Empowering Workshop Efficiency: Real-Time Work Order Data
Conventionally, technicians log into their CMMS to retrieve work order information, which could be time-consuming and hinder workflow efficiency. Especially if desktops are in limited supply. This fragmented process not only consumed valuable time but also led to potential errors and inefficiencies.
A Simple Workscreen
By leveraging Openshift source-to-image (s2i) builds and the Maximo REST API we can deploy and scale a simple workscreen at the drop of a (red)hat. Providing a user-friendly interface that displays real-time Maximo work order data in an intuitive manner. With a glance at the screen, employees can effortlessly view critical details such as work order status, priorities, unassigned work, and upcoming tasks.
Rapid Deployment
Openshift s2i allows for rapid development and deployment via Github webhooks.
Endlessly Configurable
The extensive Maximo REST API allows the workscreen to display any data relevant to each clients use case.
High Availability & Dynamic Scaling
Openshifts Kubernetes base ensures the workscreen deployment is highly available and scales with ease.
Enhancing Decision-Making
By displaying real-time data, employees can make informed decisions promptly. Whether it's prioritizing urgent work orders or allocating resources efficiently, having access to up-to-date information is a game-changer. Instead of relying on outdated reports or manually tracking work orders, employees can leverage the workscreens live updates to stay abreast of the evolving demands. This improves response times, reduces bottlenecks, and ensures tasks are completed in a timely manner.
Improved Collaboration and Communication
With a shared visual interface, team members can quickly identify work order dependencies, track progress, and coordinate efforts more effectively. For instance, if a particular task requires specialized skills, employees can easily identify the right colleague for the job, reducing unnecessary delays and streamlining workflows. The workscreen acts as a central hub that fosters teamwork and ensures everyone is on the same page.
Optimized Resource Allocation
Efficient resource management is a key driver of workshop productivity. The workscreen equips employees with valuable insights into resource availability and allocation. Workshop employees can make informed decisions regarding the utilization of tools, machinery, and personnel. They can proactively plan and schedule work orders based on the available resources, thereby minimizing downtime and optimizing productivity.
