Introduction
A CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) is software that centralizes maintenance operations. Instead of paper or spreadsheets, it manages work orders, tracks equipment, automates preventive maintenance, and controls spare parts inventory. It helps teams shift from reactive to proactive maintenance, thereby reducing costly downtime.
Some core features
- Work Order Management: Create, assign, and track maintenance tasks digitally.
- Asset Tracking: Maintain a central database of all equipment, including manuals, history, and bills of materials.
- Preventive Maintenance Scheduling: Automate recurring maintenance based on time, usage, or IoT sensor triggers.
- Inventory Control: Track spare parts, set reorder points, and know exactly what is in stock.
- Analytics and Reporting: Monitor KPIs like Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and equipment uptime.
