Digital Maintenance Management by App

Smartenance is the first exclusively digital product from Festo. It is available for download as a mobile app for smartphones and tablets in the Apple and Google app stores. The dashboard for production managers is conveniently available in the web browser. Smartenance enables end customers to schedule, monitor and evaluate system maintenance. A digital maintenance schedule makes maintenance easier, quicker and more reliable. Reciprocal checking by system operators and production managers provides greater reliability. It eliminates many processes and the need for coordination.

Advantages for system operators and production managers

Smartenance is cloud-based and not specific to any manufacturer. The application is self-explanatory and therefore quick and easy to set up. It provides a simple, low-cost introduction to the world of digitalisation. Festo Smartenance consists of two parts: a mobile maintenance schedule in the form of an app for smartphones and tablets, and a dashboard in the form of a web page for production managers, where they can manage and document maintenance tasks. The dashboard can simply be opened in a web browser.

After downloading from the Apple or Google app stores, users purchase a licence for Smartenance in the Festo App World. With a valid licence, users can autonomously transfer the maintenance tasks and intervals found in the system documentation that they have received from the machine builder. The system is then immediately ready for use and every system operator can view and process all tasks. Production managers automatically see all completed and pending tasks at a single glance.

Smartenance is also useful for machine builders. The app allows them to transform the maintenance tasks for every system directly into a digital solution and offer their customers added value for the system. Maintenance instructions can even be digitally enhanced with images, videos and PDFs. This makes it much easier for team members to work together. Smartenance makes the maintenance task immediately visible for the user, and all the advantages of digital maintenance management can be used as all relevant tasks are available at the press of a button.
