Gestión de operaciones de activos para equipos de mantenimiento

Something is broken in the world of maintenance, reliability, and operations. Our State of Maintenance 2021 report revealed that 59% of those who use an integrated CMMS/ERP system said their software is difficult to use. Furthermore, 34% of the industry is still using pen and paper, spreadsheets, or nothing at all to track their maintenance activities. These habits cause disconnected information silos, which in turn, cause team frustration, downtime, and lost productivity. 

It’s clear that there needs to be a better solution. 

UpKeep has created the concept of Asset Operations Management, which is based on a holistic, company-wide view and supported by easy-to-use, affordable technology that delivers the same powerful capabilities as costly, enterprise-grade solutions. This is a new way to tackle the problems currently plaguing asset-intensive companies. 

Asset Operations Management threads together an organization’s technician services, passive and active data, and unique operational blueprint to make it easier and faster for every employee to get what they need to do their jobs successfully.

In the first of our blog series on Asset Operations Management, we’ll outline what this new paradigm means for maintenance teams.

Easier Work Management

Asset Operations Management is one centralized command center for your maintenance team. Having one centralized command center allows an organization to drive accountability, streamline workflows, and utilize maintenance data. It also acts as a dynamic knowledge base—a source of truth across fragmented resources, eliminating information silos and connecting teams across departments and locations. 

By grouping an organization’s fragmented systems, workers can quickly locate answers without constantly switching between platforms. The goal is to achieve a unified view of everything—assets, teams, schedules, devices—all creating data and insights that ultimately lead to easier work management. 

Deeper Reporting and Analytics

Data is at the center of maintenance with Asset Operations Management. Teams can use the platform to analyze asset performance and optimize long-term efficiency over an asset’s lifetime. Real-time performance data coupled with remote condition sensor data also allows maintenance teams to understand critical business metrics 

Once data is unsiloed, teams can receive granular data on each interaction to find ways to enhance and optimize performance. Maintenance teams can easily create comprehensive reports, build their own dashboards, and leverage all the data the team generates to gain essential insights. 

The next generation maintenance will come from collecting the right data, displaying the best insights, and providing actionable feedback. Asset Operations Management gives maintenance teams this opportunity.

Better Use of Resources

The Asset Operations data collected across different channels synthesizes to show insights and drive work efficiency. This data can then be used to prioritize and direct efforts to tasks that actually matter. It changes the conversation from “How many hours did you work today?” to “This is the value you’ve added to the business today.”

Every company wants to improve the bottom line as much as possible. So, why do companies work so independently to achieve this? Asset Operations brings departments together to better execute preventive maintenance programs, which reduces equipment downtime and helps assets achieve their full useful life.

Greater Visibility and Control

Asset Operations Management provides a complete picture of all work orders performed with nothing falling through the cracks. Not only does this optimize overall service but also workload balance. Teams are able to automatically load-balance tasks based on existing volume and be their most productive.

Asset Operations Management represents a new approach to how organizations become more reliable, efficient, and adept at making informed decisions. This new approach is built with maintenance teams in mind, and is coupled with an affordable, easy-to-use, and flexible solution. 

With Asset Operations Management, maintenance teams can be seen as a revenue generator instead of a cost center. It’s a mobile-first experience that gets buy-in for the platform from day 1.
