  1. Maintenance

Maintenance Workstations

The Maintenance Workstations page provides a centralized view of the maintenance condition of all production workstations in Fabritec.
It combines each workstation’s current condition with its preventive maintenance plans, open maintenance workload, service progress, downtime, and maintenance KPIs.
image.png
Instead of reviewing machines through separate maintenance sheets, production reports, and verbal updates, the register allows maintenance, production, and management teams to understand:
Which workstations are currently down
Which workstations have open maintenance orders
Which preventive maintenance plans are due
Which plans are approaching their warning point
Which workstations do not have an active maintenance plan
When each workstation was last serviced
How much of the next service interval has been consumed
Which maintenance plan requires attention first
The next scheduled maintenance activity
Period and lifetime maintenance performance
A workstation can have several active maintenance plans.
Fabritec evaluates every plan independently using its own service baseline, meter progress, forecast, maintenance orders, downtime records, and performance history.

📍 Where to Find Maintenance Workstations
Navigate to:
Maintenance → Workstations
The Maintenance menu also provides access to:
Orders
Plans
Planning Calendar
The Workstations page acts as the main maintenance register, while the other pages are used to define plans, execute orders, and schedule maintenance activities.
The information and columns available depend on the logged-in user’s maintenance permissions.
For example, maintenance order, plan, and KPI information appears only when the user’s role is authorized to view that data.

Maintenance Workstations Page#

The page is divided into three main areas:
KPI period selection
Maintenance summary cards
Workstation maintenance register
The summary cards provide a quick overview of the current maintenance workload.
The register provides detailed maintenance information for each workstation.

KPI Period#

Use the From and To fields to select the period used for period-based maintenance KPIs.
image.png
To apply a period:
1.
Select the start date in From.
2.
Select the end date in To.
3.
Click Apply.
4.
Review the updated period KPIs in the workstation register.
The selected period can cover a maximum of 93 days.
If the selected range is invalid or exceeds the limit, Fabritec may display:
Could not load the maintenance workstation register. Choose a valid period of up to 93 days and try again.
To correct the period:
1.
Confirm that the From and To dates are valid.
2.
Confirm that the To date is not earlier than the From date.
3.
Reduce the selected range to 93 days or fewer.
4.
Click Apply again.

What the Selected Period Controls#

The selected KPI period controls calculations such as:
Availability
Maintenance downtime
Period MTBF
Period MTTR
The selected period does not turn the page into a complete historical snapshot.
The following information continues to use the latest available data:
Current workstation status
Open maintenance orders
Current plan progress
Next scheduled maintenance work
Period MTBF and MTTR begin from whichever date is later:
The start of the selected KPI period
The workstation’s Effective Date
Lifetime MTBF and MTTR begin from the workstation’s Effective Date.
This prevents Fabritec from calculating maintenance performance for a period before the workstation became effective in the system.

Maintenance Summary Cards#

The summary cards at the top of the page provide an immediate view of the current maintenance situation.

Workstations#

Displays the number of workstations included in the maintenance register.
This helps users understand the total equipment population currently being reviewed.

Down Now#

Displays the number of workstations currently affected by an active maintenance or breakdown condition.
A workstation may appear as down when a Full Stop maintenance activity or breakdown has opened an active downtime window.
The affected workstation is removed from available production capacity for the overlapping maintenance period.
The downtime applies only to the affected workstation, even when several workstations use the same production calendar.
Use this card to identify equipment that may be affecting current production capacity.

Open Orders#

Displays the number of active maintenance orders that have not reached a terminal status.
Open orders may include orders in statuses such as:
Requested
Scheduled
In Progress
On Hold
Completed and Cancelled orders are not considered active maintenance work.
Use this card to understand how much maintenance work is currently waiting, scheduled, or under execution.

Plans Due#

Displays the number of preventive maintenance plans that have reached or exceeded their full service interval.
A plan becomes due when its consumption reaches 100% or more of the configured interval.
Examples include:
A 500-hour plan becomes due after 500 usage hours.
A 10,000-item plan becomes due after 10,000 processed items.
A 30-day plan becomes due 30 days after the last service date.
The displayed percentage may exceed 100% so users can understand how far overdue the plan has become.

Due Soon#

Displays maintenance plans that have reached their configured warning percentage but have not yet reached their full interval.
For example, a 500-hour plan with a warning setting of 90% becomes due soon after 450 usage hours.
Due Soon gives the maintenance team time to prepare:
Maintenance technicians
Tools
Spare parts
Production release
Safety arrangements
Alternative workstation capacity
External service providers
When a plan reaches its warning threshold, Fabritec can create one unscheduled Requested preventive maintenance order for that plan and workstation.
Reaching 100% continues to use the same open order instead of creating a duplicate.

Without a Plan#

Displays workstations that are not assigned to an active preventive maintenance plan.
These workstations can still have:
Corrective maintenance orders
Inspection orders
Breakdown orders
Downtime history
However, they do not have a recurring preventive rule that tracks usage or elapsed time toward the next service.
Use this card to identify equipment that may require preventive maintenance coverage.

Workstation Maintenance Register#

The register provides one row for each workstation.
Visible columns can include:
Workstation
Workstation Group
Production Stage
Effective Date
Status
Plan Name
Plan Health
Last Service
Depending on the user’s permissions and selected columns, the register may also display:
Open maintenance orders
Next scheduled work
Availability
Downtime
Period MTBF
Period MTTR
Lifetime MTBF
Lifetime MTTR
Use the horizontal scroll bar when additional columns extend beyond the visible page area.

Workstation#

Displays the workstation name and identifying code.
Examples include:
CNC Plasma Cutting Machine
MIG/MAG Welding Station
Galvanizing Bath
Plate Rolling Machine
Drying Area
Clear workstation names and codes help maintenance users identify the correct equipment without opening another page.

Workstation Group#

Displays the workstation group, where applicable.
A workstation group can help organize equipment with similar functions or capabilities.
Examples might include:
CNC Cutting Machines
Welding Stations
Rolling Machines
Painting Areas
For maintenance plans, workstation groups are used only to organize the workstation picker and support bulk selection.
A group does not create a shared service baseline.
Each selected workstation keeps its own:
Current meter
Last-service baseline
Due percentage
Forecast
Maintenance orders
Downtime
KPIs
Future changes to workstation group membership do not automatically update an existing maintenance plan.
For example, adding a new machine to the Welding Stations group does not automatically add that machine to maintenance plans that were previously assigned using the group.
The plan must be edited when the new workstation also requires the service.

Production Stage#

Displays the production stage associated with the workstation.
Examples include:
Cutting
Welding
Bending
Rolling
Painting
Galvanizing
This helps maintenance and production teams understand which manufacturing process may be affected when the workstation becomes unavailable.

Effective Date#

Displays the date from which the workstation is treated as active for maintenance reporting.
The Effective Date establishes the earliest point used for lifetime maintenance measurements.
For period MTBF and MTTR, Fabritec uses the later of:
The selected period start date
The workstation Effective Date
For lifetime MTBF and MTTR, the calculation begins from the Effective Date.

Status#

Displays the workstation’s current maintenance-related condition.
Statuses visible in the register may include:
Idle
Down Now
Maintenance orders can also affect production using:
No Stop
Reduced Output
Full Stop

Idle#

The workstation is not currently affected by an active maintenance-down condition.
Idle in the maintenance register does not necessarily mean that no production activity is occurring throughout Fabritec.
Fabritec separates:
The workstation’s stored maintenance status
The live operational status calculated for productivity and Andon views
For example, the Andon board may display a workstation as Running based on recorded production activity, while the maintenance register continues to use the stored maintenance condition to identify Broken or Under Maintenance equipment.

Down Now#

The workstation is currently affected by maintenance or breakdown downtime.
The row may also show the date and time when the current down condition began.
A Full Stop maintenance window removes the workstation’s overlapping scheduled production capacity.
When the related maintenance order is completed or cancelled:
The downtime window is closed
The workstation maintenance status returns to Idle
Normal availability calculations resume

No Stop#

A No Stop maintenance activity is recorded without opening a downtime or capacity-reduction window.
The workstation remains available for production while the maintenance activity is tracked.
Examples include:
External visual inspection
Documentation checks
Non-invasive monitoring
Maintenance that does not interfere with workstation operation

Reduced Output#

A Reduced Output maintenance activity does not fully stop the workstation.
Instead, it records a partial capacity-reduction window using the percentage configured in the maintenance plan or order.
The workstation remains operational, but its available production capacity is reduced during the maintenance period.

Full Stop#

A Full Stop maintenance activity makes the workstation unavailable for production.
It opens a workstation-specific downtime window and removes the overlapping scheduled hours from available capacity.
Full Stop is appropriate for activities such as:
Electrical isolation
Major mechanical repair
Internal machine inspection
Component replacement
Safety lockout
Breakdown repair

Plan Name#

Displays the preventive maintenance plan currently requiring attention first.
When a workstation has multiple active plans, Fabritec:
1.
Identifies the plan requiring the highest level of attention.
2.
Displays that plan as the primary plan.
3.
Lists the workstation’s other active plans separately.
For example, one machine may have:
A 30-day lubrication plan
A 500-hour mechanical service
A 10,000-item consumables inspection
An annual electrical inspection
Each plan remains independent.
Completing one plan resets only that plan’s workstation baseline.
It does not reset the other plans assigned to the same workstation.

No Maintenance Plan#

When the workstation has no active preventive maintenance plan, the Plan Name column displays:
No maintenance plan
The Plan Health column also displays a corresponding no-plan indicator.
The workstation can still receive manually created Corrective, Inspection, or Breakdown orders.

Plan Health#

The Plan Health column shows how far the workstation has progressed toward the next service for the displayed maintenance plan.
The column may include:
Due Soon or Due badge
Percentage consumed
Progress bar
Consumed value
Interval value
Trigger unit
Examples include:
450 / 500 hours
9,000 / 10,000 items
27 / 30 days

Due Soon#

The plan has reached its configured warning threshold but remains below 100%.
Use Due Soon plans to prepare the maintenance activity before it becomes overdue.

Due#

The plan has reached or exceeded 100% of its configured interval.
Due plans require maintenance attention and may already have an open preventive maintenance order.

Progress Above 100%#

Plan progress is allowed to exceed 100%.
For example:
Interval: 7 days
Time since service: 11 days
Plan Health:
11 ÷ 7 × 100 = 157.1%
Displaying the full percentage makes the severity of overdue maintenance visible instead of limiting the progress to 100%.

How Plan Health Is Calculated#

Plan Health calculations depend on the plan’s Trigger Type.

Usage Hours#

For a Usage Hours plan, Fabritec calculates:
Current Cumulative Workstation Hours − Baseline Hours
Example:
Baseline Hours: 3,000
Current Meter: 3,450
Consumed Since Service: 450 hours
Plan Interval: 500 hours
Plan Health: 90%

Usage Items#

For a Usage Items plan, Fabritec calculates:
Current Cumulative Workstation Items − Baseline Items
Example:
Baseline Items: 20,000
Current Meter: 29,000
Consumed Since Service: 9,000 items
Plan Interval: 10,000 items
Plan Health: 90%

Time Interval#

For a Time Interval plan, Fabritec calculates the elapsed days from the Last Service Date.
Example:
Last Service: July 1
Current Date: July 28
Consumed: 27 days
Plan Interval: 30 days
Plan Health: 90%

Where Usage Meter Data Comes From#

Usage-based maintenance plans depend on production activity recorded against the workstation.
Fabritec uses qualifying production records to update the workstation meter.
The maintenance meter includes:
Production Progress
Rework Progress
The system uses:
Recorded operation duration for Usage Hours
Non-negative recorded quantity for Usage Items
Users do not manually enter cumulative maintenance meter values.
Production records remain the source of truth for equipment usage.
If production is recorded against the wrong workstation, the maintenance meter and service forecast may also be incorrect.

Last Service#

Displays the last service date used as the baseline for the primary plan shown in the row.
During initial maintenance-plan setup, users select the real last-service date for each workstation.
Fabritec then derives the applicable usage-hour and usage-item baselines automatically from production history.
After the plan creates maintenance-order history, the baseline becomes controlled by maintenance completion.
Manual baseline editing is locked to protect maintenance history.
When a plan-linked preventive order is completed, Fabritec captures:
Actual completion date
Exact completion time
Current workstation meter hours
Current workstation meter items
These values become the starting point for the next maintenance cycle.

Open Maintenance Orders#

When enabled in the register, the Open Orders information shows the active maintenance workload for the workstation.
An order is considered open when it has not been completed or cancelled.
Possible active statuses include:
Requested
Scheduled
In Progress
On Hold
A workstation can have more than one open maintenance order.
Examples include:
A requested inspection
A scheduled preventive service
An in-progress corrective repair
A separate order waiting for spare parts

Next Scheduled Work#

The next scheduled maintenance activity is the earliest open maintenance order whose Scheduled Start is:
The current time, or
A future time
An order with a Scheduled Start in the past is not displayed as the workstation’s next scheduled work.
Past-start orders may remain open and visible on the Orders page, but they do not replace the next current or future scheduled activity in this column.

Maintenance KPIs#

The workstation register can display period and lifetime maintenance KPIs when the user has permission to view them.

Availability#

Availability measures how much of the workstation’s scheduled production time remained available after maintenance downtime.
Calculation:
Availability = 1 − Maintenance Downtime During Scheduled Hours ÷ Scheduled Working Hours
Only downtime overlapping scheduled working time contributes to the availability calculation.
For example:
Maintenance during an active shift affects availability.
Maintenance completed overnight outside scheduled hours does not reduce scheduled availability.
Downtime during a scheduled break does not reduce working-time availability.
When there is no valid scheduled-hours denominator, Fabritec displays:
—
This means the value cannot be calculated. It does not mean zero.

Downtime#

Displays maintenance downtime during the selected period.
Downtime may include:
Breakdown downtime
Full Stop preventive maintenance
Full Stop corrective maintenance
Full Stop inspection activity
Capacity loss caused by Reduced Output maintenance, where applicable
Fabritec separates maintenance downtime from missing-operator coverage gaps.
A workstation under maintenance appears as maintenance downtime rather than as an unstaffed workstation.

Period MTBF#

MTBF means Mean Time Between Failures.
It measures the workstation’s average scheduled uptime between recorded failure events during the selected period.
Period MTBF starts from the later of:
The selected From date
The workstation Effective Date
A value may display as — when the calculation does not have sufficient failure history or a valid denominator.
A higher MTBF generally indicates that the workstation operates longer between failures.

Period MTTR#

MTTR means Mean Time to Repair.
It measures the average repair duration for failures included in the selected period.
The calculation uses the failure start and actual completion information.
MTTR can include failure events with:
No Stop impact
Reduced Output impact
Full Stop impact
It is not limited only to events that fully stopped the workstation.
A lower MTTR generally indicates faster restoration after failures.

Lifetime MTBF and MTTR#

Lifetime values are calculated from the workstation Effective Date.
They provide a broader view of reliability and repair performance across the workstation’s full recorded maintenance history.
Use period and lifetime values together:
Period KPIs show recent performance.
Lifetime KPIs provide long-term context.
A period value that is significantly worse than the lifetime value may indicate a recent maintenance problem.
A period value that is better may indicate improved maintenance performance.

Page Tools#

Use Reset Cache when the register still appears outdated after:
Using Refresh
Changing the column configuration
Completing a major maintenance update
Updating several plans or orders
Use Refresh first.
Reset Cache should normally be used only when the displayed grid information remains outdated.

Implementing Maintenance Workstations#

The Maintenance Workstations register becomes useful after the required production and maintenance setup has been completed.

1. Configure Production Workstations#

Navigate to:
Production Setup → Workstations
Confirm that every maintainable machine or work area has been created.
Use clear values for:
Workstation Code
Workstation Name
Production Stage
Workstation Group
Workstation Type
Capacity Configuration
Effective Date
The workstation name and code should allow maintenance users to identify the equipment without confusion.

2. Confirm Production Usage Is Being Recorded#

Usage-based maintenance plans depend on production activity recorded against the workstation.
Relevant production records contribute:
Duration to Usage Hours
Quantity to Usage Items
Confirm that production is being recorded against the correct workstation.
Incorrect workstation selection during production tracking can affect:
Current meter values
Plan Health
Due Soon timing
Due timing
Maintenance forecasts

3. Create Preventive Maintenance Plans#

Navigate to:
Maintenance → Plans
Create each recurring maintenance requirement separately.
Examples include:
Weekly safety inspection
500-hour lubrication service
10,000-item tooling inspection
Monthly cleaning
Annual calibration
For each plan, define:
Plan Name
Workstations
Trigger Type
Interval Value
Warn At %
Estimated Downtime
Default Production Impact
Initial Service Date
Create separate plans when maintenance activities have different intervals, service requirements, or production impacts.

4. Verify the Initial Service Baseline#

Use the real last-service date for every selected workstation.
Do not automatically use the maintenance-plan creation date when the machine was serviced earlier.
Fabritec derives the baseline meter values from production history.
Review the initial service dates carefully because they can only be corrected before that plan and workstation create maintenance-order history.
After order history exists, maintenance completion controls the baseline.

5. Monitor Plan Progress#

Return to:
Maintenance → Workstations
Review:
Plans Due
Due Soon plans
Workstations Without a Plan
Last Service dates
Current meter progress
Open maintenance orders
Next scheduled work
Prioritize workstations whose plan percentage is closest to or beyond the service interval.

6. Review Generated Preventive Orders#

When a preventive plan reaches its warning threshold, Fabritec can create an unscheduled Requested preventive order.
Navigate to:
Maintenance → Orders
Review the generated order and confirm:
Workstation
Maintenance Plan
Priority
Estimated Downtime
Production Impact
Checklist
Required Parts
Description
Only one active preventive order should exist for the same plan and workstation.

7. Schedule the Maintenance Activity#

Use the maintenance order or navigate to:
Maintenance → Planning Calendar
Set the Scheduled Start and Scheduled End.
Review:
Shift windows
Unscheduled preventive orders
Suggested non-working windows
Cover candidates
Current production commitments
Workstation load
Required technicians and parts
Scheduling an order defines when the work is planned.
The maintenance impact is applied according to the order lifecycle and execution state.

8. Execute and Complete the Order#

Move the order through the correct maintenance lifecycle.
A typical preventive flow is:
Requested → Scheduled → In Progress → Completed
Before completion:
Complete every required checklist step.
Record the final outcome of planned parts.
Confirm the actual start and end times.
Enter the maintenance resolution.
Confirm any failure information where required.
Test the workstation.
Confirm that the workstation can safely return to production.
Successful completion resets only the applicable plan and workstation baseline.
Other plans on the same workstation continue from their existing baselines.

9. Review the Updated Workstation Register#

Return to:
Maintenance → Workstations
Confirm that:
The workstation is no longer shown under Down Now.
The number of open orders has changed.
The Last Service Date has been updated.
Plan Health has restarted from the new baseline.
Availability and downtime reflect the maintenance event.
The next maintenance forecast has been recalculated.
Use Refresh if the latest information is not immediately visible.

Complete Example#

Assume the factory has a workstation named:
Galvanizing Bath
It has a preventive maintenance plan called:
Galvanizing Bath – 7-Day Inspection
The plan is configured as follows:
FieldValue
Trigger TypeTime Interval
Interval Value7 days
Warn At90%
Estimated Downtime2 hours
Default Production ImpactFull Stop
Last Service DateJuly 16, 2026
On July 27, 2026:
Elapsed time since service: 11 days
Plan interval: 7 days
Plan Health: 157.1%
Plan status: Due
Calculation:
11 ÷ 7 × 100 = 157.1%
The plan is overdue.
A Requested preventive maintenance order should already exist if the warning threshold was evaluated and no other active order exists for the same plan and workstation.
The maintenance planner then:
1.
Navigates to Maintenance → Orders.
2.
Opens the preventive maintenance order.
3.
Reviews the workstation, impact, checklist, and estimated downtime.
4.
Schedules the order during an appropriate maintenance window.
5.
Confirms the Full Stop impact.
6.
Moves the order to In Progress when the work begins.
7.
Completes the required inspection checklist.
8.
Records any parts consumed, replaced, returned, or not used.
9.
Tests the Galvanizing Bath.
10.
Records the maintenance resolution.
11.
Completes the order.
While the Full Stop maintenance window is active:
The workstation appears under Down Now.
Its status displays Down Now.
Its overlapping scheduled capacity is removed.
The downtime contributes to maintenance availability.
The event does not appear as a missing-operator coverage gap.
After completion:
The downtime window closes.
The workstation returns to Idle.
July 27 becomes the new Last Service Date.
The plan starts a new seven-day cycle.
The next due point is recalculated.

How to Read the Page#

A practical maintenance review can be completed in the following order:
1.
Check Down Now for equipment currently affecting production.
2.
Review Open Orders for unfinished maintenance work.
3.
Review Plans Due for overdue preventive services.
4.
Check Due Soon to prepare upcoming maintenance.
5.
Review Without a Plan to identify equipment without preventive coverage.
6.
Filter the register by Production Stage or Workstation Group.
7.
Review Plan Health and Last Service for priority equipment.
8.
Review period Availability, Downtime, MTBF, and MTTR.
9.
Compare recent period KPIs with lifetime results.
10.
Open the Orders or Planning Calendar page to take action.

Permissions#

Maintenance workstation information is controlled by maintenance permissions.
Relevant permissions include:
View Maintenance Orders — Displays maintenance order workload and order-related information.
View Maintenance Plans — Displays preventive plans, plan progress, and forecasts.
View Maintenance KPIs — Displays availability, downtime, MTBF, MTTR, and related maintenance insights.
Manage Maintenance — Creates and edits plans, schedules and executes orders, and completes maintenance work.
Report Maintenance Issue — Allows authorized users to report a workstation breakdown.
A user may be able to open the Maintenance Workstations register while seeing only the information allowed by their role.

Governance Rules#

A workstation can have multiple active maintenance plans.
Every plan and workstation combination keeps an independent service baseline.
Completing one plan must not reset another plan.
Workstation groups organize plan selection only.
Adding a workstation to a group does not automatically add it to an existing plan.
Usage meters are derived from production records.
Users do not manually enter cumulative meter hours or items.
Plan percentages may exceed 100%.
Due Soon begins at the configured warning percentage.
Due begins at 100%.
One active preventive order should exist for the same plan and workstation.
Preventive orders must be connected to an active applicable maintenance plan.
Corrective and Inspection orders do not reset preventive-plan baselines.
Breakdown orders must be created through the Report Breakdown workflow.
Full Stop maintenance removes only the affected workstation from capacity.
Reduced Output maintenance reduces capacity without fully stopping the workstation.
No Stop maintenance does not create a capacity window.
Maintenance downtime is not treated as a missing-operator coverage gap.
Current status, open orders, and plan progress always use the latest data.
The KPI date range cannot exceed 93 days.
Initial service dates must be reviewed before order history locks manual baseline editing.
Completed maintenance orders must contain all required checklist and part outcomes.
Maintenance work should not be marked complete before the workstation is tested.

⭐ Best Practices#

Create preventive maintenance plans for every critical workstation.
Use clear plan names that include the service type and trigger.
Create separate plans for services with different intervals.
Use actual last-service dates during initial setup.
Base maintenance intervals on equipment recommendations and maintenance history.
Use an earlier warning percentage when parts or external technicians require preparation.
Review Down Now workstations at the start of each shift.
Review Due and Due Soon plans during daily maintenance meetings.
Investigate workstations with repeated downtime or low availability.
Compare period KPIs with lifetime MTBF and MTTR.
Keep production records assigned to the correct workstation.
Review workstations without plans regularly.
Schedule Full Stop maintenance around production requirements.
Use suggested non-working windows where practical.
Confirm cover capacity before stopping a bottleneck workstation.
Complete maintenance orders promptly so baselines and forecasts remain accurate.
Do not close a maintenance order before functional testing is complete.
Use Refresh after maintenance updates.
Use Reset Cache only when Refresh does not update the register.
