Centix Online Basis has four types of maintenance which are all organized differently. Corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance and usage-based maintenance. In addition, event-driven maintenance using sensoring is possible through an API. In Centix all types of maintenance can be used together, also per asset.
Corrective maintenance
Corrective maintenance is maintenance carried out to restore a faulty or underperforming asset to its required operational condition. Centix provides comprehensive support for corrective maintenance through service requests and work items. Users can submit a service request by scanning the QR code of an asset or location. This automatically creates a work item, which can then be reviewed, prioritised and scheduled for execution.This approach is widely used by service organisations, where customers can report faults, as well as in industrial environments, where production employees submit service requests to the maintenance department.
Preventive maintenance
Preventive maintenance, also known as scheduled maintenance, consists of routine maintenance tasks carried out at fixed time intervals. Its purpose is to prevent failures, minimise defects and maintain or improve asset performance. This is the most commonly used type of maintenance in Centix. Maintenance intervals can vary by asset type, and maintenance plans are configured accordingly. For example, maintenance for motors, pumps and valves is typically scheduled at regular intervals. Maintenance activities can be carried out using Centix OnSite.
Use based maintenance
Usage-based maintenance is meter reading-oriented maintenance. Maintenance is scheduled based on the actual use of the asset. In Centix this is supported by the meter readings. It takes into account daily use of the asset and uses this to define an expiration date to perform maintenance. For example, maintenance can be scheduled every so many operating hours or kilometers. This is often used, for example, for maintenance of a generator, engine, conveyor belts, but also for service vehicles.
Event based maintenance
A final type of maintenance is event-based maintenance. In this, maintenance is organized on the basis of a number of events. An application with this is the reading of vibration or temperature sensors. These contain an alarm value. If this value is exceeded, a maintenance task is created. Often used in installation technology, building management systems, production companies and industry. Event based maintenance is possible in Centix through an API.
