Overview
In Upvise, you can manage complete 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 the 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.
Getting Started
You can define maintenance intervals per Equipment Category, maintenance intervals can have 2 dimensions a time-based dimension and a usage-based dimension. The usage dimension can be defined as either hourly or kilometres. You can define an early warning interval for each dimension. Once an Interval for either dimension has been reached the equipment will automatically be flagged as due for maintenance.
Getting Started
Before you start using Upvise for Equipment maintenance, there is some configuration required to get you started.
Equipment and Equipment Categories sync from the workbench plant module.
You can maintain plant categories in Upvise to manage and define the utilisation and maintenance intervals of each individual category.

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

Managing punch items in a plant or industrial setting is vital for safety, efficiency, and compliance. Punch Items are tasks or issues needing resolution before full operation. The responsibility for managing punch items typically falls under the role of a construction project manager, plant manager or supervisor.
In Upvise, punch items can be managed centrally from the equipment module
You can view “Open”, “Completed” or “Closed” punch items in this list
Column Filters can be used to filter punch items via project, equipment, date etc.

...
Along with Punch items, you can use these Service interval alerts to help raise repair/service jobs.
...
Custom FLAGS can be used to group equipment by status such as “Category 1 Fault” or “Damaged” etc
Equipment Maintenance & Repair Jobs:
Equipment maintenance and servicing can be managed differently depending on your business’s needs and structure. Once a piece of equipment is due for maintenance, Upvise will alert you. You can use a combination of Servicing forms, Repair Request forms, punch items and Jobs to manage the works on your plant item.
Equipment Repair Jobs are created against the equipment to allocate work to mechanics.
Repair Jobs can be used to record timesheets, purchase orders, stock issues, and track maintenance and servicing costs on the equipment.
In workbench, Equipment Repair Jobs are plant “Logs”, visible on the plant item in workbench

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:
