Plant Maintenance (Pre-Starts & Service Management)

Overview

In Upvise, you 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 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.
