MaintBoard for Cement Plants
CMMS for Cement Manufacturing Plants
Increase kiln reliability. Reduce downtime. Improve clinker output.
MaintBoard gives cement plants a unified platform to manage kiln maintenance, mill inspections, bag filter checks, lubrication schedules, and plant-wide reliability programs.
Key Benefits
- Maximize kiln availability and reduce stoppages
- Standardize inspections for mills, bag filters, and conveyors
- Increase clinker output through better maintenance planning
- Improve plant safety and compliance documentation
Problems Cement Plants Face Daily
- Kiln Breakdowns & Unplanned Shutdowns
- Kiln stoppages due to refractory issues, drive failures, or lubrication gaps cause massive production loss.
- Inconsistent PM Execution
- Critical PMs like mill lubrication, bag filter cleaning, and cooler inspections are often missed.
- Delayed Spare Parts Availability
- Bearings, rollers, fans, and gearbox spares aren’t tracked properly, causing long stoppages.
- Lack of Real-Time Visibility
- Maintenance supervisors cannot see equipment history, open work, or downtime reasons instantly.
- Weak Safety & Compliance Readiness
- Auditors need documented proof of PMs, inspections, calibrations, and safety checks.
- Fragmented Communication Across Departments
- Production, quality, maintenance, and stores work in silos leading to delays and misalignment.
