PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The Hardcat Preventative Maintenance software is used worldwide to maintain all types of operational equipment, assemblies and their components, typically by Location / Project / Parent-Child / Product-Type / and Equipment-Type. It makes for a crucial component of your asset management solution.
Behind the Preventative Maintenance module sits a very large, scalable database that can manage hundreds of thousands of individual items of equipment. Hardcat handles the through-life history of the asset from inception through to disposal.
The Preventative Maintenance module allows the complete tracking of planned and reactive activity against an asset as well as the time and cost of maintaining the asset base. The user has the ability to look at past, current and future maintenance plans for an asset, or groups of assets.
The Maintenance Module allows users to set up common tasks or templates and automatically create scheduled Work Orders, both recurring and one-off. Work Orders can be triggered by Date or Unit information, or a combination of both. Ad-hoc Work Orders can also be actioned. Imminent or Overdue Work Orders can automatically be flagged by email to the appropriate parties.
Hardcat Preventative Maintenance information is available through the following presentation methods:
-
Job card or work order print-out
-
Access via web browser
-
Field-based PDA's
-
Smartphone technology
The Hardcat MiCat application delivers Preventative Maintenance functionality to both the Android and iPhone smartphone platforms. Real-time Preventative Maintenance data is presented in a familiar, intuitive interface, with any changes from the field user being instantly sent back to the Hardcat database.
Hardcat is in use by A Noble & Son to track over 300,000 items of equipment, each with their own maintenance regime and history. Branded as 'Tech Inspect', the system is accessed via the Web and maintenance tasks are downloaded to portable PDA's for use by field engineers.
