Asset management software provides a range of vital capabilities for companies with asset-intensive business models. Broadly speaking, EAM software differs from CMMS in that the former manages the asset throughout its life cycle, while the latter focuses primarily on maintenance operations. Given that in this type of company maintenance, in addition to being a value [...]
Managing service providers is part of the daily tasks of maintenance managers. Subcontracting continues to grow, whether in maintenance operations, industrial processes, ancillary equipment or buildings. Preventive and corrective maintenance services are available, as well as those related to regulatory controls. An EAM system designed for maintenance and technical service providers facilitates the day-to-day work [...]
An EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) is a system that enables assets to be managed throughout their life cycle to maximise their potential use in business strategy. One of the main components of an EAM is the CMMS (Maintenance Management System), which allows the efficient management of maintenance plans, both preventive and predictive maintenance operations, as [...]
Working from the beginning on the control and inventory of the assets is a fundamental step to develop a correct valuation of the assets and, in this way, to comply with the requirements of all national and international regulations. Correct recording of assets allows companies to make correct financial and tax decisions; on the one [...]
CMMS stands for Computerized Maintenance Management Software. In Spanish, the term GMAO(Gestión de Mantenimiento Asistida por Orden) is frequently used. The first CMMS appeared in the 80s to replace manual maintenance systems in work order management, inventory management, maintenance planning and asset history. CMMS systems come into play when the asset is created or acquired [...]
Many companies believe that an EAM software consists only of choosing the software and carrying out the implementation, where once these two stages have been passed, the benefits that this software is able to bring to the company will begin to be received. However, to achieve maximum results, once the entire implementation process has been [...]
Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) tools allow managers, especially in companies with a high number of dispersed assets, to have a broad view of the asset life cycle and its relationship to operations. These tools go far beyond a simple Maintenance Manager (GMAO/CMMS) and can include in their analysis financial issues such as full cost of [...]
There was a time when managing corporate physical assets was, by nature, a time-consuming process. Technicians had to pick up their tasks at the office and then return their forms at the end of the day with a lot of paperwork, including timesheets and repair request forms. Now, there is a better way. By becoming [...]
All physical business assets that require some level of maintenance or repair service are generally purchased with appropriate insurance or warranties. Good monitoring of asset warranties can often reduce the cost of repair and maintenance, as keeping a record of warranties allows us to identify which assets are covered, the period of coverage, the cost [...]
EAM asset management applications compile the maintenance history of assets that can be analysed for historical trends. These trends can be used to predict when failure is likely to occur in the future. As a result, preventive inspections or proactive replacements can be scheduled to prevent anticipated failures. Predictive maintenance is a maintenance strategy that [...]
