Equipment Management transforms the way manufacturers handle their assets. This module provides a robust framework for monitoring equipment availability, preventing the usage of non-calibrated tools and equipment, and ensuring compliance by logging usage and maintenance for containment and audit purposes. It eliminates inefficiencies caused by insufficient tracking systems or reliance on manual logs.
Manufacturo’s Equipment Management includes a tool registry that enables manufacturers to record all equipment and tools in a hierarchy, track their status, and monitor maintenance and calibration dates to ensure that only properly calibrated tools are used in production.
Centralized asset oversight consolidates all equipment information, including status, location, and maintenance history, into a single source of truth. Asset managers can quickly identify available tools, reducing downtime and inefficiencies.
Calibration allows tracking of calibrated schedules and status so that it prevents the usage of the calibrated equipment to prevent quality escapes and very costly containment issues. It also provides a full use of the history of all the equipment for compliance and audit purposes.
Dynamic usage logging enables a record of equipment usage against work orders or procedures in real time. This ability ensures traceability required for quick identification of tools used in any manufacturing step. Containment actions in case of defects are much faster and simpler.
The class-based approach utilizes a multilevel classification system to group equipment by functionality, size, or other attributes vital for manufacturing procedures. This is critical as it allows planning based on tool capabilities or classifications rather than specific tools or models. This structure ensures intuitive and quick access to the right tools, enabling greater flexibility and capacity for using a greater number of tools to perform the same task .
The connection between equipment and Manufacturo’s ALERTIgo is possible to enhance maintenance scheduling. Upon request, the system can send alerts, such as emails, notifying users of a tool's status change or upcoming inspection/calibration. This ensures tools are maintained proactively and ready when needed, minimizing downtime and extending equipment lifespan.
The revision-controlled workflow is up and running as soon as your documents are uploaded to Manufacturo. In just minutes, your documents are visible and ready for use throughout the MES and organization.
Enhanced and simplified reporting maintains detailed audit trails for each piece of equipment, including calibration records and usage logs. This streamlines regulatory compliance and fosters customer confidence during quality checks.
Ensure the right tool is used at the right time, in the right condition, and with proper calibration. This guarantees your parts pass audits and internal checks, giving you confidence in your operations and peace of mind.
