Unexpected breakdowns stop work and drive up costs. A preventive maintenance CMMS gives your team a clear plan so equipment stays online and tasks get done on time.
Preventive Maintenance CMMS
“Preventive” means doing small, scheduled jobs before things fail. Think lubrication, calibration, and checks you repeat on a set cadence. With a preventive maintenance CMMS, these tasks are easy to assign, track, and complete. When the plan is simple and visible, crews stay ahead of problems and outages drop.
What You Can Do in Antero
Antero helps operators manage day-to-day maintenance work without the chaos:
- Mobile work orders so techs can view, enter, and close tasks from any device.
- Equipment & asset tracking with history in one place.
- Preventive maintenance checklists and templates to extend equipment life and reduce downtime.
- Criticality and failure probability views to focus on the highest-risk assets.
- Work order management with assignments, color-coded status, and a calendar view for planning.
- Parts & ordering to track costs, usage, and location; create purchase orders; and auto-flag low stock.
- Reporting on labor, parts, and history to support compliance and better decisions.
Why It Matters
A preventive maintenance CMMS turns firefighting into routine work. Schedules prevent misses. History shows what worked last time. Priorities are clear, so your limited time goes to the assets that matter most. The result: fewer surprises, longer asset life, and steadier service.
How This Reduces Downtime
Plan recurring maintenance. Watch MTBF trends. Keep critical parts in stock. Use the calendar to balance workloads week to week. With these habits in place, outages become rare—and shorter when they do happen.
Predictive vs. Preventive (Quick Note)
Preventive is your routine schedule. Predictive uses external data (like sensors) to spot warning signs early. Many teams use both, but your preventive maintenance CMMS remains the system of record for work, assets, parts, and reporting.
