FMGC: Safety and Traceability of machines thanks to CMMS

A factory must comply with various safety standards and regulations. Each monitoring or control of an equipment or machine can be easily traced thanks to Mobility Work CMMS in the event of a security audit.

How does FMGC manage the safety of its machines and equipment using CMMS?

La FMGC, a European leader specialized in the development and manufacture of cast iron counterweights and ballast solutions, uses Mobility Work to identify and monitor safety problems encountered in its factory. Traceability, whether in terms of production, quality, environment or maintenance, is an essential aspect of safety.

Mobility Work CMMS makes it possible to describe and record all daily tasks or activities related to company security. Everything is traced in accordance with the various regulations in force.

Weekly safety reports

The FMGC has set up weekly safety reports for its “equipment.” All equipment and buildings that are subject to security measures are included in these reports. The necessary follow-ups and controls are grouped and planned in each weekly report. The tasks, documents or equipment related to these follow-ups are listed in the form of tabs for quick access. In addition, FMGC scheduled mandatory safety meetings for employees using the CMMS “maintenance plan” tool. Mobility Work's agenda and notification tools allow the employees concerned to be notified of the date and time of these meetings.

Conformity of accessories and equipment

Regulatory compliance in a factory is often linked to equipment. In the “equipment” section of the CMMS, FMGC has integrated its safety-related equipment such as fire stations subject to regular checks. Since this task is carried out by service providers, it is essential for the company to plan these controls in order to ensure better follow-up and to be able to easily restore the history of these interventions in the event of an audit.

Accessories and equipment subject to safety and quality regulations, such as lifting accessories, bridges, sling heads or slings, can also be added to the CMMS, as did the FMGC. Thus, all equipment that is subject to these regulations can be easily displayed in your search results with a link to the equipment, its name, photo, maximum working load (CMU) characteristics, year, weight, or serial number. In addition, information on the intervention time spent or the number of tasks performed by equipment or for a set of equipment is also available.

Labels to save time in case of an audit

The FMGC uses labels (tags) to easily identify anything that falls under regulations. The use of labels makes it easy to find equipment by service, for example, or according to safety standards. This saves valuable time for global management and instant visualization of equipment subject to particular safety rules, or to generate intervention reports. Labels can be used to identify anything that is regulatory.

Compliance with environmental standards is a crucial aspect of safety. Thanks to the GMAO labels, the FMGC is in a position to list all tasks related to the environment, such as the monitoring of water, basins, waste, chemical products, discharges... Everything is carefully planned to ensure compliance.
