Maintenance Management Software for Manufacturing Plants
MaintBoard is a CMMS that connects each machine to its work orders, preventive maintenance schedule, repair history, and parts used. When a machine stops, your team can see who’s assigned, what was done last time, and what the repair is waiting for.
The machine stopped again. What did we fix last time?
The operator reported the fault in a shift message, the technician wrote the repair notes on a job card, and stores logged the spare in a spreadsheet. When the machine stops again, the team has to piece together the last repair before it can decide what to check.
Repair history is scattered
- Technicians have to track down earlier fault reports, repair notes, and parts used to find out whether they’ve seen the same failure before.
Repair delays are hard to explain
- A supervisor sees the job is open but still has to ask whether it’s waiting for a part, an approval, or access to the machine.
Deferred preventive work is hard to track
- Production needs the line for another run, so an inspection moves. The planner still needs to see that it missed its original due date and needs a new window.
How a conveyor breakdown becomes a repair record
- 1
Report the stop against the conveyor.
- The operator selects the asset and records where the line stopped and what alarm appeared.
- 2
Assign the job and review the last repair.
- The supervisor sets the priority and assigns a technician. The technician checks the conveyor’s history for earlier stops with the same alarm.
- 3
Check the spare and record any delay.
- The team checks stock by storeroom. If the job has to wait for a part, the supervisor records the reason on the work order.
- 4
Record the repair and assign any follow-up.
- The technician records the findings, downtime, and parts used. If the sensor bracket needs further work during a longer stop, the supervisor can raise a separate corrective work order.

What to check when evaluating a manufacturing CMMS
Can you find the last repair from the asset record?
Open a machine and look for previous work orders, downtime, repair notes, and parts used.
Can you see what happened to an overdue job?
Open a preventive work order and check its due date, assignment, status, and completed checklist where recorded.
Can you see where the spare is stocked?
Look up the part, check available quantities by storeroom, and see how usage is recorded against the repair.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a CMMS for manufacturing?
- A computerized maintenance management system helps plant teams track maintenance work, schedule preventive jobs, and keep equipment history and parts usage in one place.
- Can operators report breakdowns from the shop floor?
- Yes. Operators with access can scan a machine’s QR code in the MaintBoard mobile app, open its asset record, and raise a maintenance request.
- Can we schedule preventive maintenance by running hours?
- Yes. Set up meter-based maintenance for equipment that needs service after a specified number of running hours. You can also schedule recurring jobs by date.
- Can we start with our critical machines?
- Yes. Start with the equipment that causes the most production disruption when it stops. Set up its asset records, preventive jobs, and key spares, then add other equipment as you roll out the system.
- How much does MaintBoard cost?
- MaintBoard is sold on an annual subscription. Your quote depends on the plants and users in scope, optional modules, and implementation needs. View Plans and Pricing.
