Reliability improvement: siveco mobile solution ehand's forest rescue plan
for the topic of traditional paper work orders, after the siveco project team conducted a survey of existing customers who are using the CMMS system (coswin, Maximo or sap PM), it was found that most enterprises still print work orders on paper and hand them over to technicians for reference records. After the work, the so-called CMMS System Specialist will input the feedback data into the system. As an ideal information collection and recording tool for on-site inspection and lubrication, ehand mobile solution can not only bring rapid investment returns to enterprises, but also stand at the height of environmental protection, and it can also win project funds for enterprises to implement maintenance and improvement
ehand mobile solution: focus on on on-site inspection and lubrication work
once ehand mobile solution is implemented, the enterprise will equip the technician responsible for on-site inspection with a special handheld mobile terminal (PDA), and load all the work tasks that the technician needs to perform on that day on the PDA:
as for lubrication work: the handheld terminal will display all the work points that technical workers need to perform lubrication work on that day, And mark the specific geographical location of the equipment through clear images. At the same time, the type and quantity of lubrication work, the required tools (such as oil gun, brush, rag, screwdriver and wrench), the factory's safety instruction manual (do's and don't's) and any remarks will be displayed on PDA one by one
for inspection work, PDA can not only display all inspection locations, corresponding equipment operation methods, processes and required tools, but also list an overview of all inspection work to be performed in a week: even if the planned time interval is more than one month and the work has not been completed, technicians can also directly select any time period in this week on site. In addition, in order to facilitate fault diagnosis, the pictures based on the equipment are also marked with normal and abnormal states (when performing corrective maintenance work)
ehand list the inspection work points

ehand income: get a quick return on investment
to sum up, using ehand handheld mobile terminal to automatically load work orders can simplify the planner's daily management and formulation process and abandon the traditional paper work orders
at the same time, technicians can use mobile terminals to collect on-site feedback data in real time, which can also help planners get rid of cumbersome manual entry work
as we all know, paper work orders and manual input are the biggest disadvantages without any value in the current use of CMMS system. In other words, it is much easier and more efficient for technicians to complete the above work by using handheld mobile terminals (without increasing their workload) at the inspection and lubrication work site than by planners afterwards
in addition, inspectors can use ehand to directly create work orders with the current status of equipment through the on-site photo taking function. When encountering technical problems, ehand also allows technicians to directly access the central database (COS easy win, SAP PM or Maximo) to obtain all technical information. For example, when performing temperature measurement, once the recorded value exceeds the normal range, ehand will alert the technician that the equipment temperature is abnormal through an alarm
more importantly, ehand can provide more accurate decision support for patrol inspection and lubrication work: from the perspective of ideal equipment management, the use of ehand can not only effectively reduce the administrative work related to the system, but also without considering the total number of system work orders, An accurate chemical order can be created for a certain equipment (while the implementation concept of traditional CMMS is to create work orders through equipment groups, which reduces paper work on the basis of minimizing the number of work orders, but also ignores the accuracy of information)
Another highlight of ehand mobile solution is that by scanning (pasted on the equipment or measurement/inspection points) bar codes or RFID tags, it can monitor whether technicians actually arrive at the job to carry out work, so as to reduce the operational risk caused by unfinished work. In other words, the use of label scanning as a coercive means to prevent the occurrence of false reports and concealments (due to factors such as time or laziness, lubrication work is often ignored), which is also impossible for paper worktechnicians' on-site scanning
it can be seen that based on the huge technology, the global medical device market in 2012 was roughly 47% of the global drug market. The use of ehand can effectively reduce the impact of personnel mobility on the quality of inspection. It can inform technicians in detail where to go and the work to be performed, so that any qualified technician can effectively carry out patrol inspection even without any prior preparation
ehand's future: improve staff skills
with the progress of the times, patrol inspectors equipped with high-tech auxiliary equipment will become patrol experts who can formulate patrol procedures in the future. Directly reading the workflow stored in the CMMS system through ehand not only frees the inspection work from the dependence on high-quality human resources, but also is the best tool to maintain and organize the training team and transfer technical knowledge
based on the gradual improvement of the accurate technical database, inspectors can use the equipment fault tree (symptoms, faults, causes, actions) to assist in the fault diagnosis of corrective maintenance. The specific process is as follows:
1. The technician scans the barcode of the faulty equipment and inputs the symptoms (select from the predefined list)
2. Ehand will analyze the possible causes of the fault based on the historical fault of the equipment. At the same time, the technician can read all previous work orders of the equipment.
it can be seen from the above that with the help of ehand, the technician can get sufficient guidance and help in the process of diagnosing the equipment fault. The significant benefit of this scheme is that it not only saves the time of diagnosis, but also reduces the equipment downtime. The above reporting process can be expressed in a relatively simple form (normal/abnormal) at the initial stage of ehand implementation
integrate ehand with the existing CMMS system
as mentioned above, the application problem of the traditional CMMS system is that it cannot balance the huge work feedback (for the purpose of analysis) with the corresponding increased administrative workload (data entry)
in this case, enterprises mostly need to add a position of system Secretary for CMMs projects, and this thankless work is generally completed by new employees. The disadvantage of this scheme is not only that the accuracy of the data cannot be guaranteed (on the one hand, the employees in this position generally lack the basic knowledge of maintenance. On the other hand, they also have to read many handwritten paper reports in different formats and input the data into the system), but also that the core personnel of the CMMS project (such as planners, maintenance managers and technical directors) will have a sense of distance from the use of the system, As a result, the system is completely abandoned or only used for administrative management (recording the time spent in work order management)
The implementation essence of CMMS system is to optimize the preventive maintenance work of the factory, that is, based on technical and financial analysis, to continuously improve the type and frequency of the original work. For example, in the work, we found that the inspection cycle of some weekly inspection equipment is actually three months. Therefore, the maintenance team can make a monthly inspection plan adjustment according to the actual situation. The basis of such improved decision-making lies in the accurate system analysis of a large number of historical data. However, due to the inefficient reporting process (paper-based job analysis/manual data entry), the CMMS system can hardly achieve its expected use effectthe implementation process of ehand mobile solution includes:
- stick bar codes or RFID tags on the equipment (which can be completed by the factory itself or entrusted to siveco)
- rebuild or improve the inspection/lubrication method (the existing practical experience is often limited by the CMMS system)
- it: installation and integration (install a standard data synchronization platform to realize the integration of the mobile solution with any CMMS systems such as coswin, Maximo, SAP PM, etc.)
at the same time, ehand mobile project can also clean up the existing outdated or wrong CMMS data (especially the equipment structure). The dynamic stiffness of metal parts is basically the same as the static stiffness. It can be seen that the goal of the value of ehand mobile solution is to activate and add value to the existing CMMS system (see the article "adding value to your SAP system" published in the seventh Newsletter)
look at ehand from another angle: save the forest plan
siveco itself and its customers can now understand the fact that maintenance and improvement can bring rapid return on investment to the enterprise (usually the ROI is one year, while the return time of small projects such as ehand is shorter), but you should know that this may not be a matter of concern to the senior management of the group. Because in practical work, we found that in addition to operation management, most large group companies (multinational and local enterprises) also attach great importance to environmental protection (there are huge business opportunities). Therefore, from another point of view, the bright spot of the plan to completely eliminate paper work orders by introducing ehand may attract the attention of the senior management of the enterprise, and the factory can even obtain the implementation funds of the project
take a metal processing customer of siveco. By using ehand mobile solution, you can save 240 paper work orders per week, and you can cut down a big tree in a cumulative year
does your enterprise have green environmental protection projects? Can you win a large part of the project budget for the maintenance and improvement project? Or at least attract the attention of senior management of the group
please look forward to the next reliability improvement section: save sharks with siveco
