Planned works in Industry refer to maintenance, repairs, upgrades and other activities that are intentionally scheduled and executed to ensure the proper functioning of industrial facilities, equipment and processes.
This planned work is essential to maintain operational efficiency, minimize unplanned downtime and optimize asset performance.
Preventive maintenance, for example, includes routine inspections, cleaning, calibration and replacement of parts or components to prevent equipment breakdowns and extend the useful life of machinery.
Corrective maintenance, on the other hand, involves planned repairs or replacements of equipment or components that have been identified as defective or in need of attention. The goal of corrective maintenance is to resolve identified problems before they lead to unplanned downtime or more significant problems.
Another type of planned work is scheduled shutdown, which allows for maintenance, repairs, upgrades or modifications that cannot be performed during normal production operations.
Digitization of planned jobs in the industrial sector
Digitization in the industrial sector can significantly improve the execution of planned jobs in production by streamlining processes, improving efficiency and providing valuable information for decision making.
Currently, there is technology that allows the digitization of different processes, reducing manual effort by operators and improving efficiency.
But not only this, thanks to data-driven planning, for example, it is possible to collect, analyze and use large amounts of data from various sources in the industrial environment. This allows data analytics and predictive modeling to be leveraged to enable planners to make more informed decisions, so that processes can be automated, allocating resources and ensuring streamlined and optimized planning workflows.
But there is much more, digitally planned jobs also enable real-time monitoring of industrial equipment and processes. Also collaboration and communication, where different digital tools and platforms facilitate seamless collaboration and communication between planners, technicians and other stakeholders involved in the planned jobs.
Finally, it should be noted that digitization provides mechanisms for tracking and analyzing key performance indicators (KPIs) related to planned works. Planners can monitor the progress, timelines and costs of planned activities, identifying areas for improvement and implementing continuous optimization strategies.
Cloud-based project management systems, digital work instructions and real-time communication tools enable effective coordination, ensuring that everyone has access to the latest information and updates.
