Flexible recurrence
Set daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual intervals in your workspace time zone. Use the forecast to check upcoming dates, including shorter months.
Preventive maintenance software
Plan preventive maintenance before work becomes overdue.
Build recurring PM schedules, connect assets and procedures, forecast upcoming maintenance, and generate complete work orders when service is due.
- Recurring schedules
- PM calendar
- Asset-linked procedures
Planned maintenance
Turn recurring maintenance requirements into reliable work.
Preventive maintenance succeeds when schedules are easy to understand, due work is generated consistently, and technicians receive the equipment context and procedures required to perform it correctly.
CMMSAI keeps recurrence, next-due dates, locations, assets, assignments, priorities, estimated effort, and checklist templates together. When an authorized user runs due PM generation, those relationships carry into the generated work order.
PM program essentials
Structure the schedule without losing field context.
Assets and procedures
Link the equipment covered by the schedule and attach checklist steps so generated work arrives with its intended scope.
Forecast and history
Review upcoming PM activity in a calendar, retain generation history, and connect each run to the resulting work order.
Inside the PM schedule
Define recurrence once and carry the context forward.
Schedule settings, next-due timing, work-order defaults, task descriptions, and linked assets remain together. Review the forecast, then run due PM generation to create eligible work orders.
Preventive workflow
From maintenance strategy to completed PM.
Define the maintenance need
Create the schedule with recurrence, location, work type, priority, estimated hours, and next due date.
Attach the right context
Select the covered assets, assignment, notes, and checklist template that technicians will need.
Run due PM generation
Review due schedules, then explicitly generate work orders with duplicate protection, copied asset links, procedures, and a traceable PM run record.
Review performance
Use the calendar, run history, work order completion, and reporting to understand schedule execution and overdue risk.
Preventive maintenance questions
Common PM planning considerations.
Can a PM schedule cover multiple assets?
Yes. A schedule can link multiple assets, and those links are copied to the generated work order so the execution record reflects the intended equipment scope.
How does CMMSAI prevent duplicate PM work?
Run history and due-date safeguards prevent repeated work-order generation for the same scheduled occurrence.
Can a PM include a checklist?
Yes. Checklist templates can be linked to a schedule and copied into each generated work order for technician completion and closeout review.
Can planners preview future PM dates?
Yes. Each schedule includes a 12-month forecast that updates as you edit, and the PM calendar brings upcoming preventive work together for broader planning.
Can a PM schedule be paused?
Yes. A paused schedule remains available for review but does not generate Work Orders until it is active again.
