Manufacturing CMMS that keeps the line moving

Preventive maintenance that catches failures before they stop production, QR codes that put every machine's history on the shop floor, and parts on the shelf when the work comes due.

Downtime on your schedule

An hour of unplanned downtime costs $10,000-15,000 once idle labour, expedited parts, and missed shipments stack up. Preventive maintenance on a set calendar puts the work in planned production gaps, so it lands between runs - not mid-shift.

Technicians who wrench, not search

Chasing manuals, work history, and parts eats 12+ hours per technician per week. A QR scan at the machine brings up everything: history, wiring diagrams, and stock levels - right on the floor.

Parts there before the breakdown

Emergency parts orders add $2,000-5,000 in expedited shipping per event. Inventory with reorder points and machine-linked parts means the bearing is on the shelf when the PM comes due.

Catch the failure in a planned gap, not mid-shift

Set each machine's PM on the interval its duty demands, from weekly checks on the conveyors to quarterly spindle service. Work orders generate themselves when the PM comes due, so the job lands in a planned production gap instead of a breakdown in the middle of a shift.

  • Six frequencies, from daily checks to annual overhauls
  • Fixed dates for compliance inspections, rolling for wear items
  • Rolling schedules reset from the last service and keep workload level
  • Full PM and failure history per machine

Everything about the machine, at the machine

The wiring diagram is in a binder, the work history is in someone's head, and the part number is back at the office. A QR tag on every machine ends the scavenger hunt: scan it and the full record is in the technician's hand.

  • Complete work order history on every asset
  • Manuals, wiring diagrams, and CAD files attached
  • Parts and stock levels linked to the machine
  • Create work orders with photos, right on the floor

End the emergency parts order

A $40 drive belt becomes a $4,000 problem when the line is down and the part ships overnight. Stock levels with reorder points, critical spares linked to the machines that need them, and usage deducted as work orders close - the stockroom finally matches reality.

  • Stock levels with minimums and reorder alerts
  • Critical spares mapped to the machines that use them
  • Stock deducted automatically as work orders close
  • Usage history shows true parts cost per machine

“My staff are focused people, but focus requires direction, and direction requires clear and consistent scheduling. AssetLab's preventive maintenance scheduling is flexible enough to reflect the real rhythms of a busy facility, but structured enough that my team always knows what's coming and when.”

Manufacturing CMMS FAQ

Common questions about plant maintenance software, PM scheduling, shop floor access, and parts inventory.

What is manufacturing CMMS software?
It's a CMMS built for production environments: it schedules preventive maintenance around production, turns breakdowns into tracked work orders, puts equipment history and manuals on the shop floor through QR codes, and records downtime and cost for every machine in the plant.
How does preventive maintenance scheduling work for production equipment?
Each machine gets PM schedules on the interval its duty demands, from daily checks to annual overhauls. Fixed schedules hold exact dates for compliance inspections; rolling schedules reset from the last completed service, so a late job doesn't stack the next one on top of it. Work orders generate automatically when a PM comes due. AssetLab schedules PM by calendar today, not by meter readings such as operating hours or cycles.
How do QR codes work on the shop floor?
Every machine gets a printed QR tag. A technician scans it with a phone and lands on the full asset record: work order history, manuals and wiring diagrams, and parts with stock levels - and can create a work order on the spot instead of walking back to the office.
Can AssetLab help improve OEE?
Indirectly, through availability, the lever maintenance controls. AssetLab doesn't calculate OEE itself, but every work order records the labour, parts and cost behind a repair, so you can see which machines keep breaking down. Preventive schedules then cut the unplanned stops, and reports show the reactive work trend month over month.
Does AssetLab track spare parts inventory?
Yes. Parts inventory keeps stock levels with reorder points, links critical spares to the machines that use them, and deducts stock automatically as work orders close - so usage history shows what each machine really costs to keep running.
How long does implementation take for a manufacturing plant?
Most teams are live within days. Import your equipment list from a spreadsheet, print QR tags, and start logging work orders - implementation doesn't need a consultant or a six-month rollout plan.
