Adopt a CMMS to prepare for your start of maintenance

The month of September gives way to take stock: at the end of this essential stage that is theTechnical stop, the time has come to deploy a CMMS software to approach this new school year with peace of mind.

Asset management, fluid communication, information exchange, better visibility on the operations carried out, improved production, implementation of a new industrial maintenance strategy... These are all arguments that prove that factories have everything to gain by opting for a new generation platform that is mobile, intuitive, intuitive, easy to use and, above all, capable of responding to their needs.

Draw up a post-technical shutdown report

After this pivotal period that constitutes the technical shutdown, a trying moment that many factories are experiencing, companies are ready to resume their activity and to develop their productivity to meet their production objectives. Generally, the The month of August is devoted to the refurbishment of equipment or even buildings, to the maintenance or replacement of machines or even to the inventory and then to the order of spare parts.

This period presents certain challenges and requires a large organization between the various services, in order to achieve a optimal coordination between maintenance managers, external service providers and purchasing staff. The repercussions of the technical shutdown are numerous and, at the end of August, industrial maintenance teams must be in a position to return to their posts to approach this new school year as calmly as possible.

What is better then than the month of september to turn to a CMMS (computer-aided maintenance management) solution that can, among other things, save you time and help you optimize and improve your production?

Equipping teams with a CMMS: a prerequisite for optimized industrial maintenance

The obsolescence of traditional CMMS

So it's time to take stock: the traditional maintenance management software are very expensive and difficult to adopt by the teams directly concerned in the field. They are often difficult to use and generate a waste of precious time. This is a particularly good time to draw such conclusions and to reflect on how the teams have managed the maintenance of the machine park up until now.

Some factories are not equipped with software at all and can only see the hardships generated by such a configuration: poor communication within the teams and between the various technicians who take turns, loss of crucial information on the interventions carried out, lack of daily, weekly or monthly visibility, little monitoring of general maintenance needs in the factory... These are all black spots that affect your productivity and can have dramatic consequences on your production lines and on the entire activity of the structure.

Maintenance should not escape digitalization

New-generation CMMS software is now much more adapted to current needs of factories since they allow you to start a digital transition calmly by rethinking the uses of field teams. The benefits of a new generation platform like Mobility Work are multiple and sources of improvement at many levels: team flexibility, better resource management, fluid communication between teams and the elimination of information losses, speed of intervention...

Mobility Work is also available in SaaS on PC, tablet and mobile, which means that technicians can fill in their CMMS without going back and forth to the office: once in front of the equipment on which they must work, they just need to scan the QR code previously installed on the machine to access the equipment sheet recorded in the application. They can also tag their colleagues on interventions: they will receive a notification informing them of a need on a machine.

The Mobility Work maintenance platform is also community, which means that technicians are proactive and communicate easily with each other. Thanks to its intuitive interface and the news feed it is equipped with, the solution allows users to visualize, in a few seconds, all the activity of their factory.

Mobility Work allows operators and technicians to be autonomous: news feed, task creation, maintenance plans, notifications for each new activity...

You also have the possibility to share your maintenance data at the level of the factory, the industrial group or the entire Mobility Work community, depending on the parameters you have chosen. Such next-generation software makes it possible to rethink maintenance and helps teams to adapt their strategy according to their needs.

Approaching the start of the maintenance season with peace of mind

Precisely for this purpose and to capitalize on all the refurbishment work carried out during the summer, maintenance managers can offer their teams a new adapted maintenance management tool.

By choosing to deploy an intuitive CMMS adapted to the needs of users, whether technicians, managers and service providers, you can launch your business at full speed during this back-to-school period. Teams will be able to register their entire fleet of equipment in the solution and obtain all the information they need in a few clicks, from their smartphone or tablet.

At the same time, this is a good time to think about the industrial maintenance strategy you want to apply, since the period is ideal for drawing conclusions from your operations.

Find an analytics tool in Mobility Work to analyze all your maintenance data and adapt your strategy

Thanks to Mobility Work, You access a Dashboard in the tool, which, thanks to the information entered into the platform by users, aggregates this data: the most performed tasks, the most problematic equipment, repairs most often carried out, the most active users... All indicators that show you the potential faults inherent in your production and that help you adapt your maintenance to move towards a preventive or predictive strategy. Thanks to the solution, you ultimately instill a feeling of novelty among the teams for which it is intended.
