Machineries Module Overview

The Maintenance Management System enables the management of preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance, and maintenance scheduling for existing machinery. Adding machines to the system will also generate a list of those requiring maintenance - whether as a preventative measure or in response to a fault.

Setting up Machinery

When setting up machinery, the system requires key information such as the name, code, location, and status. Additional optional details include a description of the machinery, ownership information, and the types of energy associated with it. Energy types can be configured via the Settings menu and may include, for example, electrical, pneumatic, or gas.

Machine Asset List

The Machineries module contains a list of machines that have been added to the system, along with their associated details. These details can be edited by selecting the name of an existing machine.

These details include:

1. Name
2. Description
3. Code
4. Location
5. Status

More information can be accessed by clicking on a machine name, including:

1. Machinery owners
2. Energies
3. Preventative Maintenances
4. Reactive Maintenances
5. Maintenance Scheduling

List of Energies

Energies associated with machinery are selected during the setup process. These refer to the elements that power the machine and are active when it is switched on. Examples include mechanical, inertia, electrical, and gas. Energy types can be configured via the Settings menu.

Preventative Maintenance

Preventative maintenance refers to scheduled inspections or maintenance tasks designed to reduce the risk of breakdowns and machinery failures.

This type of maintenance is recorded in a dedicated module and is visible in both the Preventative Maintenance module and the Machineries module. A full list of preventative maintenance activities related to a particular machine can be accessed by selecting that machine.

The same applies to maintenance scheduling, which is also documented and displayed in the Maintenance Schedulings module, as well as in the Machineries module.

Reactive Maintenances and Maintenance Scheduling's

Reactive maintenance refers to repair work or part replacement carried out after a machine has broken down or failed.

This type of maintenance can be recorded in a dedicated module and is displayed in both the Reactive Maintenance module and the Machineries module. A list of all reactive maintenance tasks related to a specific machine can be accessed by selecting that machine.

Statuses

The machinery status is selected when setting up machinery. The status can be changed by an administrator.

Machinery Statuses Include:

1. Safe to use – the machine is safe to use.
2. Not safe to use – the machine is not safe to use as it can cause accidents and injuries.
3. Not in use – the machine is no longer being used.
4. Expired – the date of the machine is expired.
5. Removed from service – the machine was removed from service, due to a variety of reasons, such as it being no longer in use, or it is unsafe to use.
