HOW IOT PLUS SMART FACILITY MONITORING SOLUTION CAN HELP YOU
Saves Time for Managers
Communication and Coordination – No need to call, email, or text. Many managers spend a significant portion of their day assigning tasks and following up on them. With IOT Plus, all of the work assignments for a facility can be either automated or automatically sent to the manager to divvy out to the team. All a manager has to do to make an assignment is drag the task under the name of the team member.
Reporting – An important job of a manager is to assess the performance of the maintenance program and report results to other departments or executives. With IOT Plus, a report format only needs to be created once, and it will automatically be updated and generated. No more creating spreadsheets, lists, and digging through paperwork.
Saves Time for Technicians
Paperwork – Paperwork is often considered a necessary evil in the maintenance world. With IOT Plus, it can be completely eliminated. Inputting data for a task in App is faster and easier than filling out a sheet of paper. On average, IOT Plus saves a technician 40 minutes of paperwork each day.
Repair Cost
Many people learn the hard way that if you do not regularly add motor oil to a vehicle, eventually the engine will seize, and it will need to be replaced. In this example, Reactive Maintenance would be waiting for the engine to seize before taking action, while Preventive Maintenance would be adding oil to prevent a breakdown. It is easy to see how Preventive Maintenance can greatly reduce labor and part costs. The difficult part about changing from a Reactive Maintenance Program to a Preventive Maintenance Program is that it requires constant scheduling, planning and organizing. IOT Plus automates all three of these activities. IOT Plus makes it easy to create and maintain a Preventive Maintenance Program.
Downtime
Downtime is when the processes of a business that make money are halted. In manufacturing, it is when a part of or all of a production line is stopped. Downtime is often the result of a malfunction or equipment failure, which can be mitigated with the proper preventive maintenance activities. An hour of downtime can be very expensive for a company because it results in lost labor (affected workers and maintenance technicians), lost production value, and overhead. An hour of downtime can easily cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Spare Parts Inventory
The two greatest forms of inventory waste are having too much inventory and running out of inventory. Purchasing too much inventory ties up cash and clutters your storage area. To make matters worse, this has a snow ball effect; people are more likely to purchase supplies before checking current inventory when there is clutter. The problem with running out of inventory is that obtaining more becomes an immediate need. In order to prevent equipment downtime it will be necessary to pay an employee to make an emergency trip to a supplier, pay priority shipping, or purchase from a more expensive vendor.
IOT Plus allows parts inventories to be managed automatically. Everyone will be able to easily check current inventory levels before purchasing more supplies. Each time a part is used in a task, one is subtracted from inventory. A minimum part threshold can be set so when the inventory falls below that number, a notification will be sent to the manager that additional parts need to be purchased. IOT Plus makes it easy to optimize inventory levels.
