Maximize your system’s availability

Logistics systems have to be highly available. Period. That’s why our maintenance management tool KiSoft CMMS integrates all maintenance tasks seamlessly into your daily operations and prioritizes errors based on the components affected. Our computerized maintenance management system is a software solution that optimizes the availability of your system, manages your spare parts stocks and increases the productivity of your maintenance team – all based on your company’s individual requirements. KiSoft CMMS also forms an essential part of our smart maintenance concept.

System maintenance: A balancing act between availability and costs

There is no way around it: Regular maintenance is key to ensuring the availability and long service life of your system. While certain costs such as labor and spare parts are easy to account for, other expenses are not always so obvious. Hidden maintenance expenses include the cost of standstills, since your system is stopped for a short time during maintenance. They also include the cost of lost productivity as your employees can’t do their work while the system is stopped. Delayed deliveries to your end customers are another possible consequence. Only replacing components in line with the manufacturer’s directions instead of according to their actual condition can result in higher costs for spare parts, not to mention a greater environmental impact. Our proactive maintenance strategy will help you to reduce these indirect maintenance costs.

Intelligent maintenance management for every challenge

KiSoft CMMS is our tool that helps you successfully meet maintenance challenges.

Service life of your system

Logistics systems usually operate for two decades or more. The longer your system is live, the more it contributes to your company’s financial success. To keep your system up and running as long as possible, system parts need to be maintained and wear parts replaced regularly so that all parts of your system will continue doing what they’re supposed to for many years to come.

Balance between operations and service

Interrupting operations for maintenance or repair is never something you do happily, and it can get expensive fast. That’s why it’s important to find the best possible time for maintenance – so you can minimize or even eliminate the impact it has on your operations.

Time and quality pressure

Ideally, maintenance is performed quickly and by the book. If maintenance takes too long, the interruption to operations can get costly. And if maintenance isn’t performed correctly, significant damage and even longer downtimes can result.

Benefits of KiSoft CMMS

KiSoft CMMS is a comprehensive, cloud-based maintenance management solution that includes all aspects of system maintenance and consists of different modules:

  • KiSoft CMMS Basic
    KiSoft CMMS Basic forms the foundation for comprehensive maintenance job management and allows you to plan upcoming maintenance automatically or manually. Integrated asset management also helps you to always keep an eye on your components in the warehouse. It lets you define different maintenance intervals and asset zones as you benefit from preventive maintenance based on available data, always knowing when maintenance is due next. Thanks to comprehensive reporting, you can always keep an eye on everything that’s important.
  • Spare Parts Management
    This additional expansion lets you manage all your spare parts in KiSoft CMMS. With it, you’ll always know what quantity of which spare part is in the warehouse, and where it’s stored. If a spare part reaches a critical stock level, you can create an order directly in KiSoft CMMS to ensure that you have all the spare parts you need at all times.
  • Time recording for your maintenance team
    Maintenance technicians can log their hours directly in KiSoft CMMS or in the mobile app. If you have a fixed shift schedule, logged hours can be imported from the schedule or from an external time recording system. KiSoft CMMS also assists you in creating these schedules automatically based on your technicians’ availability.
  • SCADA connection
    KiSoft CMMS is connected to a SCADA system. When events requiring maintenance occur, tasks are automatically created and assigned to a member of your maintenance team. Furthermore, you’ll have access to data from SCADA that you can evaluate using KiSoft CMMS to calculate statistics such as MTBF (mean time between failures), MTBR (mean time between repairs), components with the most failures, and downtime distribution.
  • Availability calculation
    All this information helps determine the total availability of your system so you always know whether your system is operating at the optimal level. You can analyze this information for just a single day or for longer periods of time.
