Efficiency
in preventive maintenance
PCSYS Maintenance (PM5) is an application that provides assistance in planning and ex-ecution of efficient, preventive maintenance routines for production lines, buildings, ve-hicle parks, tools and other items that demand regular oversight and attention in your organization.
Easy to learn and easy to get started
Special attention has been given to PM5 in terms of user friendliness. As a result, even completely new users will require only a minimal amount of training before they are able to carry out most of the everyday tasks.
PM5 is primarily intended to be used by
maintenance personal, but information
and reports available in PM5 can also be
useful for key personal in other sections
of your company.
Main advantages of PM5:
The use of PM5 gives you the following
bennefits: Reduce machinery downtime,
increase life expectancy, more
economi-cal use of technieconomi-cal staff, fewer
large-scaled repairs, lower repair cost and
im-prove safety conditions and quality.
PM5 is based on experience from the
re-al-world. A maintenance group helps to
develop the program. PM5 is based on
more than 20 years of cooperation with
our daily users and it is this ongoing
dia-logue that created PM5 as it is today.
Facilities,
Machines and equipment
PM5 will assist you in planning and execution of maintenance tasks in your entire organi-zation. PM5 provides the necessary tools for planning and keeping track of your day-to-day maintenance procedures. The graphical user interface based on the same concepts as Microsoft’s Explorer and a comprehensive set of filters, allowing the user to quickly find the relevant information.
List
of functions
Facilities, machines and equipment
PM5 makes is easy to find any machine or piece of equipment, as well as the information attached to it. All data relevant to your machines and equip-ment, such as tasks, spare part consumption and failure history can be found through a simple, fully searchable user interface.
Locations and machine groups
Navigation interface in PM5 provides an overview of both the geographic locations and organizational structure of your company. By selecting a location, you automatically get an overview of its machines, tasks and activities. Finding the relevant informa-tion for a department or secinforma-tion in your company has never been easier.
Spare parts and spare part stores
What spare parts are associated with this machine – where are those spare parts stored – how many do you have in stock – and where can you order more? Just a few examples of questions and an-swers by a quick glance at your PM5 client.
Documentation and attachments
The number of documents available in electronic format increase every day. PM5 gives you the pos-sibility to store such documents in a centra-lized repository, and more importantly, it gives you easy access to them when you need them. In PM5, elec-tronic attachments such as text documents, pic-tures or PDF-documents can be added to every sin-gle machine, task, supplier, activity or fault. One mouse click and you have the documentation on your screen!
Logs and failure history
The ability to register machinery and equipment failures and how those issues were resolved is, ac-cording to our users, one of the most appreciated functions in PM5. By retaining information about re-solved faults, some of our users have been able to significantly reduce down time of their equipment.
PM5 provides many features that will make it easier for you to handle
everyday maintenance operations in your company.
Reports
PM5 gives you access to over thirty standard re-ports. These reports contain the numbers of ongo-ing activities per. employee, number of defects per day, numbers of outstanding errors per place.
Flexibility
PM5 can be modified to suit specific needs of your organization. This means you will only have the functions you need and no unnecessary functions.
Flexible user interface
The user interface in PM5 can be modified to indi-vidual user specific needs. Access to information can be granted according to individual user roles in your organization.
Data import through Excel
In order to reduce the time spend on manual data entry, we have developed a small application that allow you to import data into PM5 directly from Ex-cel documents. It comes with every type of PM5 license, free of charge.
The daily maintenance
With PM5 you can easily monitor all the mainte-nance tasks on a single screen. In your everyday work you will sort tasks and distinguish between errors and preventive maintenance tasks. It is easy to get the overview of tasks and group them. In most industries, some tasks will be postponed and others will be done ahead of time. Of course PM5 can handle maintenance tasks that has to be done on a specific date. But maintenance workers often have to be very flexible and adapt to different pro-duction schedules, weather conditions, special cer-tified personnel etc. PM5 can do all this and reflects the real world of maintenance.
Event-based maintenance
Tasks in PM5 can be controlled using counter value logs – the date for the next maintenance is auto-matically adjusted based on counter value reads, which can be entered manually or automatically (assisted by an OPC server). E.g. schedules for tasks can be adjusted based on variations in run-ning time or number of produced units.
Automatic sheduling of maintanence tasks
PM5 can interact with the factory machinery trough PLC or HMI systems. PM5 collects real-time data from the machinery such as pulse sequences and full stops. PM5 converts pulse sequences to maintanence tasks using the OPC standard communication driver.
Inventory management with barcodes
Scan your job chart and search out your spareparts. Manage your inventory and update the consumption of spareparts at location on the ruggedized handheld terminal device.
The PM5 barcode scanner saves you a lot of time and manual work. By handling the parts with a barcode scanner the updates are instantly available. The stor-age system will check the stock inventory and if this is below the specified minimum amount the system will report a new purchase. Spare parts are assigned to each machine and the financial consequences will be transferred to the individual account.
Less
Machine overview
It is easy to find any machine or equipment. All data relevant to machines and equipment, such as spareparts, tasks and historical data can be found trough a simple, fully searchable user interface. The simple user interface is the succes criteria for PM5.
Planned activities and failures
This screen in PM5 gives you a status of active and historical activities and failures on machines. On this screen it is very easy to filter information. A default user setting ensures your favorite informa-tion saved for the next time you logon to PM5.
