Maintenance

The maintenance module is where Beelocity tracks the equipment you keep running — production machines, vehicles, buildings, IT gear, tooling — and the work you do to keep them working. It pairs with Manufacturing but lives independently: a maintenance work order can run while a production work order is in progress on the same machine, and most assets that have no production role at all (forklifts, HVAC, IT servers) still get the same plan-and-track lifecycle.

This guide covers each part of the module:

• Assets — the register of everything you maintain: machines, vehicles, buildings, tooling. Includes the asset class taxonomy and functional locations.
• Asset Documents — manuals, drawings, certificates, and other files you attach to an asset so the right paperwork is one click away.
• Failure Catalog — the controlled vocabulary your floor uses to describe what broke (problem), why (cause), and what was done about it (remedy).
• Failure-Mode Mappings — the links you set up between an asset class and its likely problems, causes, and remedies, so the right codes are suggested first.
• Meter Readings — counter-based tracking of usage: hours on a forklift, kilometers on a truck, cycles on a press. Drives usage-based maintenance plans.
• Maintenance Plans — recurring inspections and overhauls triggered by time, usage, or condition readings. The scheduler turns these into work orders ahead of due date.
• Work Requests — what the floor submits when they see a problem. Triaged into a maintenance work order or rejected.
• Maintenance Work Orders — the intervention itself: labor, parts, downtime, and the running cost of the work.
• Spare Parts — asset-to-part associations, kits for routine PMs, and critical-spare min/max policies that auto-emit purchase requisitions.
• KPIs — MTBF, MTTR, availability, planned-vs-unplanned ratio, backlog age, PM compliance, and the reliability score.
