The Challenge

• You need to ensure that established procedures or processes have been followed
  
• You need to know which standard was used in a certain procedure.
  

TrackAbout Maintenance Module

The Maintenance Module enables the recording, tracking and reporting of maintenance actions and other procedures used in your business to manage your assets..

By enabling the Maintenance module you can:

• Create a list of maintenance actions that will be displayed on the handhelds and can then be performed on your assets

In this example the "Make Pack", "Handwheel", "Safety", "Shotblast" etc buttons are custom maintenance actions

• Report on any completed maintenance
• Maintain an individual asset's maintenance history

When combined with the Dynamic forms module, the Maintenance module can also  help you to:

• Establish step-by-step processes to follow for a given maintenance action you need to ensure that established procedures or processes have been followed
• Record extra information for each kind of maintenance work
• Enforce that all information is collected and that values are withing acceptable ranges.

Getting Started:

Track Maintenance Performed

• Work with your TrackAbout representative to create customized maintenance actions. These may be created with or without Dynamic Forms to collect extra info during maintenance actions.
• Record actions performed on assets
• Report on actions performed
