Why Manufacturing Industry requires asset management software?  

Manufacturing Industry requires asset management software for several reasons:  

‍

Eliminates manual process

Many manufacturing-based organizations are not equipped with any automated application. As a result, they suffer from several issues such as data inaccuracy and no proper tracking of assets. For data tracking, an organization uses spreadsheets, but spreadsheets must not be used for keeping track of assets. The spreadsheet is not accurate because lots of employees access it, and errors can occur due to manual data entry. This can create problems in the whole procedure.  

However, our asset management software eliminates manual processes, and spreadsheets are not utilized as well. It automates the process, and every asset is tagged which helps in keeping track of assets.  

Asset maintenance

Manufacturing organizations have lots of assets and they are complex in nature, that’s why they must be inspected, and maintenance must be scheduled at regular intervals. However, that does not happen so unexpected equipment breakdowns are frequent.  

With asset management software you can schedule asset maintenance for every asset individually. This software also provides alerts for upcoming maintenance so that the maintenance team can prepare accordingly. After the implementation of this software, you will notice that the unexpected equipment breakdown has decreased, and overall maintenance expenses decreased as well.  

Asset performance issue

When assets are not properly maintained or not provided maintenance on time then as it starts performance asset performance starts decreasing and the machine's productive life ends before its actual time, therefore, it is important to keep track of performance.  

For that purpose, you can raise a ticket with this software. You can raise the ticket and track the status of every ticket. Moreover, you can prioritize tickets and complaints. Whenever any ticket is raised the help desk management is notified and the manager assigns the ticket to the available technician.

For example, it is important that you maintain a complete asset list and that all the papers and documents related to every asset are there. If during an audit it is found that the organization's assets do not match the asset numbers list, they provided, then they might end up paying huge penalties. Similarly, for manufacturing organizations, it is important that all safety measures are followed for employees. If an organization does not follow compliance, then the organization might end up paying huge penalties.
