Equipment maintenance log & service reminders

An equipment maintenance log portal is where a maintenance team keeps each machine's service and repair history on the machine's own record and gets a reminder before its next service is due. The loader's last oil change lives on the loader, not in a greasy logbook in the cab.

Pattern: Tracking

Describe it to Pory

“We run about 60 machines across two yards: loaders, forklifts, compressors. We need each machine's service history in one place and a reminder when a service is coming due.”

How Pory sets it up

Pory gives every maintenance manager and technician a sign-in of their own. It covers schedule & history. Machines, work orders, service log and team live in Pory's own database, so there's no spreadsheet to keep in sync.

What it does

01

Every service and repair lives on the machine it was done to

Service history was a logbook in each cab and a spreadsheet the manager updated when they remembered. Technicians log each service, repair and part against the machine, with the date and the engine hours. Open CAT 950 loader #2 and its last three services and the bucket tooth sit right there, so warranty claims and "when was this last done?" take seconds, not a hunt through the cab.

A reminder arrives before a machine's service date slips past

The only sign a service was due was a sticker on the dashboard, faded to blank by its second month. Each machine carries its next service due date, and as it gets close a reminder lands in the technician's inbox here and by email. No forklift runs three weeks past its service again because nobody could read the sticker.
