SPIR
A collaborative platform ensuring efficient data flow, governance and transparency
About
The new digital SPIR solution is a collaborative platform between operators, contractors and suppliers, to ensure efficient data flow, governance, and transparency between all entities in the SPIR process
SPIR, (“Spare Parts and Interchangeability Record”) is ensuring spare part recommendations for projects, modifications and operations.
The SPIR process consists of activities from Operators, Contractors, and Suppliers, and needs to be delivered to support repair- and maintenance strategy for equipment units.
This is currently an ongoing project with participants from Operators, Contractors, and IT developer, whom are specifiying functional requirements, supporting application development, as well as performing testing activities.
By shifting from the traditional SPIR process using excel sheets, operators, contractors and suppliers can;
- Standardize workflow, roles and responsibilities
- Improve communication between Operators, Contractors and Suppliers through on common interface
- Enhance the data quality
- Reduce the time spent on SPIR
- API’s with EqHub and ERP systems allows for efficient flow of data
Roadmap
01.2024:
The project is in the piloting phase of the MVP for SPIR with users from Emerson, Score and IKM Flux
12.2023:
The project is in the user acceptance testing (UAT) of the MVP for SPIR to verify that all functional requirements are met

The SPIR process
A brief history of the SPIR process
The first SPIRs were handwritten:
Later, Excel sheets were used:
Today, one common platform for SPIR processing, integrating dadta from EqHub and ERP systems is used:

EqHub serves as a single, controlled, central source of vendor documentation.
FAQ
When will the service be launched?
Will suppliers have to provide spare part information both in EqHub and SPIR?
How can we get involved in the intiative?
