Smartenance allows users to schedule, monitor and evaluate system maintenance, making it easier, quicker and more reliable. Reciprocal checking by system operators and production managers provides greater reliability. It is claimed to eliminate many processes as well as the need for coordination.
After downloading the app from Apple or Google stores, users purchase a licence for Smartenance in Festo’s App World. They can then transfer maintenance tasks and intervals from the documentation supplied by machine-builders. System operators can view and process any task, and production managers can see all completed and pending tasks at a glance.
Festo suggests that Smartenance will also be useful for machine-builders. The app will allow them to transform maintenance tasks into a digital versions and to offer extra value to their customers. The maintenance instructions can be enhanced using images, videos and PDFs. Maintenance tasks are visible immediately, and all relevant tasks are available to any team member at the press of a button.

Festo says that Smartenance is quick and easy to set up and will provide a simple, low-cost introduction to the world of digitalisation.
