Maintenance schedule creation for equipment fleet

Purpose

1. Automate the creation and management of maintenance schedules for a diverse fleet of air compressors, consolidating data, sending alerts, and synchronizing service logs.

2. Ensure preventive maintenance is never missed, optimize operational uptime, automate technician dispatch, and consolidate equipment histories for compliance and analytics.

3. Centralize scheduling to avoid manual errors, reduce downtime, and maximize asset lifespan.

4. Enable seamless communication between equipment sensors, ERP, inventory, and field staff.

Trigger Conditions

1. Sensor-detected usage thresholds, hours run, time since last maintenance, or abnormal readings.

2. Manual service requests submitted by staff.

3. Scheduled intervals (e.g., every 500 hours, monthly, or after certain output cycles).

4. API webhook from IoT platform reporting fault or maintenance due.
