--- title: "Manufacturing CMMS for plant maintenance teams | attendo" description: "Manufacturing CMMS with preventive, corrective and predictive work per asset, MTBF and MTTR, spare parts by warehouse and lot, quality issues and contractors." url: "https://attendo.me/en/industries/manufacturing" lang: "en" --- # Fewer hours of downtime, with every breakdown on record For manufacturing plants, food and beverage producers and industrial maintenance contractors. Preventive, corrective and predictive work on the same asset, the spare part located and the nonconformity closed with its verification. - MTBF, MTTR and availability per asset - Sensors and IoT with AI-based predictive maintenance - Spare parts by warehouse, lot and expiration date ## Is it right for your company? For anyone who maintains production lines, machines and plant facilities, with an in-house team or a contractor: - Manufacturing plants: metal, plastics, chemicals, paper and packaging - Food and beverage producers - Industrial maintenance contractors - Maintenance engineering firms Not on the list? attendo can be set up for any line of business, with your document types, your fields and your vocabulary. ## Corrective work eats up preventive work On a plant floor, every hour of downtime has a price. And the call is almost always made without reliability data at hand. ### The line stops and nobody knows why Breakdowns get written down but never analyzed. Replacements are decided by gut feeling, and preventive work is pushed back every time production is under pressure. ### The critical spare is not there Or it is there and nobody can find it. Stock lives in the ERP, the location in the storekeeper’s head and the expiration date nowhere. ### Audits rebuilt by hand Nonconformities, contractors on site and food safety records spread across paper. Before every audit, someone pulls them together. ## Each challenge, with the modules that solve it They are modules of the same platform: you turn on the ones you use, and they all work on the same record. ### Preventive, corrective and predictive on the same asset Plans trigger preventive work, and breakdowns come in through the machine’s QR code. Sensors and IoT feed AI-based predictive maintenance, and standardized metrics give MTBF, MTTR and availability per asset. - [Assets and inventory](https://attendo.me/en/modules/assets) - [AI-CMMS](https://attendo.me/en/modules/ai-cmms) - [Kanban](https://attendo.me/en/modules/kanban) - [attendo Forms](https://attendo.me/en/modules/forms) ### The spare part, located and on time Several warehouses with stock, transfers, lots, expiration dates and serial numbers. Planned parts are reserved on the work order, and replenishment and purchase orders are generated automatically. - [Warehouse, purchasing and stock](https://attendo.me/en/modules/purchasing-and-stock) - [ERP integration](https://attendo.me/en/modules/erp-integrations) ### Quality and contractors, with evidence A nonconformity is opened by QR code with photos and a checklist, and a staged process will not let it close without verification. Contractors receive and close their work in the vendor portal. - [attendo Checklist](https://attendo.me/en/modules/checklists) - [Flows and AI-Flows](https://attendo.me/en/modules/flows) - [Customer, supplier and partner portals](https://attendo.me/en/modules/customer-portal) - [Timeline](https://attendo.me/en/modules/timeline) ## A packaging machine that stops twice in one week From a stoppage reported by QR code to a corrected preventive plan. Example scenario, with made-up data. ### Step 1 · The operator reports it They scan the packaging machine’s QR code and mark it as stopped. The corrective work order is created with the asset, the line and the time of the stop. ### Step 2 · Maintenance steps in The app shows it is the second stop caused by the same sensor. The technician replaces the part and draws it from the warehouse. ### Step 3 · A nonconformity is opened Quality opens the nonconformity for the affected batch, and the process requires verification before it can close. ### Step 4 · The plan is reviewed The plan efficiency analysis shows that this machine’s preventive plan is not preventing this failure. The maintenance lead adjusts the frequency. ## Where to start They are the same platform with each area’s modules turned on. Start with one and add the rest without migrating anything. - [attendo CMMS](https://attendo.me/en/cmms): Start here: assets, plans, work orders and reliability. - [attendo Ticketing](https://attendo.me/en/ticketing): For quality and internal IT: issues with SLAs and traceability. - [attendo Field Service](https://attendo.me/en/field-service): If you also maintain equipment at customer sites. ## marIA on the plant floor It analyzes what you already record so you can decide with data. ### Predictive with your sensors With sensors connected, AI models watch the readings and propose an intervention before the breakdown. ### Likely diagnosis Using the asset’s history, AI-CMMS proposes the most likely cause and the criticality of each breakdown. ### Plans that get reviewed The plan efficiency analysis shows which preventive tasks are not preventing failures and which ones are unnecessary. **What it does not do:** It does not stop or start machines, and it does not change a plan unless a person approves it. ## What attendo does not do Better to know before the demo. And if your case calls for another tool, we will tell you. - **Not an MES or SCADA** attendo does not control production or machines. It receives data from sensors and other systems through the API, for maintenance. - **Large plants with a reliability team** If you need full RCM and deep SAP integration, SAP PM or Maximo may be a better fit. We cover it in the market comparison. - **Food safety, with checklists** HACCP is set up with checklists and plans. It is not a separate module with fixed templates. ## Regulations you can document The obligation is yours and your engineer’s or advisor’s. attendo helps you document every inspection and every step, with its date, its author and its evidence. - **HACCP · food safety** Cleaning, temperature and critical control point checks, as periodic checklists with their evidence. ## Before you decide An honest comparison and a calculator with its assumptions in plain view. ### [Best CMMS software 2026](https://attendo.me/en/comparisons/best-cmms-software-2026) Ten maintenance software options, with no scores: what each one does well and who it is for.

Both. In a plant you maintain your own assets. If you also maintain customer equipment, each asset hangs from its customer and its contract. ### Does it connect to sensors? Yes. Sensors and IoT devices connect natively, and AI-based predictive maintenance works on their readings. ### Does it calculate MTBF and MTTR? Yes, per asset, family or plant, with standardized maintenance metrics and the availability of each machine. ### Do I have to give up my ERP? No. attendo is not an ERP or accounting software: it runs maintenance and connects with Odoo, Business Central, SAP Business One or Holded for items, purchasing and costs. ### Does it work for food and beverage plants? Yes. HACCP checks are set up as periodic checklists, and the warehouse tracks lots and expiration dates for parts and consumables. ### Can contractors work in attendo? Yes, in the subcontractor portal: they accept or decline each work order, propose a date, close it with their report and it goes into the asset’s history. They also upload the documents you require, with their expiration date, and you get a warning when one is not current. ## Bring us your list of critical assets We will show you attendo with your machines, your plans and your spare parts.
