MaintBoard for Automotive Manufacturing
CMMS for Automotive OEMs & Parts Manufacturers
Reduce breakdowns. Protect throughput. Keep production running at peak performance.
MaintBoard helps automotive plants manage stamping presses, welding robots, machining centers, paint shops, conveyors, utilities, and QA equipment—all in one maintenance platform.
Key Benefits
- Reduce unplanned stoppages across body, paint, and assembly
- Standardize PMs for presses, robots, CNCs, and conveyors
- Ensure IATF, ISO, and customer audit readiness
- Improve spare parts planning and reduce maintenance delays
Maintenance Challenges in Automotive Manufacturing
- Press Line & Robot Failures
- Stamping presses, welding robots, and handling robots cause major downtime when lubrication or calibration is missed.
- High Production Pressure
- Automotive lines run at tight takt time. A single breakdown stops the entire production chain.
- Complex PM Scheduling
- CNCs, conveyors, ovens, paint shops, utilities, and assembly fixtures need strict PM discipline.
- Weak Spare Parts Visibility
- Critical spares like bearings, sensors, grippers, servo motors, and hydraulic parts aren’t tracked properly.
- Root-Cause Not Documented
- Maintenance teams fix issues fast but fail to capture RCA—leading to repeat failures.
- IATF & Customer Audits
- Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers struggle to maintain full maintenance traceability for OEM customer audits.
