Asset Reliability Insights
RELIABILITY ENGINEERING & INTELLIGENCE
Turning frontline intelligence into risk-based decisions
Equipment carers record valuable knowledge in work logs and reports every day. Much of it remains fragmented and underutilised. ARI turns these frontline observations into structured, consistent, auditable asset life stories and actionable engineering insights, helping you understand asset performance, uncover hidden risks and make better-informed decisions.

02
Structured failure history
Consistent, traceable evidance
03
Engineering decisions
Reliability, risk & priorities
Reveal
Reveal what the work reports contain
Recover failure information from frontline observations buried in work logs and vendor reports.
Understand
Understand how assets really performs
Connect records across time, assets, expectations and strategies.
Improve
Make better-informed decisions
Use structured evidence to support reliability, maintenance and risk assessments.
100k+ reports
20+ years
100% success
ARI was founded by Wojtek Majewski, whose 20+ years of experience across the full spectrum of maintenance & reliability engineering and 100k+ work reports analysed manually have shaped a practical, no‑nonsense, engineering-grounded approach to transforming messy field maintenance records into value for assets and people.
What ARI does
Combines engineering expertise with data science and language model assistance to consistently interpret and reconstruct lifecycle insights from fragmented maintenance records.
- Uses technician observations & reports as primary source
- Links failure events across work orders
- Converts free-text logs & reports into codified failure events
- Applies consistent classification across full operating life
- Eliminates analyst errors in interpretation of complex logs
- Maintains traceability back to original records
What’s the Outcome
A clear understanding of asset performance, based on actual field observations, enabling better decisions to achieve business goals.

Structured failure data you can use in your own dashboards or import back to CMMS
Applications – Where ARI adds value
Validate Assumptions – QRA, SECE, SIL, RAM, Strategy
- Validate (and monitor) major hazard barrier performance, support technical assurance with field evidence
- Verify reliability assumptions used in QRA / SECE Performance Standards, demonstrate compliance with the Safety Case regulation
- Demonstrate compliance with Functional Safety standard IEC 61511, replace generic with field data in SIL verification / as part of SIF performance assessment
- Demonstrate Class requirements are met
- Use true equipment performance in RAM models
Support Ageing Equipment Renewal
- Get ageing indicators, understand wear-out risks
- Plan / budget restoration based on evidence and risk
Identify Bad Actors
- Uncover repeat failures and causes
- Develop effective mitigations
- Population of same equipment type or related mixed
Optimise Preventative Maintenance
- Evaluate maintenance strategy effectiveness at failure mode and cause level, before and after strategy change
- Align effort with actual failures, redirect resources effectively
OREDA
- Share failure data in OREDA / ISO 14224 format
Same equipment type populations
- Shutdown, blowdown valves
- Deluge valves
- Fire dampers
- Fire & Gas detection devices
- Pushbuttons and switches
- Process instrumentation
- Control valves
- Rotating equipment
- Electrical equipment
Mixed equipment types
- Entire systems
- Smaller packages, e.g. air compressors, lifeboats
- Bigger packages, e.g. power generation sets, diesel driven fire pumps
- Various populations of critical equipment
Impact on Business Goals – Benefits
Assurance of meeting standards, validation of assumptions, risk reduction, unnecessary PM hours elimination, risk-based PM adjustments, vulnerabilities prioritisation, prevention of breakdowns due to wear out, benchmarking.
Safety & Environment
- Validation of assumptions for quantitative risk assessment
- Confidence that safety functions perform as assumed
- Early identification of hidden degradation and recurring failure modes
- Strong position during audits and regulatory reviews
Production & Availability
- Reduced unplanned downtime through targeted intervention, critical aging equipment renewal
- Faster identification of failure patterns impacting operations
- Improved availability based on actual repair performance (MTTR)
Maintenance & Cost
- Improve PM effectiveness
- Avoid over/under-maintenance by aligning PM with real failure behaviour
- Focus effort on assets that actually drive failures (bad actors)
- Better allocation of maintenance resources and spares
Planning & Investment
- Support decisions on PM frequency and maintenance strategy
- Identify ageing assets and renewal priorities
- Enable data-driven budgeting based on observed performance trends

Why ARI is different?
This is not a typical consultancy, big project, high expenditure, or a multi-week arrangement taking up your time.
Not another digital transformation, AI platform or software package, not more licence fees, overheads or other commitments.
This is a very practical, operationally-focused, targeted engineering service delivering cost-efficient benefits.
Expect easy and fast delivery with the highest quality insights.
How to start?
For example, a pilot to demonstrate value-adding insights using your own work history.
