Successful Material Handling Computerized Maintenance Management Software Implementation

Automation keeps business moving, maintenance keeps automation moving
Today’s distribution, manufacturing, and post and parcel operations depend on automation to keep product flowing reliably and efficiently.

Industry research expects 10-15 percent annual growth in adoption of automation over the next three to five years, with overall adoption levels approaching 80 percent by 2019.

With so many operations relying on automation, proactive system maintenance plays a critical role in avoiding unplanned downtime and maximizing profits, asset performance, equipment longevity and return on system investment.

Predictive maintenance requires capturing all of the relevant data and the interpretive expertise to put it to proactive use.

Today’s computerized maintenance management software (CMMS) is an essential tool designed to do just that - manage data collection, analysis, planning and execution for an informed preventive lifecycle maintenance program.

However, these benefits assume an effective and fully developed implementation.

Results can quickly sour and the CMMS can become unusable if illequipped operations attempt the implementation inhouse or use a vendor unfamiliar with their industry.

Collecting on the promise of a CMMS requires an experienced, trusted partner armed with a deep pool of reliable data and an understanding of client business goals.
