Overview

In Upvise, you are able to manage can 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. Based on the maintenance intervals defined by you, you can get alerts when maintenance is overdue.

...

At the time you complete pre-starts, you can record punch items (defects).


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.

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.

titleServicing Reports & Summary
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.
