Ways to improve Mean Time Between Repairs (MTBR) – 

Reasons why Mean Time between Repairs can be reduced using CMMS software in pump monitoring.

Motor pump performance tracking and proactive maintenance.

Identify underutilised equipment: Our Bluetooth RTLS software can be used for pump monitoring and pump motor performance tracking, allowing you to identify equipment that might be underutilised and potentially nearing failure due to a lack of regular wear and tear. This enables you to schedule preventive maintenance based on actual usage rather than a fixed schedule, potentially preventing unexpected machine breakdown scenarios.

Optimize maintenance routes: Bluetooth RTLS solutions can help optimise technician routes by pinging the closest available technician using a Bluetooth beacon panic button to a required maintenance location. This saves time and ensures faster response times to potential issues, contributing to reduced MTBR.

Improved Inventory Management:

Locate critical spare parts quickly: During repairs, locating necessary spare parts is crucial. RTLS software can track and pinpoint the location of spare parts inventory in real-time, ensuring technicians can access them quickly, minimising downtime due to waiting for parts.

Reduce the risk of losing or misplacing assets: Losing or misplacing equipment can significantly delay repairs. RipplesIPS with E-paper provides real-time location tracking, minimising the risk of lost or misplaced equipment and ensuring its availability when needed.

Enhanced Environmental Monitoring:

Monitor environmental factors: Certain environments can contribute to equipment failure. RTLS solutions can be integrated with sensors to monitor factors like temperature, humidity, or vibration, allowing you to identify potential environmental issues before they cause damage and lead to breakdowns.

Root Cause Analysis for Mean Time Between Repairs

Track equipment movement history: By tracking the location history of equipment leading up to a failure, RipplesCMMS can help identify potential causes. Bluetooth RTLS devices, sending data on pump monitoring, can be used for root cause analysis, allowing you to address the underlying issue and prevent future breakdowns of similar equipment.

Improved Training and Procedures

Identify common failure locations: By analysing asset tracking RTLS and MTBF data, you can identify areas where failures frequently occur. This information can be used to refine training procedures and develop specific protocols for those areas, potentially reducing the likelihood of future failures.

Enhanced Worker Safety:

Minimise technician exposure to hazards: Bluetooth RTLS can be used to track technicians’ movements and alert them of potential hazards in specific areas, particularly during maintenance procedures. This helps ensure worker safety and prevents delays due to injuries by using the wearable Bluetooth beacons.

By implementing these strategies, asset tracking RTLS software can become a valuable tool in your arsenal for improving MTBR in an Industry 4.0 framework, Telecom tower infrastructure, etc, leading to increased equipment uptime, reduced downtime costs, and improved overall operational efficiency.
