Autonomous maintenance is a groundbreaking approach that empowers machine operators to perform basic maintenance without excessive reliance on maintenance technicians. By equipping operators with essential knowledge, confidence, and skills, facilities can run smoothly without frequent intervention.
Autonomous maintenance is transforming industries such as manufacturing, mining, and healthcare. By adopting this approach, companies can significantly reduce maintenance costs and improve asset availability.
Operators should be thoroughly trained to understand their machines. They need to recognize equipment defects, troubleshoot issues, and conduct simple maintenance tasks.
Encourage operators to perform routine and preventive maintenance. This involves checking for leaks, loose parts, defects, contamination, or unusual vibrations.
Operators must regularly inspect equipment performance. Utilizing a CMMS can streamline this process by tracking asset performance and ensuring alignment with production goals.
