How KENEXOS® simplifies maintenance

As a central KENEXOS® standard module, maintenance and repair management is used with the respective configuration in all KENEXOS® industry solutions. It includes all functions for efficient and sustainable management of all maintenance and repair tasks and processes. By consistently recording and tracking the legally prescribed inspection and maintenance measures and the integrated, complete documentation, you reduce your operator risks as planned.

Productive maintenance - with comprehensive documentation of systems, tools and spare parts

The maintenance management software from KENEXOS® supports you in your total productive maintenance strategy to ensure the availability of your production facilities, machines and tools.

Resource management

All information on your operating equipment can be called up on clearly laid out master data sheets. These provide information on defined maintenance intervals and stored maintenance plans. For tools, data on the supplier, purchase price, purchase date, inventory and drawing number, possible storage location, parts list details and relevant nests or cavities are also available. If required, individual cavities can be blocked with a simple mouse click. In addition, work plans for maintenance, repair and inspection that are relevant for the object in question are also stored in the master sheet. The intervals for maintenance measures are defined dynamically, either according to a specific time period or according to the machine cycle.

Creation of maintenance plans

The maintenance software coordinates all measures to ensure the operational condition of your equipment through proactive maintenance, inspection and repair. The associated work plans, including planned times, can be conveniently defined. The work process structure guarantees precise mapping of the steps to be carried out – from simple cleaning instructions for machine operators to complex maintenance plans for employees in the maintenance area. Supported by images and documents, such as sample images and process instructions, your employees receive the best possible support for preventive maintenance measures. Using checklists directly on the terminal, staff are reminded of upcoming tasks and their implementation is documented – all thanks to the maintenance management software.

Deadline monitoring

A special information service is available to help you plan maintenance measures in good time. You will be reminded by e-mail when, for example, 80% of the interval period or the number of cycles has been reached. The period for the reminder can be set flexibly in KENEXOS® so that you have sufficient time to coordinate the upcoming maintenance work, especially if the involvement of external staff is required.

Detailed planning of maintenance orders

The clear planning display provides information at a glance about when which measures need to be carried out and how much time needs to be scheduled for this. To ensure optimum orientation, the graphical maintenance overview can be limited to specific capacity groups such as machines and tools. The planning service is supported by ad-hoc messages from production, which require manually triggered maintenance orders, for example due to unplanned machine downtime. In addition, regular maintenance work is automatically scheduled based on time or according to the machine cycle, always taking into account current and planned production orders. The appropriate personnel are conveniently assigned by drag & drop according to the respective qualification requirements. All these factors form the basis for efficient planning management.

Implementation

The employees are managed in a structured manner based on the predefined work plans for maintenance, inspection, repair and overhaul. The maintenance management system automatically records which steps were carried out, how long the activities took and during which period the system was unavailable. The results of the job are also documented in detail.

If repair work is required and the equipment fails, KENEXOS® triggers a sophisticated chain of events that has the following effect: planned production dates are rescheduled, the responsible persons are notified by e-mail and the ERP system automatically receives a request for the required spare part. This enables a prompt check of stock levels with a parts reservation or immediate ordering without delay.

Maintenance analyses

KENEXOS® offers a comprehensive history that makes all actions performed, including their log and results, visible. The powerful analysis tools provide precise information on the work carried out and reveal optimization potential in the maintenance process. This includes

  • OEE
  • MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure)
  • MTTR (Mean Time To Repair)
  • Cost expenditure
  • Downtimes caused by maintenance measures
  • Personnel deployment

The maintenance management software in a compact format!

Although many everyday processes are largely automated by mobile maintenance, it is still crucial to create an appropriate basis for optimizing all relevant processes through the initial structuring and information enrichment of buildings and work equipment. With the help of KENEXOS® maintenance software, you can easily obtain a digital, centralized and comprehensive representation of your buildings and their areas as well as a complete record of all maintenance processes for your machines via an app.

Manage assets and plan maintenance in real time via the cloud

By using the KENEXOS® software solution, a maintenance plan provides you with a clear overview of when inspections or repairs should be carried out. This means that even the smallest defects can be identified and rectified at an early stage as part of preventive maintenance. Planned preventive maintenance tasks, such as MOT appointments and inspections, are presented comprehensively and informatively and displayed visually in the maintenance planner. Unplanned repair work due to faults is also processed and displayed in real time so that suitable measures can be taken as quickly as possible and long downtimes can be avoided. The software offers a comprehensive range of functions that support all important and recurring processes in the company in order to ensure long-term system availability and also optimize performance.

Digital management of important documents for customer service

In order to ensure continuous improvement and optimization in the maintenance of systems, records and evaluations are of great importance. The centralized CMMS tool KENEXOS® offers an ideal platform for storing technical documents such as data sheets, photos, circuit diagrams and technical drawings, which can be retrieved at any time. In addition, the flexible asset management software of the KENEXOS® tool enables the secure storage of historical data on past faults and failures as well as the corresponding damage patterns and thus offers the possibility of deriving optimization potential for the future.

FAQ - The most important questions answered briefly

What is maintenance management software, CMMS or maintenance software?

he software-based solution for planning maintenance and repair orders – known as maintenance software or CMMS – is a digital tool that makes it possible to assign tasks to maintenance staff in a targeted and effective manner. Manual planning using a planning board or Excel spreadsheets is replaced by an automated solution that can be operated on all end devices such as a smartphone or tablet. The functions of this software include the option of individual planning using drag-and-drop as well as group planning over a predefined period. The qualifications and skills of the employees are taken into account in order to ensure the targeted allocation of orders. Furthermore, the software achieves optimum utilization of maintenance staff by taking into account working hours per day and shift.

Instead of using paper, the maintenance technicians use a special maintenance app to process the orders. Using this app, they can quickly and easily view the relevant jobs and all information on the system and job in an overview, even offline and directly on site. After carrying out maintenance or repairs, they document their work in the app and report back their working hours and the consumption of materials. They can also use the app to transfer completed checklists, forms and photos directly to the backend system. Overall, maintenance software significantly shortens and accelerates communication and planning channels throughout the company and maximizes efficiency, which is of course also reflected in the figures. As an additional benefit, the digital management of the systems also reduces the maintenance costs of the machines and systems.

The dispatcher is always aware of the current processing status of the orders thanks to the status feedback from the maintenance staff.

For which industries is mobile maintenance suitable?

In principle, KENEXOS maintenance software is suitable for all sectors that have to manage capital-intensive plant and machinery, i.e. the entire inventory – whether in terms of documentation or maintenance and repair planning. The most common sectors are, for example, industry, logistics, healthcare, infrastructure and utilities. If you have assets that require capital, it is therefore all the more necessary to have mobile maintenance software or CMMS software to keep an operational overview of management in every situation.

What is the difference between maintenance management software and an EAM system?

As the term suggests, maintenance and repair software enables you to manage and maintain your systems. However, it can also be devices and machines that are stored in this system, as they also undergo regular inspection and maintenance workflows. By using an EAM system, you are able to take an advanced step by gaining overall control of the asset life cycle and connecting it to other processes or systems. However, thanks to the flexible scalability of KENEXOS, third-party systems can also be connected via interfaces.
