Calendar · Runtime · Condition-based PM
Preventive maintenance by calendar, runtime and condition.
Schedule PMs, generate work orders and record signed completion.
Multi-Trigger PM Plans
Trigger on calendar interval, runtime hours, cycles, units produced or a condition threshold — whichever comes first.
Work orders that assemble themselves
The PM template, task list, estimated duration, SOP revision, required parts and lock-out tags are attached automatically at trigger.
Scheduled into real downtime windows
V5 places the PM against the production schedule so it lands in an idle window instead of stopping a running line.
What goes wrong today3 common problems
PM schedules drift from real usage
An asset that ran double shifts for a month is on the same annual schedule as one that sat idle.
PMs Get Deferred Invisibly
Without a register and escalation, a skipped PM only surfaces when the asset fails mid-batch.
Completion evidence is thin
A ticked box is not proof. Inspectors want the SOP revision, the technician, the parts and the verification result.

Deferral with a Reason and an Owner
Deferrals are recorded, escalated and reported — never silent.

Common questions5 answers
- What is preventive maintenance software?
- It plans and records maintenance carried out before failure. Plans define what is done, how often it is triggered, which parts are needed and what evidence must be captured when the work is signed off.
- Can PMs trigger on runtime rather than the calendar?
- Yes. V5 accumulates runtime hours, cycles and units produced per asset and triggers when any configured threshold is reached, alongside or instead of a calendar interval.
- What happens if the required spare is out of stock?
- The work order is raised with the shortage flagged, a purchase request can be issued, and the scheduler holds the PM until the part arrives rather than sending a technician to a dead end.
- How are missed PMs handled?
- Overdue PMs escalate by role and appear on the maintenance register. Depending on configuration the asset can be blocked from production until the PM closes.
- Does PM completion support Part 11?
- Completion records carry an attributable electronic signature, time stamp, SOP revision and tamper-evident audit trail. Your team validates V5 for its intended use and determines compliance.
