ATS Introduces New Work Order Integration for Enhanced Machinery Maintenance
Advanced Technology Services, Inc. (ATS) has recently announced an innovative feature aimed at transforming the way manufacturers manage machinery health. The new work order integration is designed for its Reliability 360® (R360®) Machine Health Monitoring service, enabling a seamless connection between ATS's platform and any Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) used by manufacturers. This state-of-the-art integration allows the R360® platform to send prescriptive actions directly to the CMMS, thus facilitating the generation of work orders without delay.
With this new functionality, ATS customers can expect to witness a remarkable streamlining of maintenance workflows. By optimizing alert management and enhancing operational efficiency, the integration maintains vital human oversight to ensure appropriate actions are taken at the right moments. In the words of Micah Statler, ATS's Director of Industrial Technologies, "This integration is a game-changer for manufacturers looking to bridge the gap between predictive insights and actionable maintenance."
Understanding the Integration Process
The Reliability 360® Machine Health Monitoring is cloud-based and continuously monitors vital machine conditions such as vibration, temperature, current, and pressure. By utilizing integrated AI, ATS draws from decades of industrial experience to both assess and address potential malfunctions. This proactive approach helps filter out irrelevant data, allowing for the prioritization of the most critical maintenance actions before they disrupt operational efficiency.
This level of integration results in several key improvements:
- - Streamlined Workflows: The automated work order generation accelerates response times, significantly reducing the reliance on manual processes.
- - Optimized Alert Management: Guidance to maintenance teams is prioritized based on insights, ensuring that critical issues receive immediate attention without unnecessary delays.
- - Operational Efficiency: By consolidating essential insights, ATS improves decision-making processes and mitigates unplanned downtime from maintenance delays.
- - Quality Assurance: Each system notification undergoes an evaluation by ATS's certified monitoring experts, ensuring that the recommendations made are optimized for precision and actionability.
The Importance of Human Expertise
What sets ATS's Reliability 360® apart is the fusion of AI with human expertise—a combination proving to be indispensable in the manufacturing sector. The integrated approach has already yielded substantial results for numerous industry leaders. For example, one ATS partner realized over $7 million in cost savings and avoided more than 240 hours of downtime through preemptive repairs during scheduled downtime events.
Statler emphasizes the crucial link between data and action: "Predictive maintenance is only valuable if it leads to action. With automated work orders, our customers can move from data collection to proactive maintenance seamlessly."
