Scheduled maintenance reminders for equipment

Purpose

1. Automatedly schedule and dispatch recurring maintenance reminders for specific park equipment (benches, playgrounds, lighting, irrigation, waste bins) to respective teams, thus automating compliance, lifespan extension, and reducing human task management.

2. Automate the logging, escalation, and status tracking of all scheduled maintenance cycles for auditing and reporting, integrated across multiple channels (email, SMS, chat, app, ticketing).

3. Enable automation for custom escalation rules (overdue, high-priority, safety-critical), documentation upload, and work order generation for operations and maintenance in city parks.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automated schedule based on asset metadata (installation, last service, manufacturer intervals).

2. Manual trigger by facilities manager for ad-hoc reminders or new asset onboarding automation.

3. Automatedly triggered by sensor events (IoT, SCADA) or API update indicating usage or wear-monitoring threshold.

4. Periodic calendar events (specific day/week/month), public holidays, or special event override automation.
