The wireless world offers many cost saving opportunities in time and materials and provides your workforce the opportunity to be more flexible. Most Maintenance & Reliability programs are computerized, yet many organizations still plan and schedule digitally only to print out the work for the technicians. That printed work is then required to be filled out, turned in, and then entered into the CMMS and Reliability Management System. What is being lost in time and materials and what could you do with those resources if freed up?

Ivara Mobile is a handheld wireless device that enables an organization to more efficiently deploy its resources and make the full transition into a digital M&R program. Instead of printing out work orders or inspection routes, Technicians are assigned to an Ivara handheld device. You can use Ivara Mobile to collect indicator readings and then upload the data into Ivara which is then synchronized with your CMMS system. Imagine the time savings by directly collecting information and eliminating the interpretation and entering of data from a printout into your CMMS and Reliability Management System.
