Mobile Maintenance Software for Manufacturing Plants
MaintBoard's Android app brings assigned work, equipment records, and spare parts lookup to the shop floor. Operators can report a fault against the machine, and technicians can record what they checked while the details are fresh.
- Open assigned work orders and check their status.
- Scan a machine's QR code to open its record or raise a request.
- Complete checklists, enter readings, and look up parts by storeroom.
The next shift needs more than a message saying 'checked'
A conveyor repair is waiting for a spare. The next technician needs the right equipment record, the checks already completed, and the reason the job is on hold.
Messages can identify the wrong machine
- When two conveyors look alike, a short message can send the technician to the wrong asset.
Readings get lost when recorded later
- A technician writing up checks after the job may miss the value or observation recorded at the machine.
Hold reasons get lost at handover
- The next shift needs to know why the repair is waiting and which checks are already complete.
