AIMS.NET
System
Components
With over twenty years of user input, AIMS.NET is very rich in features
and functions. Following are just a few of the unique items designed to make
your job as a manager or technician easier and more efficient. All features
and functions are included in their respective component at no charge.
Equipment Information provides you with relevant information to manage
equipment maintenance. Examples are: equipment history, risk/inclusion, warranty
information, manufacturer and model specific details, life cycle costing,
contract detail, and pre-assigned maintenance personnel.
Risk/Inclusion
Factor
Through
AIMS Risk/Inclusion Factor you can establish a risk-based prioritization system.
These factors become the basis to determine which equipment should
be included in your equipment management program and when to schedule periodic
PM inspections.
· Medical Equipment factors
· Utilities Management factors
· Life Safety assignment
Equipment Duplication
Duplication
speeds data entry when adding new equipment.
Equipment information and PMs are duplicated
in one step. Specific data, as in serial
number, cost center and PM scheduled date can be easily changed.
Life-Cycle Costing
Each
piece of equipment can be classified by asset category and assigned an estimated
useful life and depreciated life.
Information Services
Easily
manage IS related information and IS devices associated with an equipment
Tag. Enter an equipment Tag and add IS related information. Then, add IS devices
that are associated with the Tag and relevant device information.
Data Expansion
The
equipment Data Expansion lets you define up to twenty-three fields to meet
your specific data needs.
Troubleshooting
Guide
This guide is a place for you and your staff to enter unique repair information and technical knowledge about types of equipment.
Global Change
Global
Change lets you change whole groups of information at once. This is very effective
when changing information like PM schedules, cost centers, equipment location,
equipment risk and tag numbers.
Additional Features
Preventive Maintenance
Scheduling
Preventive Maintenance
(PMs) can be scheduled by individual equipment or
globally by equipment type. PMs can be based on defined periods or consumed hours (metered),
turned on/off seasonally, or have floating or fixed due dates.
Also, required parts and materials can be listed on the PM.
Fixed & Floating PMs
You
can schedule PMs on a fixed or floating cycle.
Manufacturer/Model
Specific PMs
You
can set default PM procedures for manufacturer/ model combinations.
Managing PM Schedules
You
can set scheduled PMs to be bypassed during the
off-season (e.g., for air conditioners or sprinkler systems).
You
can set a grace period (e.g., end-of-the-month) from the scheduled due date
before a PM is “past due.”
Work
Orders
Work Orders
track all work requests from PM to repairs.
There are many reports showing open work orders, delinquent work orders
– by area, individually or other perspectives.
Quick Open/Close
Quick
Open/Close shortcuts the process when service has already been performed.
Work Order Notes
Make
individual notations about the service performed on a piece of equipment.
Batch Open Work
Orders
Batch Close Work
Orders
The system has the ability to close multiple
work orders in one quick process with all appropriate time applied.
Audit Trails
The work order audit trail is user defined
to track only those fields required by the customer. The audit trail can be
set up to track information added, changed or deleted. Audit Trail results
are viewed using Work Order Tools.
Additional Features
Administration
The Administration Control
provides the opportunity to enter facility specific information, assign warehouses
and set up required data entry fields to ensure data completeness.
Security
Security
allows you to create a simple or complex Security System. Access can be controlled
by facility, component, file, toolbar function, and even some data fields
– with a configuration set to each user logon.
Data
Managers
Data Managers are "internal managers" that ensure
all data entry is standardized to your specifications. This creates the data
integrity essential to obtaining complete and credible reporting.
Additional Features
Labor
Productivity
Labor Productivity analyzes work order and non-work
order activities providing efficiencies and productivity per employees.
Reports include employee productive and non-productive time, work accountability
and efficiency, estimated vs. actual hours, and forcasts of PM workloads.
Customer
Service
Customer Service provides the option to automatically send email confirmations
of work requests and completions to the individual entered as the Requester
on Work Orders. Included also is a link to a Customer Service Survey that
is connected to your AIMS system.
