Reactive Maintenance Is Expensive
- 1Equipment runs to failure because PM is tracked in someone's head or a yellowing wall-mounted spreadsheet
- 2Meter-based maintenance (runtime hours, cycles) is impossible without a system that reads meters and triggers work orders
- 3Condition-based PM stays theoretical — nobody has time to correlate assessment scores against thresholds
- 4During building shutdowns and renovations, there's no clean way to pause and later resume PM schedules
- 5Nobody knows how many work orders a schedule has generated, or when the next one is due
Arkan Preventive Maintenance Capabilities
Nine Frequency Options
Daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual, or custom interval in days. Set lead days for advance work-order generation.
Multi-Trigger Support
Combine time-based (calendar), meter-based (equipment readings), and condition-based (assessment thresholds) triggers on a single schedule.
Template-Based Generation
Define work-order templates with pre-filled checklists, assignments, and estimated hours. Generated work orders inherit the template automatically.
Pause & Resume
Pause active PM schedules during shutdowns or renovations, then resume without losing schedule context or generation history.
Simple 4-Step Process
Choose a frequency (nine options) and a trigger type (time, meter, condition — or combined)
Define a work-order template with checklist, assignment, estimated hours, and parts
The PM Generator background processor creates a work order when the schedule is due (respecting lead days)
Track how many WOs each schedule has generated, when the last one ran, and when the next one is due
