In regulated manufacturing, critical assets must be validated — and revalidated as they change — but validation often runs separately from the asset system. The Kneat Adapter connects Blue Mountain RAM to Kneat, so asset data flows between them and validation stays tied to current asset information. Validation Work Orders and documentation return to the asset’s record in RAM automatically.
The adapter keeps asset and validation data in step. When an asset is created in RAM, it replicates into Kneat, and recurring updates keep its attributes current in the mapped Kneat fields. As validation proceeds in Kneat, it creates and updates Validation Work Orders in RAM and returns the documentation to the asset record.
When an asset is created in RAM, it replicates into Kneat automatically, with documentation stored alongside the asset master record.
Recurring updates stream asset information from RAM into Kneat, with asset attributes mapped to the matching Kneat fields.
Validation activities carried out in Kneat create and update Validation Work Orders in RAM automatically.
Track each asset’s validation status directly in RAM, so validation state is visible where the asset lives.
Assess how changes to an asset affect its validation status, so validation stays current as equipment changes.
Validation documentation returns to the RAM asset record, building a comprehensive validation history visible in both systems.
Most teams keep asset data and validation in separate systems, kept in step by hand. The Kneat Adapter syncs them continuously and returns validation results to the asset record.
| Industry Standard Approach | Blue Mountain Approach |
|---|---|
| New assets entered into the validation system by hand | New assets in RAM replicate into Kneat automatically |
| Asset changes updated in the validation system manually, if at all | Recurring updates keep Kneat current, with attributes mapped to Kneat fields |
| Validation status tracked outside the asset system | Validation status is tracked directly in RAM |
| Validation work logged separately from asset work orders | Kneat validation activities create and update Validation Work Orders in RAM |
| Validation documents filed apart from asset records | Validation documentation returns to the RAM asset master record |
