The lack of a spare part for one of the machines in your plant can lead to downtime. If a critical part is not in stock, the plant runs the risk of extended downtime from equipment failure. However, inventory is expensive. If a company is overstocked and has too many spare parts, it is overpaying for storage, and the parts may become obsolete as manufacturers update their lines. How do you find the right balance? With legacy equipment, a preventive maintenance approach could help provide that equilibrium between having too many parts sitting in stock rooms and not having a...

A water utility strives to progress along a cost savings path moving from paper-based reactive work orders to a planned maintenance strategy using a CMMS to gain an estimated 12 to 18 percent cost savings.  

Asset tracking in supply chains is undergoing many changes that promise to deliver new benefits. Traditional asset tracking technologies like barcode and RFID ID are being supplemented or replaced with IOT enabled tracking methodologies. These new Internet of Things (IoT) devices can provide real-time tracking, as well as information on the condition of items in the field or in transit. Specifically, tracking tags and sensors can provide real-time location data about goods in transit or sitting in a warehouse. Additionally, some sensors can collect temperature and pressure data, or whether packaging is damaged. Unfortunately, many companies that use such sensors...

A computerized maintenance management system, or CMMS, enables businesses, maintenance firms and teams to achieve complete control over their maintenance processes and tasks. From a centralized interface, users can efficiently maximize all their equipment and facilities as well as manage their assets and other resources. They can efficiently schedule and perform preventive maintenance activities. The READYAsset software suite minimizes operational, production and operational downtime by monitoring machines in real-time with expert systems and A.I. based rules that can accurately predict pending failures and automatically trigger the best preventative actions. CMMS software allows maintenance teams to closely track and comprehensively document...
