Material master & spares cleansing

Clean your materials data. Find the spares you need.

Raven rebuilds equipment BOMs from vendor documents, resolves duplicate codes and prepares corrected material records for your system.

Bearings, gears and spare parts in a workshop tray
The problem

The part is in the documents. The record is incomplete.

A vendor manual identifies the bearing and the pump it fits. The material master holds several descriptions for it, while the equipment BOM may hold none. Finding the right spare means rebuilding those connections by hand.

  • One part held under different material codes
  • Equipment BOMs missing parts or referring to the wrong variant
  • Stock that is hard to find when a job needs it
The solution

Build the parts list from the equipment’s own documents.

Raven reads the vendor parts lists, manuals and drawings, then compares them with your material master and BOMs. It prepares the missing relationships and corrections using the part numbers and specifications it finds.

How it works

  1. 01

    Read the equipment and its parts

    Match drawing tags to the equipment list. Read vendor manuals, GA drawings and datasheets for part numbers, specifications and model variants.

  2. 02

    Compare with your current records

    Match those parts against material codes and equipment BOMs. Identify duplicates, missing links, wrong specifications and documented supersessions.

  3. 03

    Prepare the corrections

    Standardize descriptions to your codification rules, propose duplicate resolutions and build missing BOM entries. Attach the source page to each correction.

  4. 04

    Return the revised files

    Your materials team confirms the findings. The agreed register, material records and BOMs are prepared in the format your system needs.

Value for your team.

Avoid buying the same part twice.

See duplicate codes alongside the stock they hold before another purchase is raised.

Know which parts fit your equipment.

Connect the material code to the vendor part and the equipment that uses it.

Check spares before maintenance

Compare the parts a job needs with stock and open orders.

Verify the part before purchasing

Open the equipment’s vendor reference alongside the material code.

Keep BOMs aligned with changes

Re-check affected records when equipment or vendor documents change.

Data quality check

Start with one plant’s material data.

Start a data quality check

01What to send

  • Material master export, with stock on hand
  • Equipment list from your EAM
  • P&IDs, scans are fine
  • Datasheets, GA drawings, vendor manuals
  • Your codification standard, if you have one

02Findings back in days

  • Duplicate and obsolete codes, valued
  • Equipment with no BOM, or a wrong one
  • Spares coded to the wrong equipment
  • Tags on the drawings, missing from the register
  • Records that contradict their datasheets

Each finding includes its source records. A fixed fee. Your team confirms the findings.

The check shows the gaps and proposed corrections first. Raven can then complete the cleansing, or your team can run the work in Raven.
