The work order goes to the machine with the technician.
An app for technicians on a phone or tablet: the jobs assigned to them, the equipment’s history and documents, the checklist, and the time, parts and notes recorded and closed where the work was done.
Notes written after the job are notes written from memory.
When a technician has to return to a desk to read the next job and record the last one, the record arrives late and short. What was found, what was replaced and how long it took is exactly the detail that is lost on the walk back.
The job, the history and the record, in hand.
Everything the technician would otherwise walk back to a desk for, on the device they already carry.
Assigned work, in hand
Each technician sees the work orders assigned to them in priority order, with the equipment and the description, without returning to a workstation.
History at the machine
The asset’s previous jobs are on the phone, so the technician starts from what was found and replaced last time rather than from scratch.
Documents where they are needed
Manuals, drawings and procedures attached to the asset open at the machine they describe.
The checklist, ticked as it is done
The work order’s steps are worked through on the device, in order, at the machine, rather than signed off afterwards.
Recorded where it happens
Time, parts used, notes and a photo of what was found are recorded as the work is done, and the work order is closed on the spot.
A new request from the job
A second problem found while on a job is raised there and then, against the right equipment, before it is forgotten.
At the machine, inside VZIAM MES.
In a plant that runs production on VZIAM MES, the operator’s screen at the line is where maintenance is called. These pages describe it.
- The operator terminal
The touch cockpit at the machine, with targets of at least 44 pixels, which queues declarations and replays them in order when the Wi-Fi drops.
- Maintenance in VZIAM MES
A request raised from that cockpit, and an intervention that cannot be closed until its mandatory steps are done.
- Paperless shop floor
Checklists and readings on the line as forms with tolerances, signed on submission.
- MES vs CMMS
Which of the two a plant needs, set out question by question.
Frequently asked questions.
Tell the engineers which devices your technicians carry, and ask what the app would look like on them.
Book a callYes. The app is built for the devices technicians already carry, at the machine and on the move between jobs.
Yes. A technician who finds a second problem while on a job raises it on the spot, against the right equipment.
Yes. A photo of what was found, attached to the work order, often says more than the written note, and the next technician on that machine sees it.
That is what it is for. A paper work order is filled in after the job and typed in later, if at all; a work order closed on the phone is in the history before the technician leaves the machine.
The rest of VZIAM CMMS.
Plan the change before it reaches the line.
Request a demo and an engineer looks at how your production runs today, shows how the software would fit around it, and where a pilot on one line would start.
01Pick a time
Choose a slot in the calendar, and note what you make and what reads your machines today.
02Screen shared with an engineer
A video call with someone who builds the software, in English or French.
03What would connect
For each machine, its path: native (OPC UA, MQTT or HTTP push), through a gateway, or nothing to build.
