Each maintenance plan of the preventive maintenance has a scheduling configuration. The scheduling can be defined using:
  • Recurrence;
  • Meter;
  • Recurrence and Meter

Recurrence

The scheduling by each plan's recurrence supports three configuration types: daily, weekly and monthly. It is possible to set:
  • Daily Frequency: at what time should the preventive maintenance take place;
  • Frequency: allows for setting the preventive maintenance to occur every x days, weeks or months. In the case of the weekly and monthly recurrences, it is possible to perform some additional configurations.
  • Weekly: allows for setting one or more week days in which the maintenance should take place;;
  • Monthly: allows for setting a day of the month or a rule for the day when the preventive maintenance should take place. The recalculation always takes 30 days into account.
  • Recurrence Range: sets the recurrence start and end dates;
Examples

1.Simple daily maintenance:

  1. Preventive Maintenance created on 10/03/2020
  2. projection end date on 31/03/2020
  3. maintenance plan with a recurrence starting on 10/03/2020
  4. daily frequency at 9 a.m.
Event Expected Date
1 10/3/2020
2 11/3/2020
... ...
21 20/3/2020
22 21/03/2020

2. Simple weekly maintenance

  • Preventive Maintenance created on 10/03/2020
  • projection end date on 31/03/2020
  • maintenance plan with a recurrence starting on 10/03/2020
  • weekly recurrence on Tuesdays and Thursdays and daily frequency at 9 a.m.
Event Expected Date
1 11/3/2020
2 13/3/2020
... ...
5 25/3/2020
6 27/03/2020

3. Simple monthly maintenance

  • Preventive Maintenance created on 10/03/2020
  • projection end date on 31/12/2020,
  • maintenance plan with a recurrence starting on 10/03/2020,
  • monthly frequency on the 15th and daily frequency at 9 a.m.
Event Expected Date
1 15/3/2020
2 15/4/2020
... ...
9 15/11/2020
10 15/12/2020

Meter

On the preventive maintenances for equipment, tools and locations it is possible to define the plan scheduling by meter.
The meter to be selected can be associated to the preventive maintenance element or can be a meter associated indirectly to the element, that is, a meter for the family, brand, model or location function of the element.
For that, an equipment, tool or location meter is selected, and a meter value interval is set at the end of which the preventive maintenance must be performed.

Meter events can be generated based on the average and the expected date, or based solely on the meter value.

To set a preventive based solely on the meter reading, in the Scheduled Work tab, the Use Average field must be set to false (unchecked). If it is set to true (checked), the average will be used.

If the average is not used for recalculation, events are not predicted based on the date and are not displayed in the planner feature. In this case, only the value of the next event is displayed.

In this scenario, the defined schedule does not affect the recalculation of the preventive. The recalculation is only affected by the meter value.

Recalculation based on the meter value cannot be used together with time recurrence.

At most, only one event is generated per day, even if the defined interval is less than the current meter average.

Examples

1. Maintenance by meter

  • Preventive Maintenance created on 07/08/2020
  • projection end date on 30/09/2020,
  • maintenance plan with a meter whose value interval is 500.
  • The meter currently has a daily average of 50.
Event Expected Date Value
1 17/8/2020 500
2 27/8/2020 1000
3 06/09/2020 1500
4 16/09/2020 2000
5 26/09/2020 2500

2. Maintenance by meter with initial value

  • Preventive Maintenance created on 01/08/2020
  • projection end date on 30/09/2020,
  • maintenance plan with a meter,
  • interval of 500
  • initial value of 1200.
  • The meter currently has a daily average of 50 and value of 80
Event Expected Date
Value
1 18/8/2020
1700
2 28/9/2020
2200
3 07/09/2020
2700
4 17/09/2020
3200
5 27/09/2020
3700
Since maintenance begins in 1200, and the interval is 500, the first intervention occurs on the meter value of 1700. Since the meter has value 800, and considering the average, it will take 18 days to reach this value. From this occurrence on, maintenance is performed every 10 days.

3. Maintenance by meter using the meter value

  • Preventive Maintenance created on 07/08/2020;
  • Maintenance plan with meter, interval of 500, average usage field active.
Event Meter value
1
500
2
1000
3
1500
4
2000
5
2500

Recurrence and Meter

If the events are generated based on the meter, an event is created per day, at the most, even if the set interval is inferior to the current meter average.

Example: Monthly maintenance by meter:

  • Manutenção Preventiva criada em 10/08/2020
  • data de fim da projeção a 30/09/2020,
  • plano de manutenção com recorrência a Iniciar a 10/08/2020,
  • frequência mensal a dia 15 do mês ocorre ás 9h da manhã.
  • O mesmo plano tem um contador definido com intervalo de 500 e uma média diária de 50.
Event Expected Date Value
1 15/8/2020 09:00:00 ---
2 27/8/2020 500
3 04/09/2020 1000
4 14/09/2020 2500
5 24/09/2020 2000
