Default Degradation Profiles
Brightly Predictor contains 12 preconfigured default degradation profiles, designed to be used in a number of typical scenarios. The default profiles cannot be edited or deleted, but they can be duplicated and modified. The 12 default profiles are:
| Assetic Lifecycle Profile A | A Concave Steep Profile applicable to assets with short to medium useful lives such as plant and mechanical items subjected to constant wear and tear and higher utilization and/or aggressive environments. This lifecycle degradation profile reflects the situation of an asset that is subjected to a moderate rate of consumption progression during the initial phase of its life and the rate of consumption gradually decreases as the asset is consumed. |
| Assetic Lifecycle Profile B | A Concave Moderate Profile applicable to assets with short to medium useful lives such as plant and mechanical items subject to constant wear and tear. This lifecycle degradation profile reflects the situation of an asset that is subjected to a moderate rate of consumption progression during the initial phase of its life and the rate of consumption gradually decreases as the asset is consumed. |
| Assetic Lifecycle Profile C | A Half-Parabolic Profile applicable to assets with short useful lives such as furniture and fittings subjected to normalized wear and tear. This lifecycle degradation profile reflects the situation of an asset that has a moderate rate of consumption progression initially and the rate of asset consumption decreases as the asset is consumed. |
| Assetic Lifecycle Profile D | A Linear Steep Profile applicable to assets with short to medium useful lives such as seals, protective coatings, which are subjected to higher utilization or aggressive environments. This lifecycle degradation profile reflects the situation of an asset that experiences a constant (but more accelerated) rate of consumption throughout its life, as compared to a straight line degradation profile. |
| Assetic Lifecycle Profile E | A Straight Line Profile applicable to assets with short to medium useful lives such as seals, protective coatings. This lifecycle degradation profile reflects the situation of an asset that experiences a constant rate of consumption throughout its life, often related to the asset's age rather than usage or utilization. |
| Assetic Lifecycle Profile F | A Linear Gradual Profile applicable to assets with short to medium useful lives such as electrical or mechanical items, and not subject to constant wear and tear. This lifecycle degradation profile reflects the situation of an asset that experiences a constant (but slower) rate of consumption throughout its life, as compared to a straight line degradation profile. |
| Assetic Lifecycle Profile G | A Crescent Profile applicable to assets with short to medium useful lives such as road surfaces, fixtures, which are subjected to higher utilization or aggressive environments. This lifecycle degradation profile reflects the situation of an asset that has a constant rate of consumption for the most part of its life, and the rate of consumption increases as the asset is consumed. |
| Assetic Lifecycle Profile H | A Invert Half-Bath Profile applicable to assets with short to medium useful lives such as road surfaces, fixtures. This lifecycle degradation profile reflects the situation of an asset that has a constant rate of consumption for the most part of its life, and the rate of consumption increases as the asset is consumed. |
| Assetic Lifecycle Profile I | A Reverse S Type 1 Profile applicable to assets with medium useful lives such as pathways, kerbs, structures, pipes, which are subjected to higher utilization and/or aggressive environments. This lifecycle degradation profile reflects the situation of an asset that has a moderate rate of consumption progression and after the midpoint of its lifecycle, the rate of asset consumption increases. |
| Assetic Lifecycle Profile J | A Reverse S Type 2 Profile applicable to assets with medium useful lives such as pathways, kerbs, structures, pipes. This lifecycle degradation profile reflects the situation of an asset that has a moderate rate of consumption progression and after the midpoint of its lifecycle, the rate of asset consumption increases. |
| Assetic Lifecycle Profile K | A Convex Moderate Profile applicable to assets with long useful lives such as pavements, structures, facilities, pipes, which are subjected to higher utilization and/or aggressive environments. This lifecycle degradation profile reflects the situation of an asset that has a slow to moderate rate of consumption for a large portion of its life, and as the asset is consumed, the rate of asset consumption increases. |
| Assetic Lifecycle Profile L | A Reverse Hyperbolic Profile applicable to assets with long useful lives such as pavements, structures, facilities, pipes. This lifecycle degradation profile reflects the situation of an asset that has a slow rate of consumption for a large portion of its life, however as the asset is consumed, the rate of asset consumption increases. |
