Consumer Goods Packaging Company Utilizes Preventive Maintenance to Increase Asset Useful Life

The company is a manufacturer of packaging materials using  a  not-so intuitive legacy solution.

Challenges

The company had an existing traditional software for it’s maintenance management. With growing demand and modernization of equipment, the existing software became cumbersome and difficult to use on a day-to-day basis. Existing software didn’t support new features and methods of maintenance such as preventive maintenance.

Solutions

After evaluating multiple CMMS platforms, they chose DreamzCMMS for its Mobile App  and Industry 4.0 support for Industrial IoT Sensors, Blockchain and Intelligent Rule Engine. Since the company had multiple packaging sites diversely located, it needed a consolidated solution for global management.

Quick Information Access at Fingertips

With DreamzCMMS Mobile App, they can scan labeled QR codes on equipment and access complete asset history. User can create and prepare QR labels for printing from the DreamzCMMS Solution. The app helped them to get real-time information about assets, work orders, inventory, floor plans, purchase information, warranty details and more.

Having all this information on fingertips, collaboration across teams became easy, efficient and more productive. 

Streamlined Communication

DreamzCMMS makes team communication efficient. It helps to keep users, managers and technicians always aware and updated about the work status.  

DreamzCMMS enabled everyone in the operation to be well informed and communicated with the planned work orders and its status. The service started reporting issues and incidents using the mobile-app and allowed the team to respond, resolve and log closing notes with images and videos, which made the complete process transparent and communications streamlined.

Preventive Scheduling Maintenance

Based on manufacturer-recommended intervals, the initial schedule of maintenance was prepared and scheduled on calendar. Technicians were notified on the due date. 

Preventive maintenance setup configuration is of time-based triggers. For equipment, weekly, biweekly and monthly routine inspections and servicing activities is to schedule. On the due date, technicians would get the notifications on the mobile app.  After completion of their activities, they would capture photos and videos, add completion notes, defects found etc and close the work order. These ensure that the assets perform optimally  through their lifespan.

Meet Statutory Compliance

The client needs to ensure adherence to applicable statutory laws and regulations such as OSHA and provide maintenance records and inspections.

With Maintenance records, inspections and corrective actions taken and recorded by technicians, they easily compiled required reports to meet audit requirements and submit compliance reports. They used DreamzCMMS Maintenance Checklist feature to put in all the required set of tasks to record with images and videos as proof. This helps them compile reports to support statutory requirements.
