AIMS.NET Optional Components

AIMS Optional Components are designed to optimize every aspect of equipment maintenance. Select from options to help reduce labor costs and heighten labor efficiencies, simplify administrative activities or move maintenance activities toward a paperless system.

EasyNet™ Request

EasyNet™ Request links you to AIMS over your intranet. You can create work orders or check the status of open work orders with the convenience of standard Internet browsers.

EasyNet Request provides the opportunity for many user defined settings, i ncluding a user designed work order screen for work requests from customers.

The design screen allows users to "grab" fields using the mouse, and drag them into an arrangement that fits your facility's needs, or to drag them off the screen so they are not visible to users.

Easy Net Plus

EasyNet Plus includes all the features and functions of EasyNet Request, with the added ability to assign Security levels and view equipment information and trends directly from the EasyNet Plus screens.

ePartsFinder Integration

Order parts from PartsSource directly from inside AIMS. With ePartsFinder Integration, users have the opportunity to create new orders and to review and maintain current orders. Parts ordered will automatically be associated with the applicable AIMS work order.

AIMS.PDA

AIMS.PDA puts work orders in the palm of your hand. Using PDA technology, users can view workloads, open and close work orders, add equipment and perform a physical inventory. AIMS.NET supports Palm OS and Windows CE (Pocket PC).

Inspection Template

Inspection Templates are used to track equipment inspection results of specific tasks on work orders, rank the condition of individual tasks, and provide the opportunity for managers to track "trends" of the numbers. Inspection Templates provides the opportunity to enter readings, values and Pass/Fail responses.

Morning News™

Morning News™ runs your Report Macro reports at preset times, then sends them to a designated printer or emails them.

Resource Manager

Resource Manager automates the assignment of personnel to work orders based on combinations of equipment type and/or area or an individual piece of equipment. With Resource Manager you can globally reassign work when an employee changes responsibilities, is reclassified or leaves the department.

Mobile Messaging (auto paging) sends work orders electronically – right from inside AIMS to pagers.

Performance & Quality

Performance & Quality lets you identify and monitor trends on relevant issues. You can analyze work requests by such things as PM completion percentages, response actions and failure codes, corrective work order response times, repeat repair occurrences and the frequency of no-problem found or operator error.

Parts Inventory

Parts Inventory tracks in-house parts with purchase order number, part number, description, cost, in-stock and on-order. Parts Inventory tracks parts receipts, adjustments and inventory relief against specific work orders to achieve costing.

Contracts Management

Contracts Management handles all aspects of service contracts, including tracking vendor service and performance, with numerous contract cost-to-value analyses.

Purchasing

Purchasing automates parts and labor procurement. Purchasing tracks the complete purchasing cycle - from requests to back orders and shows vendor purchase histories. Purchasing can be separate or integrated with Parts Inventory.

Advanced PM Scheduling

Statistical PM Scheduling provides the opportunity for users to generate PMs for a specified percentage of Tags based on Equipment Type, each time PMs are generated. The individual Tags are chosen at random and are not chosen again until all Tags have been inspected.

Archive

Archive keeps current work orders and equipment records separated from out-dated information. Archive moves user-selected periods of work order records, obsolete equipment and codes out of the current records, but keeps the data in the database for quick viewing and printing.

Dispatch Center

Dispatch Center provides fast, efficient processing of phoned-in maintenance requests or automatically handles work requests submitted via EasyNet Request (Internet).

High-speed processing of phoned-in requests uses smartfill and preset data to create a work order in seconds.

Work orders are automatically assigned to a technician, or the best five technician opportunities are presented to the dispatcher for manual assignment. Work orders are then automatically paged and logged for time management and escalation purposes.

Work order response by the technician via telephone or Internet is required to confirm receipt of the page and completion of the work. Escalation policies are automatic and reassignment and notification of the supervisor are all user-defined.

Equipment Tester Interface

Equipment Tester Interface (ETI) transfers PM Procedures and Tasks to the medTester 5000C. After testing is completed, user selected results are transferred from the medTester to the AIMS database.

ETI handles work orders for equipment that have inspections due, creates a quick open/close work order for unscheduled tests that passed and reports on all equipment that failed inspection.

Equipment interfaced includes: Defibrillator, Infusion Pump Analyzer (Infutest 2000 series), Electrical Surgical Unit, Non-Invasive Blood Pressure and SP02 Analyzer (Oxitest Plus).

ECRI Institute Interfaces

AIMS.NET interfaces with ECRI Institute's Sourcebase, UMDNS and Alerts Tracker. The interface provides users the opportunity to download the latest Sourcebase and UMDNS Codes so your lists are always up to date.
