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. At the time you complete pre-starts, you have the ability to can record punch items (defects). Based on the maintenance intervals defined by you, you can get alerts when maintenance is overdue


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.

    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.
