Preventive maintenance is a structured approach to maintaining equipment before a fault occurs. The goal is to reduce the chance of failure by carrying out checks, inspections, and servicing at planned intervals. It reduces unplanned downtime, improves reliability, and helps organisations avoid costly emergency repairs.
Preventive maintenance is typically based on time, usage hours, or cycle frequency. For example, a machine might be inspected every 3 months or after a set number of operating hours. This approach helps keep equipment in good condition and protects production performance. It also supports workplace safety, because equipment is less likely to fail unexpectedly.
How this applies to WorkfloPlus
WorkfloPlus supports preventive maintenance by guiding workers through step-by-step digital work instructions for scheduled servicing. Each step can include evidence capture, such as photos, notes, or digital signatures. As a result, companies can prove that each service step was completed correctly.
WorkfloPlus stores this data digitally. Therefore, managers can view completion records instantly and identify upcoming maintenance requirements more easily. Preventive maintenance becomes more reliable, more consistent, and easier to manage across all sites.
