Preventive Maintenance Software for Manufacturing Plants
MaintBoard helps plant teams schedule preventive maintenance, assign recurring work, and see which jobs were completed on time. Technicians record readings and findings on the work order, and supervisors can assign repairs that come out of a check.
- Set recurring jobs by date or meter reading.
- Give technicians a checklist for each machine.
- Review overdue PMs and track corrective work from findings.
What happens when production needs the machine back?
A lubrication job is moved because the line is still running. At the next planning meeting, the team needs to know which checks were done and when the rest can be completed.
Deferred PMs slip
- When production needs the line, a lubrication job can carry into the next week without a new date.
Readings go unrecorded
- A checked box shows that the step was done. The next technician still needs the reading or observation.
PM findings need repairs
- A technician may find a worn belt during a check. Replacing it may require a separate work order.
From a recurring plan to a completed PM
Take a weekly check on a conveyor drive. The checklist and due date give the supervisor a clear job to assign and review.
Step 1
Build the plan
- Choose the conveyor, set the frequency, and add the lubrication, belt condition, and drive checks.
Step 2
Assign the scheduled job
- Coordinate the due work with production and give the technician the checklist.
Step 3
Record what was found
- The technician completes the steps and records a worn belt. Assign a corrective work order for the replacement and track it separately.

Examples from the plant
Compressors
Schedule service by running hours where the meter is maintained.
Conveyor drives
Plan routine lubrication and condition checks during line availability.
Packaging equipment
Use repeatable inspection steps and record defects for the next maintenance window.
What to review before next week's schedule
Review the equipment affected and agree when it can be released.
Overdue jobs
Check whether a corrective order has been assigned and completed.

Preventive Maintenance FAQs
- Can we schedule PMs by running hours?
- Yes. Use a meter-based schedule where you maintain equipment running-hour readings. Calendar schedules are available for work due by date.
- Can technicians complete PM checklists on mobile?
- Yes. Technicians can open assigned work and complete the checklist in MaintBoard's Android app where mobile devices are permitted.
- What if an inspection uncovers a fault?
- Record the finding and create a corrective work order when it needs separate work. The completed PM remains in the asset history.
