CMMS App Suite

Manage and execute maintenance work orders to improve asset uptime with the CMMS App Suite

Purpose

The CMMS App Suite includes everything an operation needs to request, schedule & assign, and execute maintenance work orders to streamline asset maintenance and improve overall uptime.

The App Suite includes three apps:

• Order Management
• Order Request
• Order Execution

Setup

To prepare the app suite for production-use, the following configurations need to be made:

Update Dropdowns

• Assignee is set to include all users by default; this may need to be modified to only include Maintenance Technician users

Update Table

• Update Table (Physical Artifact) Equipment & Assets with the relevant equipment details (Or modify the app to query from a connector if you have existing equipment details on ERP

How It Works

Maintenance Order Management

The Maintenance Order Management App has 6 primary functions:

1. View dashboard of maintenance effectiveness
2. View summary and details of maintenance work orders
3. Approve requests for maintenance work orders
4. Create and modify maintenance work orders
5. Assign maintenance work orders to technicians
6. Create and edit equipment details

Maintenance Order Execution

The Maintenance Order Execution App has 5 primary functions.

1. View assigned orders
2. Execute order (Or clarify reason for delay)
3. Create new orders
4. Review equiment manual
5. Ask questions about equipment manual (Requires Copilot feature)

Maintenance Order Request

The Maintenance Order Request App has one core function:

1. Request maintenance order from maintenance
   This step is to be copied into other existing production apps to streamline maintenance requests

Summary of Tables Used

There are two primary tables used for this app suite:

• (Physical Artifact) Equipment & Assets
• (Requirements) Scheduled Procedures

(Physical Artifact) Equipment & Assets

This table is used to list all equipment and assets with the relevant details such as equipment manuals, location, and more.

This table is used to map maintenance work orders to specific equipment

(Requirements) Scheduled Procedures

This table is used to store all maintenance work orders. This includes all relevant details such as assignee, order description, deadline, and more

App Structure

Steps one by one, highlight how to navigate to and from the step, and what you can do on this step. Include routing diagrams and app screenshots for visual context.

How to Use

Maintenance Order Management

The Maintenance Order Management app is specifically designed for maintenance managers to quickly and easily create and assign work orders for their respective maintenance technicians. The ideal usage is either a computer, HMI, or large tablet to manage all maintenance processes

Maintenance Order Execution

The Maintenance Order Execution app is specifically designed for maintenance technicians to easily understand maintenance orders assigned to them, complete them, review relevant maintenance manuals. The aspect ratio was design for viewing on a tablet in portrait mode. The app design can easily be modified to fit any aspect ratio.

Maintenance Order Request

The Maintenance Order Request app is more so a single step designed to be added to existing production apps by Tulip developers to streamline maintenance order requests on the shop floor.

How to Extend

To further extend this app suite, one could leverage connectors to rely on ERP as a source of truth for equipment details. One could also explore connecting condition monitoring equipment from Schaeffler Optime or Augury to augment the CMMS App Suite with predictive maintenance and condition monitoring capabilities.
