Overview

In Upvise, you can manage Pre-starts and equipment maintenance directly from the mobile application. You can create your own custom daily pre-start checklists which can be filled in by your operators at the start of the day before operating plant. At the time you complete pre-starts, you can record punch items (defects).
Based on the maintenance intervals defined by you, you can get alerts when maintenance is overdue.

1. Pre-Start Guide (Operators)

To ensure the effective operation of Upvise Maintenance for your business, consistent completion of daily pre-starts is crucial. This practice allows data entered by operators to update plant item utilization, triggering accurate alerts for your plant department to manage effectively. In Upvise, you can seamlessly manage pre-starts and equipment maintenance directly from the mobile application. Customize daily pre-start checklists for operators to fill in at the start of each day before using plant equipment. Additionally, when completing pre-starts, you can record punch items (defects).

titlePre-Start Forms

Workbench has a few standard prestart templates to start you off when we install your site.

  • Construction Vehicles Pre-Start Checklist

  • Light Vehicle Daily Pre-Start Checklist

  • Mower Daily Pre-Start

The prestart checklists are designed to capture the condition of the equipment before operationing the vehicle to ensure that it’s safe to operate and any non-critical defects are captured as the operator completes the assessment. Defects are captured on the form via Punch items, see forms for more information regarding how punch items are configured in your template.

We recommend you review your pre-start forms when you are configuring your system to ensure that critical information, and information unique to your business operations is captured.

titleServicing Reports & Summary

Workbench has developed a utility to quickly access service history reports from your equipment.

This is useful for maintenance history for external maintenance works, or to produce service records when being audited.

You can find the “Service History” option on your individual equipment items in Upvise on the web.

When clicking on the “Service History” button, you will see a summary of equipment service records for that equipment item.

This is a view of the following:

  • The Date of the service

  • Any form that has “service” in it’s name

  • “Service Type” field must exist as a field on your service forms.

  • “Meter” is taken from the “Kms/Hrs” field on your service forms.

If the abovementioned fields do not exist, have a different label or have been left blank, you will not see data in this view.

You can use the “Service History PDF” button to extract a PDF report of your service records
