Sustaining Our Current Fleet - NAVSEA’s REDI system, supported by Impact drawing kudos from Navy
NAVSEA All Hands Email News – October 28, 2011
Admiral Kevin M McCoy, VADM Naval Sea Systems Command, SEA 00
“Southeast Regional Maintenance Center is piloting on board USS SIMPSON (FFG-56) a new shipboard maintenance assessment system using an iPad-type tablet called the Reliability Engineer Data Integration (REDI) system. The tablet is used to conduct the ship's pre-deployment Total Ships Readiness Assessment (TSRA) and contains the ship's pre-loaded configuration data to efficiently conduct research, maintain documentation, and create maintenance work notifications. We can now increase speed in validating, retrieving and disseminating information and eventually eliminate paperwork. This is a terrific initiative!”

WEMACS Earns Initial Operating Capability
Designation from the Department of the Navy
July 14, 2011
The Wireless Equipment Monitoring and Control System (WEMACS), implemented by Impact-RLW Systems, Inc., has earned its Initial Operating Capability (IOC) designation from the NAVY at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. IOC is typically attained when an organization has successfully installed, implemented, and maintained a useful asset for the NAVY. The WEMACS system provides a comprehensive, Shipyard-wide machinery monitoring infrastructure. The baseline capability is targeted a bridge and portal cranes, and it allows the Shipyard to collect and store operating parameters of these distributed assets. This data can then be used to automate maintenance workflow via enterprise asset management tools (e.g. eFEM) or estimate remaining structural life of the asset. An accredited data connection to NMCI is scheduled in 2011 which will allow the data to be shared throughout the Navy enterprise.
