Maintenance Management
Turn Maintenance from Cost Center to Profit Driver Work orders, preventive and predictive maintenance, assets and spare parts on one platform, connected to PLCs, SCADA and historians for real-time monitoring.
The challenge
Unplanned downtime costs manufacturers an average of $50,000 per hour, and poor maintenance practices reduce equipment life by 30-40%. Every unexpected failure cascades through production schedules, disrupting customer deliveries and eroding profitability, while standalone maintenance systems create data silos.
Overview
LOGICAL SYSTEMS Maintenance Management moves maintenance from reactive firefighting to proactive asset optimisation through intelligent work order management, preventive and predictive maintenance and real-time performance analytics. Built on the Inductive Automation Ignition platform, it connects directly with PLCs, SCADA systems and historians for real-time equipment monitoring and automated work order generation, avoiding the data silos of standalone maintenance systems.
Mobile-responsive interfaces connect maintenance teams, operations and management: technicians access work instructions and equipment history on tablets, operators submit maintenance requests with one click, and managers monitor KPIs from executive dashboards. The system scales from single facilities to global manufacturing networks, with multi-site support, Active Directory integration, multi-language and multi-currency support, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for regulated industries. Implementation includes an assessment of current practices, hands-on training, data migration support and change management guidance.
