Discover how the use of mobile apps can improve autonomous maintenance and modernize your maintenance operations.

Autonomous maintenance is a fundamental process for ensuring the quality of a company’s assets. It is essential for competitiveness in the market and for optimizing production processes. However, in order for this maintenance to be well-performed and yield results, it is necessary to use tools that allow for control and monitoring of asset management processes.

In this context, the use of mobile apps is extremely important for autonomous maintenance, as it allows all processes to be monitored quickly, simply, and efficiently.

Does your company already use mobile resources to streamline its operations? Learn more about how these apps can provide advantages in autonomous maintenance processes.

What is autonomous maintenance?

Autonomous maintenance is a service that integrates one of the stages of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and aims to make employees of a company capable of maintaining the basic conditions of all equipment and tools. It is the foundation of this methodology and aims to improve the operation culture.

Autonomous maintenance involves training operational teams to apply basic techniques in equipment and facility maintenance. Thus, with simple and routine care, potential problems can be identified and resolved before they become a major failure.

These care tasks range from cleaning and lubrication to adjustments and settings of more specific machines, in other words, a reliability-based maintenance.

Why is autonomous maintenance important?

Autonomous maintenance is important because it offers several benefits to the company. It contributes to improving productivity, reducing costs, increasing product and service quality, and improving safety in the workplace. In addition, it allows the company to have greater control over assets, such as machines, equipment, and processes.

This methodology also helps to reduce costs with preventive and corrective maintenance, as it ensures that problems will be identified and resolved before they cause greater damage, thus improving the availability and stability of assets and enhancing operator skills.

How do mobile apps contribute to autonomous maintenance?

Mobile apps are a great tool for improving the autonomous maintenance process. Through them, it is possible to monitor assets more quickly and accurately, ensuring that processes are monitored effectively. Thus, we can say that they facilitate in three areas:

  • Management: help to intuitively control and manage equipment, enhancing data analysis and decision making;
  • Monitoring: reduce manual tasks, errors, costs, and downtime;
  • Execution: allow information about equipment, work orders, checklists, documents, and images to be shared in real-time among operators.

Imagine having all the data on assets, including maintenance history, in the palm of your hand! Thus, remote teams can work together, sharing the same data in real-time, even in routine and basic tasks of daily maintenance.

The use of mobile apps for autonomous maintenance enables better control and monitoring of assets, as well as ensuring greater speed, accuracy, and efficiency in processes. If your company does not yet use this resource to modernize its operations, it is important to consider all the benefits it can bring.
