Mobile CMMS: 4 arguments to try Mobility Work

The technological developments of the last decades have had a definite impact on the manufacturing and maintenance sector (mobile CMMS for example). Among the main recent advances, we will mention in particular the printing of spare parts in 3D, connected sensors to improve maintenance management operations or even social networks that give the opportunity to exchange best practices, among others. Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things are on the verge of radically transforming business organization and the economic environment as a whole. Big Data makes it possible to adopt a preventive strategy, and the arrival of digital technologies, in particular cobots and additive manufacturing, is leading to a complete rethinking of the functioning of assets and production cycles.

The industrial world is particularly concerned by advances in terms of mobility and by the arrival of numerous mobile industrial applications, such as ERPs and computer-aided maintenance management systems. Mobility makes it possible to obtain more precision and speed in production, to improve communication, collaboration and, of course, responsiveness and compliance with deadlines.

However, despite all these advantages and the potential improvements that mobile technologies promise, many companies have not yet dared to take the step towards Industry 4.0 by adopting a mobile maintenance management solution for cultural, financial or management reasons.

Mobile CMMS: untangling what's true from what's false

Deploying an application is difficult

There are many solutions on the market that require IT training for users, or even involve the use of additional labor. That's what's different Mobility Work, the next-generation maintenance management platform: usability is at the heart of our solution, which is so easy to use and intuitive that it does not require any special IT skills.

Mobile maintenance management software is expensive

No need to spend thousands and hundreds on a next-gen maintenance solution: Mobility Work costs only 33 euros per user per month. Discover our prices here.

Your team will never get used to it

The main objective of Mobility Work was to create a maintenance tool that was supposed to facilitate daily maintenance interventions. Our application was created and developed by maintenance professionals who know the difficulties of the sector. Our customers generally highlight the ease and speed with which their team appropriated the asset management software, being convinced by the ease of use of the interface.

The main difficulty is that many companies from different sectors see maintenance as a cost center and not as a profit center. Maintenance management in these companies is based on emergency actions, which, on the one hand, causes a deterioration in the working conditions of maintenance technicians and, on the other hand, causes catastrophic losses for the company. The origin of the problem is often linked to the culture of the company and the lack of investment in the industrial park or in tools such as a reliable maintenance solution that would improve the management of maintenance operations.

appear very quickly in this type of company, because the tool completely and quickly transforms the daily life of the maintenance team.

The 4 main advantages of a mobile CMMS for your business

1. Improving spare parts management

For a technician, the search for spare parts can quickly become a nightmare: considerable loss of time, interruption of production cycles, etc.

The Mobility Work mobile app allows maintenance technicians to view all spare parts information on their smartphone, including store location, stock value, and technical documentation.

The integration of QR codes allows technicians to remove these spare parts by scanning them. They will also be able to improve their inventory management by updating inventory values from the mobile CMMS.

Businesses can also interface their ERP with their maintenance management software to allow maintenance technicians to access a whole range of information without having to connect to a software interface that is unsuited to their needs.

2. Better management of preventive maintenance routines

Preventive maintenance is effective, but can be difficult to set up. The advantage of Mobility Work mobile CMMS is that it allows maintenance technicians to quickly access all the operations planned daily from their smartphone.

Each operation can be associated with one or more checklists to be checked during machine maintenance. Technicians will also be able to receive real-time alerts concerning breakdowns on critical equipment and thus intervene quickly.

Simplicity, responsiveness and improved communication are the first results observed following the implementation of a mobile maintenance management application.

3. Continuous monitoring of maintenance operations

Monitoring all information in real time, via the Mobility Work news feed available on mobile or via a notification and alert system improves the responsiveness of all actors associated with the ongoing intervention.

The integration of multimedia documents (photos, videos, sounds, etc.) also contributes to ongoing maintenance operations and, if similar failures occur, makes it possible to provide additional information and reduce downtime. The information is then available at any time and in any place from a smartphone in Mobility Work.

4. Team motivation

Deploying a conventional maintenance management system can sometimes be long and painstaking, leading to time losses and difficulties in use, which are often the main reasons for the failure of such a project. Integrating a maintenance application is easier because it is an application similar to the one we use in our daily lives.

Technicians can thus take photos, scan QR codes and write comments directly from their smartphone. In general, organizing information is much easier on a mobile maintenance application than on paper or Excel.

The deployment of Mobility Work mobile CMMS, available on Android and iOS, gives you the opportunity to switch to a very dynamic maintenance process by offering you an easy-to-use tool that meets your needs.
