Frequently Asked Questions About Preventive Maintenance Software

Why Do I Need Preventative Maintenance Software?

Our preventive maintenance program ensures an automatic schedule of PM tasks, simplifying adherence to manufacturer guidelines. These schedules and inspections help spot issues before they occur, minimizing costly disruptions. Maintenance intervals can be set based on time, operating hours, or part condition—triggering work orders just before inefficiencies or failures arise.

The program also ensures equipment is properly calibrated, lubricated, and maintained at the right time. Properly cared-for assets perform more efficiently, consume less energy, and fail less often—significantly extending their usable life. By establishing and consistently performing preventive maintenance procedures, organizations can avoid serious problems caused by neglect and delay the need for costly repairs or replacements.

What Are the Features I'll Need for Preventative Maintenance Software?

These eight features should be available in preventive maintenance software…

Asset Records store details about equipment, buildings, vehicles, or other assets—asset name, purchase date, purchase price, serial number, location, and other important details.
Employee Records store information about your employees—names, contact information, certifications, etc.
Inventory Records record details about spare parts and consumables you have on hand—type, model, serial number, manufacturer, supplier name, location name, item number, item state, unit of measure, etc.
Work Orders link all the elements of repair and maintenance work in one place.
Basic Inventory Management helps you keep up with the spare parts and consumables you have on hand.
Basic Reporting tools help you create meaningful information from the data recorded for assets, employees, inventory, schedules, and work orders.
Scheduling enables you to establish, monitor, and execute PM tasks (both time- and meter-based).
Service Requesting is essential when you get repair requests from either internal departments or outside customers—allowing users to enter and initiate service requests, and then monitor the progress of the requests as your team completes repairs.

What’s the difference between Preventive Maintenance vs. Predictive Maintenance?

Preventive maintenance is triggered by time, meter, or event. This type of maintenance is based on average or expected life statistics (usually determined by the equipment manufacturer or vendor). The most common example is changing the oil in a car every X,000 miles or every X months.

Preventive maintenance is one of the first steps to reduce run-to-failure maintenance in favor of a more proactive maintenance program. Additionally, CMMS excels at helping maintenance shops schedule preventive maintenance tasks, preventing failure and prolonging asset life cycles.

Predictive maintenance means different things to different people. Usually, maintenance professionals define it as gathering data on the actual condition of equipment to determine when maintenance is needed—sometimes called condition-based maintenance (CBM). CBM allows you to track meters and gauges on assets, and to trigger work orders at specific points. You can gather the data manually or automatically, and your CMMS software stores the data and alerts maintenance staff to take action.

For example, condition-monitoring tools and CMMS software can analyze how the asset is working—maybe by measuring operating temperature or oil viscosity, etc. This data helps spot signs of potential problems. Then CMMS software sends alerts before breakdowns occur.

Discover how simple predictive maintenance can boost PM effectiveness.

What’s the difference between Timed vs. Metered Preventive Maintenance with CMMS Software?

Timed preventive maintenance is simply based on the time between PM tasks—such as days, weeks, months, etc. A good example is inspections, which need to be performed at specific time intervals to help maintenance teams spot issues before they occur.

Metered PM scheduling measures usage using a specific meter, which triggers a PM task at the appropriate time. Meter readings track and measure the condition of equipment, machinery, vehicles, and other assets—such as mileage, usage time, production volume, pressure, flow rate, etc.

Over time these meter readings create historical data for the asset, which maintenance managers can use to determine if repairs were successful or if they should adjust the PM schedule based on performance.
