What Is CMMS Software?
Computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) help organizations track the
upkeep of their assets and associated costs of the work, with the ultimate goal
of prolonging an assets lifespan at minimal expense. This could include
maintaining assets in a single facility or a range of facilities, or maintaining
a group of equipment like a fleet of vehicles or other types of machinery.
CMMS and enterprise asset management (EAM) systems are closely related, and the
terms are often used interchangeably. However, CMMS is a departmental
application used by maintenance departments, while EAM is accessible across the
entire enterprise. CMMS is implemented to prolong the lifespan of physical
assets. EAM, on the other hand, oversees all of an organizations assets,
including fixed assets, IT assets and digital assets.
This is Maintenance Connection s CMMS module menu
There are industry-specific maintenance management systems, too. Weve written
buyers guides that cover CMMS for specific industries, including fleet
management software, equipment maintenance software applications and aircraft
MRO software, as well as a guide for Web-based solutions.
Common Features of CMMS Software
Asset tracking Maintains information about an organizations assets (equipment,
machines, buildings, fleets etc.). This includes when the asset was purchased,
its expected lifetime, warranty information, the upkeep history, costs,
depreciation and more. It may be used by several departments, including
accounting and maintenance. Vendors that offer asset tracking include eRPortal
CMMS, eMaint X3 and Maintenance Connection.
Inventory tracking and purchasing Tracks parts, tools and other materials
required to perform routine upkeep. Features may include a scheduling system for
personnel to reserve tools; an auto-notifier to alert staff when more materials
need to be purchased; and support for multiple currencies. Many vendors offer a
purchasing module that allows you to keep track of where you purchased supplies,
when they were ordered, the total cost and the quantity ordered. This module may
be able to send out automated requests for quotes to suppliers when the stock of
an item is low. Examples of vendors offering this functionality include
ManagerPlus and 4Site.
Preventive maintenance Preventive maintenance software allows you to schedule
tasks based on meter readings, dates, or by setting up custom triggers. You can
view all current and future maintenance activity on a calendar. You can also set
up custom groups and routes. Some systems also have a preventive task library to
help define the right tasks and procedures. Example vendors include Sprocket
CMMS and Series4000.
Predictive upkeep and condition monitoring Minimizes surprise failures by

monitoring the condition of assets and analyzing historical trends in asset

performance. These applications automatically schedule tasks based on
performance indicators like noise, vibration, temperature, corrosion, pressure
and flow. Users can define upper and lower boundaries of these parameters for
each asset, and automatically create a work order when a reading falls outside
the boundary. Bigfoot CMMS, Tabware by AssetPoint and eMaint X3 offer intuitive
condition monitoring solutions.
Work order Manages the work order process. This includes scheduling repairs,
assigning personnel to the job, reserving materials, recording costs, tracking
the cause of the problem, tracking downtime and making recommendations for
future action. Other features may include permission and notification settings,
department and technician routing and a portal where customers or other
employees can submit work order requests. Vendors providing work order tracking
include MPulse, WOW! On the Web and NetFacilities.
Important Features to Consider
Mobile capabilities. Technicians often work in the field. The use of mobile
devices has become prevalent in this market, providing personnel with the
capability to immediately update records and make data available across the
organization. Mobile tools can also generate work orders directly from the
device, track labor and inventory use and issue, return and receive parts in
real-time.
Vendors like Micromain offer mobile dashboards
Other examples of mobile capabilities often offered in some CMMS include:
QR/barcoding capabilities. Many CMMS provide quick response (QR) coding and
barcoding capabilities. Scanning an assets code provides a glimpse into its
entire maintenance history, giving immediate insight to the last task performed,
the next upkeep due, troubleshooting notes, warranty information and more. These
capabilities also allow technicians to include notes about an asset that are
immediately accessible organization-wide.
Voice recognition. Technicians often need to use both of their hands while
performing work. Voice recognition capabilities empower technicians to record
notes hands-free. In addition, speech-to-text features allow voice notes to be
automatically converted to text and entered into the CMMS. This saves time that
would otherwise be spent transcribing notes by hand for manual data entry.
Asset ranking tools. Asset ranking tools grade equipment performance,
highlighting equipment thats historically underperformed or tends to perform
well. This helps organizations identify equipment that needs replacement or
repair. These tools calculate the costs of operating equipment as well as
predicted asset lifespans based on performance. Asset ranking tools create a
sense of transparency that can save time and money, while reducing the
likelihood of reactive maintenance over time.
Bigfoot CMMS offers an asset grading feature.

Using CMMS to Earn LEED-EB Credits
Energy and atmosphere is one of nine key areas measured by the U.S. Green
Building Council for LEED-EB (Existing Building) certification. By using a CMMS
to monitor meter readings including pressure, temperature, voltage and hours in
operation, personnel can pinpoint poorly performing equipment. This can help
organizations achieve an overall reduction in energy consumption.
For example, 100 Park Avenue in Manhattan received the LEED-EB Gold
Certification in 2014, after recieving a Silver Certification in 2009. Re-certif
ication
is available every five years, and the U.S. Green Building Council upgraded the
property s rating for improving efficiency, including achieving 77 percent
recycle rates and a water consumption reduction of 10 percent since 2009.

Growth predicted in U.S. manufacturing. U.S. manufacturing production is
expected to grow by about 4 percent in both 2015 and 2016, according to a report
from the Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation. Despite a lull
in auto manufacturing, 23 industries should see growth, due to new employment,
lower debt and rising consumer wealth.
Reshoring of U.S. manufacturing is slowing. New research reveals that the
reshoring of manufacturing jobs, where formerly overseas production returns to
or near the U.S., is slowing; though the initiative is still in its infancy.
While cheaper labor costs typically encourage the offshoring of manufacturing,
many industries moved operations closer to the U.S. to shorten the supply chain
to consumers.
