What features do manufacturing teams need in a CMMS?
Manufacturing maintenance requires equipment tracking, meter-based scheduling, parts management, and offline access. WorkUpCMMS delivers all of these without the complexity or cost of enterprise systems.
Equipment tracking with full history
Every asset has a complete maintenance history — work orders, parts used, costs, downtime. QR codes on equipment let technicians scan to see history or create a new work order instantly.
Meter-based preventive maintenance
Schedule PMs by runtime hours, cycles, or any meter reading — not just calendar dates. The system automatically generates work orders when thresholds are reached so critical equipment never falls behind on maintenance.
Parts inventory with reorder points
Track parts across storerooms, set minimum stock levels, and consume parts directly from work orders. Know what you have, where it is, and when to reorder before you run out.
Offline mobile for the plant floor
Manufacturing floors often have poor connectivity. The mobile app works fully offline — technicians view assignments, log work, and scan QR codes without a signal. Everything syncs when they reconnect.
PM scheduling that prevents breakdowns
Create recurring maintenance schedules for every piece of equipment. Time-based and meter-based triggers ensure nothing gets missed. Reduce unplanned downtime by catching issues before they become emergencies.
Vendor coordination for specialized repairs
When you need a specialized contractor, send them a magic link. They see the work order details, upload photos and invoices, and mark work complete — no account or app needed.
