DTE / NTH Greater Michigan Asset Tagging Project

NTH has worked with DTE Energy Company for nearly 50 years, providing various services throughout this time, such as Asset Management Services. In continuing this relationship, DTE contracted with NTH in October 2016 to assist in the Greater Michigan Asset Tagging efforts.  To provide some history, in 2001, DTE merged with Michigan Consolidated Gas (MichCon), bringing Michcon under DTE as a subsidiary.  Although Michcon sites, specifically in west Michigan, northern Michigan, and the Upper Peninsula (DTE Greater Michigan), have been part of the DTE system for many years, many of their “assets”, such as HVAC equipment, which are maintained by the DTE Facilities group in Detroit, have not been fully integrated into the standard DTE Facilities management system. 
 
In an effort to develop a comprehensive understanding of the assets at DTE Greater Michigan sites and integrate the Greater Michigan assets into Maximo, the DTE tracking system, NTH staff members, Phil Herout and Mary Koeger, spent eight weeks from November through January traveling to various DTE Greater Michigan facilities throughout the Lower Peninsula and Upper Peninsula locating assets on site.  To complete this project, NTH located equipment at the various DTE sites, entered the equipment information in DTE’s Maximo system, printed tags used to identify each piece of equipment, and placed the tags at each piece of equipment. In the future, DTE will use the tags to assist maintenance workers to identify, track, and maintain these assets.
 
Although the field work is now complete, NTH is working to create “Asset Plan” drawings for DTE.  The Asset Plans will show the location of each tagged asset on a building floor plan. The Asset Plans will be used by DTE maintenance personnel to assist locating specific assets in the field.
 
We want to send out a thank you to our staff members, Phil and Mary, and everyone who was involved in this project to make it a great success!
