What is AiMS? -
Performance reassurance at your fingertips
AiMS is the Achilles interactive Management Server a service provided by C-Probe Systems Limited to clients who have installed a management system from the Achilles Suite.
The facility is accessed using the internet but through secure password controls. AiMS provides access to CAD archive and intelligent reporting for corrosion monitoring and protection of structures.
It can be used for single structure management or built-up to provide infrastructure management of, for example, a local authority's reinforced concrete bridge stock or a private client's portfolio of building assets.
The owner can provide access to information for third party opinion on performance or use the facility as the means to provide due diligence information on corrosion prevention during the sale of a building.
How it Works - An eye within your structure
An owner's AiMS site is accessed through the AiMS Login at www.c-probe.com by clicking on the top toolbar on the Home page.
A username and password must be entered at the secure login page before access to the portfolio of structures can be provided. Passwords may be changed regularly by applying in writing or online to C-Probe Systems Limited, subject to security checks being made.
Once into the portfolio page the specific structure can be accessed by clicking on the thumbnail photograph of the bridge, building or utility.
Information is stored relating to the installation archive (Installation & Commissioning reports, as-built CAD drawings, Operational data and Performance Reports). The CAD drawings can be manipulated to zoom into features, such as probe positions, anode layouts, wiring routes etc.
The Performance Reports are viewed in InfoAnalyser and can be provided in Executive summary form or you can use the drill-in features to sub-analyse zones and monitoring points.
These reports are refreshed every quarter with information uploaded from the on-site Achilles system that has been recorded according to an agreed schedule. Normally data are measured daily, weekly or monthly depending on the type of measurement being made and all this data is arranged in refreshed tables and graphs on a quarterly basis.
This provides the user with organised data from which to make critical structure management decisions or have the latest report to use for due diligence during a sale/ purchase.
An annual audit is performed and added to the archive for review at the user's leisure.
