable, structured equipment records instead of one-off documents
- Engineering & EPCs: Faster design validation, fewer clarifications
- Procurement: Apples-to-apples comparison across suppliers
- Operations & Maintenance: Clean, usable data post-handover
- Digital teams: Reliable inputs for ERP, EDMS, Digital Twins
Interoperability
The industry has an integration problem.
Every stakeholder runs different operational and run-and-maintain systems:
- ERP, EDMS, PLM, CMMS, WMS, Digital Twin platforms
- Supplier portals, project tools, inspection systems
UNIIEQ acts as a neutral interoperability layer.
- Equipment data that connects across tools and organizations
- Reduced manual re-entry and reconciliation
- Easier integration with existing enterprise systems
- IT & Digital Transformation teams: Lower integration complexity
- EPCs & Operators: Smoother handovers between project phases
- Manufacturers: One dataset powering multiple downstream systems
Reliability & Safety
Bad equipment metadata is a safety risk — not just a data problem.
When metadata is wrong or incomplete:
- Incorrect equipment gets installed
- Maintenance procedures don’t match the asset
- Spare parts are not compatible
- Compliance documentation becomes unreliable
UNIIEQ creates traceable, verifiable equipment records that teams can trust.
- Confidence that installed assets meet design and regulatory requirements
- Reduced risk of wrong-equipment incidents
- Better auditability across the equipment lifecycle
- Operators: Fewer safety incidents and operational surprises
- Maintenance teams: Correct procedures and parts, every time
- Compliance & QA: Stronger audit trails and traceability
Cost Reduction
Equipment data errors are silent budget killers.
They show up as:
- Re-procurement and expedited shipping
- Site rework and schedule overruns
- Downtime due to wrong parts or documentation
- Engineering hours lost chasing clarifications
UNIIEQ reduces costs by eliminating avoidable friction across the value chain.
- Fewer procurement and logistics errors
- Reduced engineering rework
- Faster project handovers
- Lower lifecycle maintenance costs
- Operators: Lower total cost of ownership
- EPCs: Improved margins and delivery confidence
- Manufacturers & Suppliers: Fewer disputes, faster onboarding
- Supply Chain: Less firefighting, more predictability
Case Studies
An operator inherits thousands of assets after commissioning.
Without UNIIEQ: Incomplete datasheets, mismatched tags, months of cleanup
With UNIIEQ: Structured, validated equipment records ready for operations, enabling operational assurance, parts generalization from the beginning, and reliable equipment metadata with critical relationships intact
- Wrong equipment shipped offshore due to naming inconsistencies
- With UNIIEQ: Identity-based matching prevents errors before shipment
- OEM data recreated repeatedly for different EPCs and operators
- With UNIIEQ: One authoritative dataset reused across projects and customers, with all updates and releases instantly available to operators and asset owners
UNIIEQ is not just a platform.
It is infrastructure for how the industrial ecosystem shares trust in equipment data.
When identity, data, and interoperability are solved:
- Projects execute faster
- Operations become safer
- Costs come down
- Digital transformation finally sticks
