The Modules

RoadAsyst®, PathAsyst, BuildingAsyst and BridgeAsyst® are products developed specifically for managing the inspection and maintenance of defects to minimise the asset owners liability with respect to potential accidents caused by those defects. It can be used to plan pro-active regular inspection and maintenance regimes or to record, inspect and manage individual defects as they are found and reported. The program incorporates risk-based prioritisation of defects for attention. The enhanced reporting functions provide managers with a number of compliance reporting formats that will help to prioritise works better and report to corporate decision makers.

The Integrated Map provides a further critical tool for managers to plan and make decisions for all types of activities. The map can be made accessible to all users in both office and field locations and provides an easy way to navigate and operate AssetAsyst®.

The Custom Assets module allows you to define your own custom asset types. These asset types can have a variety of behaviours and methodologies.

The Mobile App allows inspections to be carried out on mobile phones and tablets.

The Predictive Modelling module provides a means to predict the future condition, financial value, and ultimately life expectancy of assets.

The Heavy Vehicle Route Assessment module automates the testing of heavy vehicles over bridges.
