Intech Systems streamlines manufacturing maintenance and reduces downtime

Intech Systems has developed a Plant Maintenance App fully integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to automate preventive and breakdown maintenance processes for manufacturing operations. The solution provides two modules: Preventive Maintenance and Breakdown Maintenance. It automatically generates job cards based on maintenance schedules and enables supervisors to register complaints for breakdowns. Features include automatic assessment and execution of jobs, cost tracking, support ticketing, and real-time insights to improve machinery uptime. The app is designed to streamline maintenance by providing detailed instruction plans, recording time between failures, and generating actionable reports for better decision-making and efficiency. Seamless integration with Dynamics 365 Business Central allows for minimal operational disruption. The app also helps manage equipment lifecycle data, including vendor info, contracts, insurance, and more. Results observed are optimized maintenance scheduling, reduced production disruptions, enhanced machine performance, and improved ability to track and manage maintenance costs. The Plant Maintenance App aims to reduce downtime and production delays caused by equipment failure, and to enhance overall productivity in manufacturing environments. Users can track spare parts and labor costs associated with each maintenance job. Maintenance strategies can be improved continually by analyzing generated reports such as Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).
