Manufacturing CMMS that keeps the line moving
Meter-based 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. Meter-based PM triggers maintenance at operating hours, so the work lands between production 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, stock levels, and meter readings - 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 at 500 hours, not mid-shift
Calendar-based PM over-services idle machines and misses the ones running three shifts. Meter-based schedules trigger from operating hours, cycles, or units produced - so the spindle gets serviced when the machine has actually done the work, and the job lands in a planned production gap.
- PM triggered by meter readings, calendar dates, or both
- Readings logged at the machine during rounds
- Rolling schedules keep technician 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
And everything else you'd expect
“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, meter-based PM, shop floor access, and parts inventory.
What is manufacturing CMMS software?
It's a CMMS built for production environments: it schedules preventive maintenance by machine runtime, 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 meter-based preventive maintenance work?
Technicians log meter readings - operating hours, cycles, units produced - and PM schedules trigger when a machine hits its interval, like every 500 operating hours. Heavily used machines get serviced more often; idle ones aren't over-maintained on a calendar date.
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, parts with stock levels, and meter readings - and can create a work order on the spot instead of walking back to the office.
Can AssetLab help improve OEE?
Yes - through availability, the lever maintenance controls. Every work order records the downtime, labour, and parts behind a failure, so you see which machines drag availability down. Preventive schedules then cut the unplanned stops, and reports track the 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.
