Maintenance managers know that the backbone of any maintenance program is a preventive maintenance plan. Generally, we assume that preventive maintenance is a good thing and it will prevent downtime.<\/p>\n

But there are certain circumstances where it’s more complicated.<\/p>\n

That’s what MPulse customer Angie discovered. As a team supervisor for a government agency, Angie re-examined her team\u2019s maintenance strategy after she reviewed her organization\u2019s CMMS data.<\/p>\n

Angie\u2019s department maintains radio equipment, which can be located in remote areas that are physically challenging to access. In Angie\u2019s case, mountainous terrain made it particularly difficult. Historically her radio technicians would schedule preventive maintenance twice a year (in spring and autumn) when the weather made access easier.<\/p>\n

After reviewing work order data and equipment readings in her MPulse Software, Inc, Angie wondered if it was more efficient to only do those tasks once a year by using remote site monitoring technology.<\/p>\n
