Driving user adoption of the CMMS is by no means an insurmountable problem, but still remains an issue that cannot be overlooked. Without technicians’ buy-in, the full benefits of the system will not be achieved. Before getting into the ways that to encourage maintenance technicians to adopt CMMS software, let’s begin with a brief overview of the issues that lead to their reluctance in the first place. 

Making the decision to shift maintenance operations from manual methods to software is a huge step. The process can also be overwhelming and confusing for many professionals especially if you have had little to no experience with maintenance and asset management software in the past.

In today’s fast-paced industrial landscape, minimizing downtime is crucial for businesses to maintain productivity and profitability. Equipment breakdowns, maintenance delays, and inefficient processes can lead to significant downtime, resulting in lost revenue and increased costs. However, with the right tools and strategies in place, such as a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), organizations can effectively reduce downtime and optimize their operations.

Criticality analysis is a structured process to quantify how important an asset is to the organization by determining the level of risk specific failure modes pose. Criticality analysis is used extensively in high-risk industries like petrochemical, mining and chemical processing.  By varying the level of detail, any organization can use the process to reduce risk and lower overall manufacturing costs. 

When it comes to managing a solar photovoltaic (PV) farm, there are a lot of factors to consider. From maintenance and repairs to managing assets and optimizing performance, it can be a complex undertaking. Fortunately, there are tools available that can help streamline these processes and improve operational efficiency. One such tool is a Computerized Maintenance Management Software system (CMMS) with a mobile version for your solar power farms.

The new expectations from O&M teams require a more conscious approach to the tools in their armory, starting with process digitization to improve operational transparency for all stakeholders. This translates to smoother records, communication, and eliminates guesswork when it comes to data.
