What Is a Technical Asset Audit?

A technical asset audit is a comprehensive evaluation of the technical condition of machinery and equipment in an industrial facility. Its goal is not to provide consulting but to objectively verify the condition of the assets and analyze their impact on the plant’s energy and operational efficiency. The audit is conducted in accordance with current legal and technical standards, enabling the identification of areas for energy performance improvement.

Scope of the Technical Asset Audit

  • Inventory of technical assets – identification and classification of machinery and production equipment.
  • Thermographic measurements – detection of heat loss, component overheating, leaks, and failures.
  • Analysis of electrical network parameters – measurements of voltage, current, power factor, and harmonic distortions.
  • Assessment of energy efficiency – identification of high energy consumption equipment and verification of energy loss areas.
  • Audit report – a document summarizing measurement results and analyses, including conclusions about technical condition and potential optimization actions.

Audit Process Steps

  1. Preparation: Collecting input data and defining the scope of the audit.
  2. Inventory: Registering all devices covered by the audit scope.
  3. Measurements and analysis: Using thermal imaging cameras and network analyzers.
  4. Technical evaluation: Verifying proper functioning of equipment and analyzing energy losses.
  5. Reporting: Developing documentation containing results and observations.

Benefits of a Technical Asset Audit

  • Improved energy efficiency through loss identification and reduction.
  • Reduced operating costs by optimizing energy usage.
  • Extended equipment lifespan through regular technical assessments.
  • Compliance with legal regulations related to energy efficiency and safety.
  • Increased reliability of equipment and fewer breakdowns.

* Note: The audit excludes machinery categories listed in Annex IV of Directive 2006/42/EC, including vehicle servicing lifts.
