Being able to access your assets information has become more important and can give an edge in your industry. Some assets operations are vital to an operation and any downtime can result in major loses. Both in profit and productivity. That's where a
Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) comes in.
Having a maintenance software to manage this is one thing, being able to access the data from this system and act on it at any time is another. Implementing a maintenance system is not just a install and let run process. It's data and functionality will only grow if its users feed it the right information. Fed correctly it will reward the operation by determining the right times to maintain equipment, how much time, money and spare parts are being used on these equipment, and greatly reduce reactive maintenance.
We have seen systems transition from paper based maintenance, to elementary logging systems on computers to the now full blown maintenance system packages that also come with hand help devices. These devices allow users to monitor equipment in real time and make decisions on the spot.
Running reports and accessing KPI's is a godsend and in turn allows your personnel to concentrate on their jobs rather then deal with a book keeping nightmare, if there was not a maintenance system in place.
All in all,
maintenance software has become part and parcel of maintenance operations the world over and the introduction of hand held smartphones that allow real time access to data can only stand to benefit the operation even more.
If you want to get the most out of your investment in your assets, get yourself a reliable and easy to implement Maintenance Software
