Module description

The PM maintenance module in Cadet ERP helps manage preventive, reactive, and predictive maintenance to keep production running reliably with minimal downtime. It works with real production data, enabling precise timing of interventions and alignment with line operations. Maintenance staff, planners, and operators work in a single environment with instant visibility into faults, ongoing interventions, and repair history. The result is more stable operations, shorter downtime, and better machine utilization in cable manufacturing.

Key features

Preventive Maintenance Based on Schedule, Counters, and Output Volume

Enables precise timing of interventions based on actual line utilization, reducing the risk of unplanned downtime.

Reactive Maintenance with Rapid Fault Reporting

The operator immediately reports a fault, maintenance receives an alert, and can begin the intervention without delay.

Predictive Maintenance When Operational Data Is Available

The system can work with measured values and detect emerging problems before they threaten production.

Grouping Tasks into a Single Intervention

Helps plan shutdowns so that production is not repeatedly interrupted.

Mobile Maintenance Work

After scanning a line, the maintenance technician sees the required tasks, completes documentation, and records time and consumed parts.

Automatic Spare Parts Management (MRP)

The module creates material requirements based on actual consumption and planned tasks, ensuring parts availability.

Integration with Production and Planning

The planner has a real-time overview of equipment status and can propose postponing a scheduled maintenance task without additional communication.

Overviews and operational information

  • Real-time status of lines and equipment.
  • Preventive maintenance schedule with upcoming dates.
  • History of faults and completed interventions.
  • Statistics on consumed spare parts.
  • Overview of maintenance capacity and workload.
  • Reports on machine reliability and maintenance efficiency.
  • This information facilitates decision-making, shutdown planning, and long-term process improvement.

Cable manufacturing challenges this module solves

Without integrated maintenance management, it is difficult to accurately track actual line loads, coordinate interventions, and prevent breakdowns. Information tends to be scattered across various spreadsheets and tools, leading to delays, recurring faults, and uncertainty around planning.

Generic ERP systems cannot work with the technical logic of cable manufacturing -- they do not leverage production run sequences, counters, or the specifics of winding and unwinding processes. They cannot link maintenance to actual line operations and production schedules. The Cadet ERP module is built directly for the needs of the cable manufacturing industry, providing accurate and actionable information for timely interventions.

Module advantages

  • More stable line operations and lower risk of breakdowns.
  • Better maintenance timing through working with real production data.
  • Faster response to faults through direct reporting.
  • Shorter downtime through grouping tasks into single interventions.
  • Spare parts available at the right time.
  • Clear traceability of completed tasks and reliable documentation.
  • Easy coordination between production, maintenance, and planners.

FAQs

How does the system determine the right time for preventive maintenance?

Based on schedule, counters, or actual output volume. It uses production data, so it knows how heavily the line has been loaded.

How does an operator report a fault?

Directly in Cadet ERP Cockpit, where they have access to current issues and repair history.

Can maintenance work solely through the mobile app?

Yes, the mobile app provides all necessary information as well as the ability to record tasks and documentation.

Does the system support predictive maintenance?

Yes, when equipment data is available, it can monitor trend values and alert to risks in time.

How does the module handle spare parts?

MRP logic tracks consumption and planned interventions and suggests inventory replenishment.

Can the planner see ongoing maintenance in real time?

Yes, they have access to line status and information about ongoing interventions and can adjust the schedule accordingly.

Is it possible to combine multiple maintenance tasks into a single shutdown?

Yes, the module supports this and helps reduce the time equipment is out of service.

Does the module allow evaluation of maintenance performance?

Yes, reports include intervention history, logged hours, and machine reliability statistics.

How quickly does maintenance learn about a new fault?

Immediately -- the system sends a notification as soon as the request is reported.

Can the complete repair history be traced?

Yes, all interventions are recorded including documentation, time, and parts used.
