Power plant work with many OEMs and their respective platforms, so they areoften faced with a complicated and uncoordinated view of the various equipment that they operate and maintain.
“We want to reduce complexity for our customers and for other OEMs alike and to lower the hurdles for getting payback from data,” said MAN ES’ head of digital and strategy, Per Hansson.
Members of mýa can access their digital assets via a single interface, which bundles their OEM data streams into one complete system view. Hanson underlined that “all data exchanges are of course strictly subject to permissions given by the respective users and members.”
As an independent non-profit organization the mýa platform is open to all equipment providers, operators and asset owners. “We believe that data is worth more if it is shared, instead of held closely. To protect security, business and compliance interests, the sharing needs to be controlled,” mýa states on its website.
Swiss funding
mýa Connection GmbH, headquartered in Switzerland, invested to kick start the initiative with the aim of developing the platform into an independent non-profit organization.
“Once more companies get engaged, the organization will take direction from its members, OEMs and equipment users alike. The intent of mýa is to remove friction points and help the industry to operate more efficiently, ultimately saving resources,” explained Dr Alan Atkins, Chief Executive Officer of the newly founded mýa Connection.
Atkin stressed the group is looking for additional founding partners who can “take a seat at the table and define the direction and development of the mýa platform and shape the future of data usage.”
