Effective Operator Maintenance

It is more and more common that the machine operators take responsibility for service and basic maintenance work such as oil checking, cleaning and periodical replacement of tools or filters. They also take a large responsibility in the quality control process. A common problem is that the operator maintenance does not get done or followed up on when everything is reported in paper form.
With access to to-do lists directly in the operators downtime coding view and in mobile devices and with access to subtasks and descriptions the operators have no need for binders or access to other systems. Effortless immediate reporting of performed work and input of quality control gives control over the operator maintenance process and secures traceability.
Skip the Papers at the Machine
With the help of Aptean OEE Operator Task it is easy to connect these identified recurrent maintenance and service tasks to calendar time and/or to operational conditions. Operators can focus on the operation of one or more machines and still have full control over the tasks to be done without checking lists and documentation on paper or going in to a maintenance system.
