Maintenance Work Order Automation
AI-powered maintenance system managing preventive maintenance scheduling, repair requests, vendor coordination, and asset lifecycle tracking
Why This Matters
What It Is
AI-powered maintenance system managing preventive maintenance scheduling, repair requests, vendor coordination, and asset lifecycle tracking
Current State vs Future State Comparison
Current State
(Traditional)- Asset Identification: Facilities managers identify assets requiring maintenance.
- Preventive Maintenance Scheduling: Based on manufacturer guidelines and historical data, schedules for preventive maintenance are created.
- Work Order Creation: Maintenance requests are generated either manually or through a system when issues arise.
- Work Order Approval: Requests are reviewed and approved by management.
- Vendor Coordination: If external vendors are needed, procurement processes are initiated to select and coordinate with vendors.
- Task Assignment: Maintenance tasks are assigned to in-house technicians or external vendors.
- Execution: Technicians perform the maintenance or repairs as per the work order.
- Documentation: Completion of work is documented, including any parts used and time spent.
- Review and Feedback: Post-maintenance review is conducted to assess the quality of work and vendor performance.
- Asset Lifecycle Tracking: Data is updated in the system to reflect the current status of the asset and maintenance history.
Characteristics
- • CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System)
- • ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
- • Excel
- • Mobile Maintenance Apps
Pain Points
- ⚠ Manual data entry is time-consuming
- ⚠ Process is error-prone
- ⚠ Limited visibility into process status
- ⚠ Dependence on manual processes can delay response times.
- ⚠ Integration challenges between different systems (e.g., CMMS and ERP).
Future State
(Agentic)The orchestrator agent receives data from the Asset Monitoring Agent, which identifies assets needing maintenance. The Work Order Management Agent generates work orders and routes them for approval. Once approved, the Vendor Coordination Agent selects and coordinates with vendors if needed. The Documentation Agent logs all activities and updates asset records. Throughout the process, the orchestrator ensures smooth communication and data flow.
