Maintenance planning and scheduling
Challenge
Maintenance managers and plant mechanics must balance equipment uptime, technician availability, and production windows—often under competing priorities. When failures occur, ad-hoc calls and spreadsheet juggling drive compromises, longer downtime, higher costs, and increased risk of unplanned interruptions.
Solution
The assistant connects equipment-health sensors, maintenance histories, technician rosters, parts inventory, and production priorities. It computes optimal schedules in seconds, presents scenario options with explicit trade-offs (production impact, maintenance cost, long-term reliability), updates the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), and notifies teams with clear work orders and dependencies.
Benefits
-
Cuts downtime through condition-based timing and rapid rescheduling.
-
Improves resource utilization: right technician, parts, and time slot aligned to production priorities.
-
Increases planning transparency with side-by-side scenarios showing cost and throughput impact.
-
Reduces manual coordination effort and escalation risk during unexpected breakdowns.
