Logging Equipment Maintenance Software
Modern forest management is highly mechanized. Timber harvesters have traded in their axes and saws for technology-driven, multi-purpose equipment that works faster and is more productive. However, harsh conditions, rough terrain, and inclement weather put additional stress on machinery, increasing the risk of breakdowns. These factors make maintenance – and maintenance management – an essential function in forest management and lumber production.
FTMaintenance equipment maintenance software maximizes machine productivity by providing the tools required to manage maintenance on heavy equipment and other forestry assets. Create a comprehensive preventive maintenance plan for each asset that includes daily walk-arounds, inspections, and other routine maintenance. Track maintenance activities that originate from predictive maintenance (PdM) alarms or equipment telematics systems. Digitize maintenance documentation to provide technicians in the field with instant access to manufacturer-recommended troubleshooting steps.
