Maintenance Software

It takes good equipment to make good parts. To achieve high quality and on time delivery, you must keep your equipment running at its optimum level. You need to avoid costly breakdowns, develop a knowledge base of technical experience, and respond quickly to maintenance problems. Plexus Online provides a set of powerful, but simple-to-use modules for maximizing the uptime and productivity of your machinery. Our comprehensive Maintenance System include Machines List, user-definable attributes, Checklists, Maintenance Request and Approval System, Preventive Maintenance (PM), Spare Parts Management, MRO, and more. PM can be scheduled by hours, days, or number of production hits (pieces). The Maintenance System also allows you to define specific machine parameters. These measured values can be graphed over time and used for Predictive Maintenance.
