Description ＿

A software product for preventive maintenance of production lines in a factory. The application allows the engineers to register new machines, mark the points where the operations needs to take place and the scheduled interval for each point, then displays a day to day calendar for the cleaning, inspection and lubrication activities. It generates reports on successful / failed events.

Challenges ＿

Because final users are no software engineers, the product needs to be as straightforward as possible:
＿

• Make it simple and easy to define checkpoints points on a machine, in an explicit visual manner.
• Never miss a deadline for maintenance activities.
• Provide real-time statistical reports about each machine’s functional / technical parameters.

Solutions ＿

We met client’s high expectations with a series of cross-technology solutions:
＿

• Implement a mobile JavaScript application, that allows the engineer to take and import a machine’s picture, then mark verification points directly on it.
• Integrate a visual calendar that manages maintenance planning for each machine, over an extended period of time.
• Integrate with existing recorded data, pulled from PLC devices, about machine’s parameters.
