APS™
Asset Performance Sustainment
Sustain performance. Reduce dependency.

WhAT IS APS™
Optimisation without sustainment is temporary. APS™ protects the value captured during KAPO™, prevents performance from reverting to baseline, and provides flexible technical resourcing for clients who need embedded engineering expertise.
APS™ is modular. You can engage the full programme or individual modules based on your needs. Technical Resourcing and Key Academy training can be engaged independently; no prior APA™ or KAPO™ required.


Module 1
PERFORMANCE MONITORING & SUPPORT
Always watching. Always available.
- 24/7 control systems support; remote and structured
- Dashboards built on your existing operational data (not new software)
- Stability and variability tracking against established baselines
- Early degradation detection; proactive, not reactive
- Structured support with SLA and dedicated customer service manager
Module 2
CONTROL GOVERNANCE
Protecting what works.
- Alarm management and rationalisation
- Change discipline; structured approach to control system modifications
- Operational philosophy alignment across shifts and teams
- Protection of implemented strategies against drift or undocumented changes
Module 3
CAPABILITY DEVELOPMENT
Building your team's capability. Not our dependency.
Two tiers within one module:
Engagement-Specific (Tier A): Practical coaching tied to your APA™ or KAPO™ engagement. Not classroom theory; real coaching during real operations. Structured knowledge transfer, operational criteria development, and the skills your team needs to maintain and extend improvements independently.
Key Academy (Tier B): Standalone professional development programmes available to any organisation. Designed to build advanced technical capability across process control, automation, AI/ML, and emerging industrial technologies.
Key Academy Programmes:
- AI-Augmented Process Optimisation for Engineers; APC + ML, variability reduction, constraint control, hybrid strategies
- Predictive Maintenance; Practical Implementation Workshop; failure modes, data quality, modelling approaches, PdM deployment
- AI for Automation & Control Engineers; ML fundamentals in PLC/DCS environments, integration patterns
- Edge Computing & IIoT for Industrial Plants; edge vs cloud, latency, architecture, cybersecurity considerations
- Digital Twins for Operations & Optimisation; where twins add value, simulation use cases, control strategy validation
Module 4
TECHNICAL RESOURCING
Your team, extended.
- Vendor-agnostic collaboration services; process control engineers, developers, and project managers embedded in your team
- Operates across all major platforms (Rockwell, Yokogawa, ABB, Honeywell, Siemens, GE, AVEVA/Citect)
- Can be engaged independently; no requirement for prior APA™ or KAPO™
- All personnel backed by Key's internal team of senior SMEs
MODULAR BY DESIGN
Implement APS™ fully or module-by-module. Technical Resourcing and Key Academy operate independently. The objective is to strengthen your autonomy; not create external dependency.
