MaintSmart CMMS Version 2.3 Has Been Released

MaintSmart CMMS Version 2.3 Has Been Released. MaintSmart 4.0 Enterprise is a SQL Server 2000 version and is scheduled for release in late January 2004.

(PRWEB) December 13, 2003 --MaintSmart version 2.3 (maintenance management software) has been released. MaintSmart is noted as being the only CMMS available that uses reliability analysis to guide the user towards optimized preventive maintenance task lists. Adjusting PM task lists based upon MTBF (average time between failures) for particular failure causes is a two mouse-click process that takes seconds and provides results based upon real data. Additionally MaintSmart uses military standard reliability analysis methods (AMSAA) to help the user determine if their maintenance efforts are improving reliability and guide the user towards continuous improvement.

MaintSmart provides a simple yet very powerful interface for work orders, purchasing, inventory, skills, failure data collection and much more. MaintSmart handles PMs as a separate function or as a work order, per se. MaintSmart analyzes work orders, PMs, equipment failure, skills, inventory, parts usage and purchasing then reports in three different ways: Excel, Crystal Reports 8.5 or data grid printing. Data grids may be saved in Excel, HTML (web Page) or as simple text.

Another distinctive MaintSmart feature is the way MaintSmart implements meters. Meters may contain up to six different measurements each (for example: change oil every 6 months or 6000 miles would be two measurements) and may be updated manually or linked to DDE or OPC compliant server software. This feature enables the system to automatically create work orders based upon running conditions within an equipment item (reads PLC address data). Meters could also be linked to MaintSmart from an Excel spreadsheet if needed.

This version upgrade focuses on increased flexibility. By providing four equipment hierarchies and an equipment tree view MaintSmart makes it simple to locate, report on and correct problems. Equipment name, task and failure cause description fields have been lengthened to 255 characters each. Details may be added to task records up to 2 GB per record if needed.

MaintSmart CMMS is widely used both in the USA and internationally as a network Windows application. MaintSmart is currently benefiting manufacturing plants, oil fields, electrical utilities, public works, United States military, major universities,the hospitality industry and is appropriate just about anywhere equipment is maintained.

No other programs are needed to run MaintSmart, as it is fully self-contained. There are no extra modules to buy or subscriptions to pay for. Unlimited email support for life is free with extended support available. MaintSmart 2.3 is Windows application that uses an Access database backend. Access is not required nor does MaintSmart conflict with any dissimilar version of Access. MaintSmart 4.0 Enterprise is a SQL Server 2000 version and is scheduled for release in late January 2004.
