Transforming Nutrition Manufacturing with DreamzCMMS and Samsara IoT Connectivity

Client Overview

The Challenge

101 Nutrition operates a large network of production and distribution facilities handling hundreds of assets and mobile equipment.

Their maintenance and operations teams faced key challenges:

• Limited visibility into asset health and maintenance cycles.
• Manual preventive maintenance (PM) scheduling without automation.
• Inefficient coordination between field technicians and operations.
• Lack of integration between fleet tracking (Samsara) and maintenance work orders.
• Inconsistent parts inventory control across multiple warehouses.

The company required an intelligent, mobile-enabled CMMS that could unify asset management, PM scheduling, incident reporting, and inventory control — all integrated with Samsara’s real-time telematics data.

The DreamzCMMS Solution

DreamzCMMS deployed a comprehensive cloud-based Asset & Maintenance Management System tailored for 101 Nutrition’s operational and fleet management requirements.
The platform digitized every stage of asset operations — from preventive maintenance planning to mobile-based field execution — integrating seamlessly with Samsara’s IoT telematics platform for fleet and vehicle data.

Core Modules Implemented

1. Asset Management

• Centralized registry of all manufacturing, warehouse, and logistics assets.
• Tracking of asset health, lifecycle cost, and real-time performance status.

2. Work Order & Maintenance Management

• Automated work order creation from preventive maintenance schedules, incident reports, or Samsara fault codes.
• Technician Mobile App: Field technicians can view assigned work orders, log time, upload photos, update task status, and close jobs directly from their mobile devices.
• Admins can monitor live work order progress and technician productivity in real time.

3. Preventive Maintenance (PM) Scheduler

• Multi-asset scheduling with editable due dates for dynamic maintenance planning.
• Meter-based scheduling using Samsara’s odometer and engine runtime data to trigger maintenance automatically.
• Bulk editing and reassignment options as assets move between facilities.

4. Parts & Supplies Management

• Detailed warehouse structure using Section → Shelf → Bin mapping for part storage locations.
• Restock and consumption workflows restricted to authorized users to prevent cost errors.
• Integration with Purchase Orders and Work Orders for automated part usage tracking.

5. Incident & Workflow Management

• Unified incident reporting from the web or technician mobile app.
• Incidents automatically converted to corrective work orders and routed through approval workflows.

6. Reports & Analytics

• Real-time dashboards for asset performance, technician workload, and part consumption.
• Custom reports for preventive maintenance, downtime, and fleet health metrics.

Integration with Samsara

The DreamzCMMS–Samsara integration gave 101 Nutrition real-time operational intelligence by synchronizing vehicles, trailers, fault codes, and inspection reports directly into DreamzCMMS.
Key Integration Features

• Vehicle & Trailer Sync: Fetch and map vehicles and trailers from Samsara to DreamzCMMS assets automatically.
• Real-Time Location Tracking: Vehicles updated every 10–15 seconds and displayed on the DreamzCMMS “Assets on Map” dashboard.
• Fault Code Monitoring & Work Order Creation: Automatic generation of maintenance work orders when critical Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) appear in Samsara.
• DVIR Integration: Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR) sync directly from Samsara — if defects are found, work orders are automatically created for immediate technician response.
• Odometer & Engine Runtime Sync: OBD data from Samsara updates CMMS meter readings for predictive maintenance.
• IoT Sensor Management: Simple device assignment/unassignment to assets and facilities within the CMMS interface.
• Technician Mobile App Integration:Samsara-triggered work orders instantly appear in the technician mobile app, allowing field teams to take immediate action, update fault status, and close the work order from the field.

Key Features Utilized

• Asset, Work Order & Preventive Maintenance Modules
• Technician Mobile App for Work Orders, Incidents & Inspections
• Parts & Supplies with Section–Shelf–Bin Mapping
• Incident Management & Reporting
