About the Thickness Monitoring (TM) Data Loaders

The following Data Loaders are available in Thickness Monitoring:

Thickness Monitoring (TM) Equipment Data Loader
Thickness Monitoring (TM) Functional Location Data Loader

Throughout the documentation, these Data Loaders are collectively called the Thickness Monitoring (TM) Data Loaders. You can use them to implement Thickness Monitoring when you have thickness measurement data in a legacy system. To import data using these Data Loaders, GE Digital APM provides the following Excel templates:

Thickness Monitoring (TM) Equipment.xlsx
Thickness Monitoring (TM) Functional Location.xlsx

These templates support baseline Thickness Monitoring in GE Digital APM. You must export measurement data from your legacy system so that the data can be used to populate the templates. The data from the templates will then be imported into GE Digital APM using the corresponding Data Loaders.

Note: The Excel templates are referred to throughout this documentation as the data loader workbooks.

The data loader workbooks allow you to:

Create or update Corrosion Analysis Settings (CAS) records for an Asset (i.e., Equipment or Functional Location), TML Group, or TML.
Create or update TML Group records, and link each of them to an Asset.
Create or update TML records, and link each of them to an Asset or TML Group.
Create or update Thickness Measurement records, and link them to a TML.
