Equipment maintenance systems have been an integral part of production environments for decades.\u00a0 There is no denying the importance and benefits of well-maintained equipment.\u00a0 Prolonged asset life and reductions in both downtime and operating costs have turned maintenance from being viewed as a cost of doing business to vital part of being profitable.<\/p>\n

Traditional barriers to effectively managing the maintenance process have been in organization and documentation of the system used.\u00a0 Tracking each piece of equipment by last service date, frequency of service, scheduling of routine maintenance \u2013 all on paper – it becomes a full time job to maintain <\/em>the maintenance <\/em>system<\/strong>.\u00a0 Computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) software was developed to organize this information, and quickly became not only a way of managing upkeep; it has become a tool for improving maintenance performance.
\n
\nManagers utilize CMMS to track asset inventory, increase technician productivity, increase overall equipment effectiveness\u00a0 and realize longer equipment life.\u00a0 It allows them to make informed decisions about planned versus unplanned work and the list goes on and on.\u00a0 But the analysis used to make these decisions and increase performance is only as good as the data in the system.\u00a0 Paper work order systems still rely heavily on people to fill out all information on the order, return it and enter it into the CMMS in a timely manner.\u00a0 If any of this information is missing, erroneous or late then expensive decisions will be made without all the data.<\/p>\n

Integrating the information of your CMMS into a mobile application will alleviate this.\u00a0 Technicians can scan equipment to request previous service records, report problems, locate parts, and close work orders – all from a mobile device such as a handheld or tablet.\u00a0 This reduces response to failure times and increases the accuracy of recorded data, making your CMMS even better.<\/p>\n
