Breaking Changes

The following sections provide more details on the breaking changes introduced for release 2023.8.0.

FMECA (Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis)

On the Asset and Asset Type FMECA resources we split off the task and functional description fields into detail resources. It is now also possible to have multiple tasks and functions per Asset and Asset Type FMECA.

Impacted Areas

API	Resource
AMPC.ASSETS	Asset Type Fmeca Asset Type FMECA Task Asset Type Function
AMPC.ASSETTYPES	Asset Fmeca Asset FMECA Task Asset Function

Context

Asset Type and Asset FMECA's enable a user to analyse specific asset type and asset component failures. During failure analysis, an asset/component is examined to detect and analyse the causes, probabilities, and consequences of actual or potential failures. Failure analysis determines the ways in which a component can fail and identifies tasks that must be performed to prevent the failures from occurring.

The breaking changes on the Asset (Type) FMECA API is as a result of splitting out the Task and the Function into detail resources. The detail Task and Function API endpoints must now be used to add/modify Tasks or Functions.

Asset Type FMECA Task and Asset FMECA Task

The new FMECA Task resources will allow users to create and add multiple tasks and/or functions to an asset type or asset FMECA in order to prevent the failures from occurring. Previously the FMECA was limited to a single Task.

Asset Type & Asset Function

Each asset and component provides a certain function and these identified functions are what we try to prevent from failing. In essence it’s not so much about the asset and component itself, but about their function that can’t be lost or deteriorate.
