All the data required to ensure the proper maintenance of production facilities are included as the basic building blocks of the GUARDUS MES Maintenance module. Machines, production units or tools scheduled for maintenance are managed by a virtual master card through a user-friendly interface. Corresponding spare parts lists and maintenance plans are also integrated for easy referencing. The continuous care of items is coordinated through version-controlled maintenance plans. Administrators schedule maintenance plans that can be either cyclical or optionally triggered by conditions or events. Individual check lists, spare parts lists and bills of materials will describe the details of tasks to be carried out, thus becoming the basis for any maintenance plan.

When maintenance work is concluded, the order receives a “completed” status and the next maintenance is automatically scheduled.  For more detailed notification, end-users create maintenance and repair reports and optionally enter the real costs incurred.

This module provides the enterprise with:

• Maintenance plans
• Maintenance bills of materials and spare parts lists
• Check lists
• Maintenance and repair orders
• Cost transparency
• Integration to ERP/PPS
• Greater uptime by optimizing the maintenance process.
