Improving agricultural maintenance thanks to CMMS

4.0 CMMS and agricultural maintenance

Why can a 4.0 CMMS help the agricultural sector when it plays a major role in the economy? Its smooth functioning depends as much on natural climate cycles as on the emergence of scientific and technological innovations. From the first seed sown to the finished product, the production chain includes farmers, complex equipment and infrastructures, all elements that can be perfectly coordinated thanks to a reliable maintenance solution, which will guarantee the proper functioning of the machine park.

Farmers, pressured by fluctuating weather conditions, fierce competition and demanding consumers, are doing everything they can to increase reliability and efficiency. Opting for a modern maintenance application can significantly increase the availability of equipment used for seeding and crops and thus maximize returns on investment and streamline all maintenance processes.

A next-generation 4.0 CMMS can greatly facilitate the management of agricultural maintenance thanks to a wide range of functionalities to set up, manage, and program a predictive maintenance routine.

What challenges does this sector face?

As farmers are subject to the vagaries of the climate, they are subject to very strict time constraints and must therefore be able, among other priorities, to guarantee the reliability and availability of equipment over very specific time slots. Indeed, a deficient machine could, for example, cause considerable damage to soils and crops.

Among the many other challenges faced by the sector are both the complex and constantly evolving regulatory requirements that farmers must deal with, as well as planting processes and crop quality.

Mobility Work, the new generation of CMMS 4.0, offers a reliable solution that meets all the needs of the sector.

Sowing the seeds of change to improve your maintenance

Preventive maintenance

For a preventive maintenance program be effective, it must take into account programming and the carrying out of regular checks to identify and resolve potential underlying problems that could trigger breakdowns. One of the main goals of a 4.0 CMMS is to ensure the good condition of your assets by automating all work orders and preventive maintenance checks.

The calendar feature offered by Mobility Work allows you to plan all your preventive and predictive maintenance interventions..

Team Management

A 4.0 CMMS gives you better visibility of the performance of your team members, allows you to easily track tasks and, if necessary, to better distribute resources according to needs. Everyone can follow the work of their team simply by connecting anytime, anywhere, and on any electronic device. Work orders can be generated automatically and task scheduling is very flexible and can be adapted as standards change.

security

La operator safety is a key concept in today's computer-aided maintenance management systems. In the agricultural sector, safety includes both the environment and the prevention of losses and wastes.

These are therefore the three major challenges that a maintenance management application typically takes into account in order to meet the needs of farmers and enable them to achieve better availability, reliability, safety and efficiency of equipment.

How is the Mobility Work platform different?

Mobility Work is a computer-aided maintenance management platform that combines software in SaaS mode, the first social maintenance network and a marketplace, and that connects equipment and consumables manufacturers with other maintenance actors, such as maintenance managers and technicians, etc. The versatility of the product allows each user to take advantage of a whole range of functionalities.

Mobility Work also includes both all the essential functionalities expected from a conventional 4.0 CMMS and the qualities induced by Industry 4.0. The tool can very easily be connected with any ERP or sensors. Its analytics tool makes it possible to store, manage and process major data and therefore facilitate critical decision-making. Even more importantly: the software works through a real-time mobile application available on iPhone and Android that allows you to stay connected. The solution has a good number of functionalities (geolocation, news feed, spare parts management, etc.) and aims to make you benefit from all existing technologies that could facilitate your work, increase your productivity, improve your efficiency, all while keeping in mind that it must remain intuitive.

The benefits of MW for agricultural maintenance:

• Plan and monitor all maintenance interventions
• Manage spare parts
• View all your equipment and their history
• Reduce downtime
• Improve uptimes
• Avoid breakdowns
• Reduce expenses related to the repair and replacement of spare parts by implementing preventive and predictive maintenance strategies.

Mobility Work's next-generation 4.0 CMMS allows farmers to avoid breakdowns during the busiest seasons, significantly improve their efficiency and increase safety. The solution gives you the possibility to plan interventions and spare parts purchases, and automates your entire maintenance cycle. With a simple smartphone, you can easily control all maintenance tasks while being in the field.

All the news relating to ongoing interventions are available from the news feed of the Mobility Work mobile application, available on iOS and Android.

Mobility Work is an intelligent, intuitive and flexible tool that can evolve at the same time as you and adapt to your needs.
