HOW CAN CMMS SOFTWARE BENEFIT THE FOOD & DRINK
LET YOUR PEST BE OUR PROBLEM
MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY? Many food manufacturers have optimised their operations by investing in digital equipment. But this has increased the workload of maintenance teams, who are looking after more assets than ever before.
Thankfully, technology exists to help maintenance departments manage their ever-growing estate. Most food companies choose Computer Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) or computerised maintenance management system (CMMS) software to lighten the load.
How can CAFM/CMMS software improve food and drink manufacturing?
Put simply, well-maintained machinery works better and needs replacing less often, helping food and drink manufacturers to reduce equipment costs. However, there are further, more specific benefits that a combined CMMS/CAFM solution can deliver:
AWARD-WINNING PEST CONTROL SERVICES
Greater asset visibility: Maintenance teams manage a wide range of food manufacturing assets, from processing equipment to refrigeration systems.
BUILT ON REPUTATION:
FIRST-CLASS SERVICE VALUE FOR MONEY TRANSPARENT PRICING NO HIDDEN COSTS EXPERT ADVICE
Storing the data for these assets in a central CAFM/CMMS system enables staff to view critical information in one place. This way, they know when assets were last serviced and planned maintenance work is due.
More productive staff: With a clearly defined workload, maintenance teams can get on with their task list as soon as they clock in. Even better, if their CMMS software has an app, they can refer to schedules and access digital checklists and technical documents on the move.

Less unplanned downtime: Machinery breakdowns are disruptive to all companies, but they can be especially harmful to food and drink manufacturers. If critical machinery goes down for too long, ingredients will spoil.
CMMS/CAFM software helps to prevent unplanned downtime by ensuring assets are serviced on
maximum eco
a regular schedule. It can also help food companies transition from a reactive to a preventative maintenance model. Maintenance leaders can use their CMMS to prioritise repairs if equipment breaks or fails, minimising downtime.
Strict health and safety standards: Food and drink manufacturers are subject to stringent regulations, which maintenance work must meet.
CAFM/CMMS software can store digital checklists to ensure protocol is followed before, during, and after servicing and repair work. Managing tasks digitally also provides a clear data trail for inspections and audits.
Accurate cost tracking: Many CMMS/ CAFM systems help maintenance departments manage expenditure by preventing overspending on spare parts. They can also provide valuable information on the total cost of ownership (TCO), assisting teams with deciding when to repair equipment versus when to replace it.
Longer asset lifespans: A consistent maintenance programme is essential for ensuring equipment is in good working order most of the
