Optimal provides specialist support in implementing and optimising RDS-PP (Reference Designation System for Power Plants) to ensure structured, standardised, and scalable asset data architecture.
RDS-PP provides a consistent designation framework for systems, equipment and functions across power and industrial facilities. When implemented correctly, it enables:
- Clear asset identification
- Structured data hierarchy
- Improved maintenance planning
- Digital twin readiness
- Commissioning and operational continuity
Our RDS-PP Services
We support organisations with:
- RDS-PP hierarchy development and validation
- Asset register structuring and standardisation
- Integration with EAM / CMMS platforms
- Data cleansing and governance
- Alignment with ISO55001 asset management systems
- Handover support during commissioning
- Operational readiness data structuring
Our work ensures your asset data model supports maintenance strategy, reliability analysis, spares optimisation, and lifecycle management.
Enabling Digital Asset Management
RDS-PP becomes significantly more powerful when integrated with:
- Predictive Maintenance programmes
- ISO14224 reliability data standards
- Spare parts classification and optimisation
- Intelligent Asset Management platforms
- Commissioning and start-up readiness processes
Optimal ensures your data structure supports performance analytics, decision-making and risk management across the asset lifecycle.
Supporting Operational Readiness
During major capital projects, RDS-PP plays a critical role in ensuring asset information is correctly structured before handover.
We support:
- Data readiness audits
- Asset hierarchy validation
- Maintenance strategy alignment
- Spare parts mapping
- Commissioning data governance
This ensures a seamless transition from project delivery to safe and reliable operations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is RDS-PP?
RDS-PP (Reference Designation System for Power Plants) is a standard that defines structured naming and hierarchy for industrial assets, enabling consistent identification across systems.
Why implement RDS-PP?
RDS-PP standardises asset hierarchies, improves maintenance planning, enables reliable data exchange, supports digital twin readiness and simplifies lifecycle information management.
How does RDS-PP support commissioning and handover?
RDS-PP ensures asset information is structured and consistent during commissioning, enabling seamless handover from project to operations with accurate classification and IDs.
How does it integrate with EAM and reliability data?
RDS-PP hierarchies can be mapped to CMMS/EAM structures, ISO14224 reliability taxonomies and maintenance strategies to create a unified asset data model.
What benefits does structured asset data provide?
It improves traceability, reduces errors, supports analytics and reporting, enhances performance dashboards and strengthens governance across the asset lifecycle.
