Idhammar MMS - enhancing maintenance mobility

Consider a geographically dispersed maintenance team, covering a large site with multiple facilities...

By using a CMMS linked to a hand-held PDA, maintenance engineers are able to work with real-time information, check and allocate stock or initiate work-orders, without returning to the office. As a result of this, journey-time for the maintenance engineer is cut, productivity is enhanced, purchase cycle times are minimised, and inventory value is reduced.

New mobile maintenance systems, based on Pocket-PCs make life easier for Maintenance Engineers as they carry out inspections and initiate and manage work orders. Paper based schedules are eliminated and vital maintenance information is available at the touch of a button where-ever and when-ever it is needed. With enhanced management capability, standing on the shop floor with the ability to schedule staff, plan and report-back, the Maintenance Manager's life is much easier. Web based work order creation and monitoring further enables the easy inclusion of contractors into the management processes. The benefits of effective communication with a Pocket Maintenance System can also be realised with the minimisation of downtime through text/email alerts for critical breakdowns.

Quite apart from making life easier, Idhammar’s Pocket Maintenance system also makes life greener – by reducing the travel required to input information to the CMMS, eliminating paper logs, and driving energy efficiencies by operating resourcefully.
