Preventive Maintenance (PM)
Schedule regular maintenance to prevent breakdowns. View PMs on a calendar, drag to reschedule, and get reminders before PM is due.
What is Preventive Maintenance?
Instead of waiting for things to break, you maintain them on a schedule.
Examples:
- Lubricate chains every 7 days
- Replace filters every 30 days
- Inspect belts every 14 days
Setting Up PM
- Go to Equipment
- Click on an equipment item
- Find the PM Schedule section
- Set:
- Interval: Every X days
- Last Done: When PM was last performed
How It Works
PM interval set to 30 days ↓ Day 25: Warning appears ↓ Day 30: PM is "Due" ↓ Day 35: PM is "Overdue" (red alert) ↓ You complete PM ↓ Timer resets
PM Reminders
The system warns you:
- 5 days before: Yellow warning
- On the day: Due now
- Past due: Red alert
The AI Coach also mentions overdue PM in your daily briefing.
PM Calendar (Desktop)
On desktop, the Equipment page shows a PM Calendar: a monthly view where each PM appears on its due date.
- Navigate months with the left/right arrows
- Click "Today" to jump back to the current month
- Overdue PMs appear in red on past dates
- Click any PM card to see full details (coverage, frequency, due date, last completed)
- Drag and drop a PM card to a different day to reschedule it (managers only)
Zone PMs cannot be rescheduled by drag-and-drop.
PM Dashboard (Mobile)
On mobile, PMs display in a collapsible dashboard grouped by:
- Overdue: with a "Do Now" button to create a work order immediately
- Due This Week: with a "Schedule" button
- Upcoming: next 30 days
Tap the header to expand or collapse the dashboard.
Completing PM
- Do the maintenance work
- Go to Equipment
- Click Mark PM Complete
- The timer resets
