4. What makes the AX Smartenance maintenance software special?
The AX Smartenance CMMS software was developed in close cooperation with the production department and is continuously improved through user feedback. Our software was developed not only for users, but also by users who work in the maintenance and service process every day. The involvement of different roles in this process guarantees a high level of acceptance at all levels of staff. This direct involvement of users enables AX Smartenance to offer practical solutions that meet the diverse requirements and challenges of day-to-day maintenance work.
5. Which industries can benefit from computerized maintenance management system software?
AX Smartenance CMMS software is suitable for a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, energy, transportation, facility management, food production and many more. Any industry that maintains systems, equipment or vehicles can profit from Smartenance.
6. How is the ROI (return on investment) for the AX Smartenance CMMS system measured?
ROI can be measured using criteria such as reduced downtime, increased system availability, improved workflows, reduced maintenance costs and increased overall productivity.
7. How does maintenance software influence my key figures (MTTR, MTTF, MTBF and OEE)?
The AX Smartenance maintenance software optimizes the mean time between failures (MTBF*) and mean time to failure (MTTF**) with targeted measures such as improved maintenance planning and the logbook.
The mean time to repair (MTTR***) also benefits from the maintenance software by contributing to faster repairs through transparency and a knowledge database. The holistic optimization of these key figures leads to increased overall equipment effectiveness (OEE****), which increases the overall efficiency of the systems and leads to less downtime.
- *MTBF = The average time between two consecutive faults and failures.
- **MTTF = The average time until faults and failures occur.
- ***MTTR = The average time to repair faults and failures.
- ****OEE = Measure of a system's overall performance, taking into account availability, performance and quality.
8. What role does the AX Smartenance CMMS solution play in predictive maintenance?
The AX Smartenance CMMS system plays a central role in predictive maintenance by collecting and managing data from the maintenance process. This data is transferred to the Festo AX AI algorithms via an interface (API) and analyzed. This makes it possible to identify potential failures at an early stage. This also allows maintenance activities to be carried out exactly when they are needed.
Unplanned downtimes are minimized or even prevented. These forward-looking approaches increase maintenance efficiency and optimize system service life.
9. How secure is my data in the AX Smartenance maintenance software, and where is my data stored?
The Smartenance CMMS offers your company various security functions such as encryption, access controls and regular backups to ensure data integrity and confidentiality. To make the Smartenance maintenance software and your data globally available to all teams, the data is stored in a protected cloud. The data is stored in accordance with European data protection standards with MS Azure (on servers in Europe).
