Maintenance Document Management Software for Manufacturing Plants
MaintBoard helps plant maintenance teams find manuals, drawings, procedures, and certificates from the equipment record. Technicians can pull up the file they need for a job, and supervisors can retrieve supporting records during a review.
- Keep manuals, drawings, and certificates with the relevant equipment.
- Search and filter files by equipment and document type.
- Find the records needed for maintenance reviews and audits.
The technician found the manual. Is it for this machine?
Two similar air handling units use different wiring diagrams. A technician preparing a repair needs the drawing for the unit on the work order and a way to tell which revision applies.
Similar filenames hide the right drawing
- A shared folder can hold several wiring diagrams with similar names for different units.
Shared copies are hard to trace
- A file forwarded in chat can be difficult to trace back to its source and applicable revision.
Unlinked certificates take longer to find
- A certificate is harder to retrieve when the file gives little indication of the equipment or work it covers.
How to organize documents around an asset

Review what is on file
- Check the document source, upload details, and revision information your team maintains. Add a missing certificate or updated drawing to the relevant record.
