How Do I Add Machinery?
The Maintenance Management System facilitates the handling of preventive maintenance, reactive maintenance, and the scheduling of maintenance tasks for existing machinery. When machinery is added to the system, it automatically identifies which ones require maintenance - whether as a routine preventative measure or in response to a fault.
Adding machinery to the system is essential, as it ensures they are accounted for when updating or interacting with other system components. For example, reporting a fault, logging an intervention, or updating the inventory is more accurate and effective when the relevant machine is already registered in the system.
