Machinery Management

Coordinate plant availability, maintenance and project use

Machinery (Plant) Management Module facilitates maintenance, planning, availability, mobilisation and utilization based on the dynamic requirements of each project, the available machine operators and site/yard BoQs, WBSs, and Work Orders.

The module encompasses both preventive and corrective maintenance planning, along with comprehensive management of machinery—including their attachments and spares—as well as hand tools, shutters, and scaffolding, ensuring optimal availability and utilization of equipment and operators

Equipment management software for capital projects

Equipment management software for capital projects controls the plant fleet: availability, allocation, daily use, maintenance, spare parts and cost. In ProjectVIEW ERP, every hour of equipment use is charged to a BoQ item or WBS activity. In this way, plant cost appears in cost control in the right place.

Key Features

  • Record Machines/Assets Technical Specs
  • Calculation of hourly cost for work and idle
  • Association of Machinery with Assets
  • Assign Machineries to Employees/Operators
  • Machinery Site Request
  • Machinery Scheduling/Booking based on Availability
  • Machinery Logistics/Mobilization to Sites
  • Corrective/Preventive Maintenance
  • Spares Management - Procurement
  • Daily Machinery Utilization – BoQ related

Machinery Management

Manage plant and machinery across projects. Compare the machines each BoQ line needs with the fleet available each month, and see shortfalls early. Plan preventive and corrective maintenance and track spares.

  • Machinery need vs availability per type and month
  • Maintenance due by kilometers, hours or days
  • Hourly cost for work and idle time, linked to BoQ and WBS

What ProjectVIEW Machinery Management contains

  • Equipment register: type, group, category, specifications and asset code for depreciation.
  • Equipment requests: site teams request plant by type and period from an availability matrix.
  • Allocation: the plant manager assigns own fleet or hires equipment, with RFQs for rentals.
  • Daily use records: operators and hours per activity, BoQ item or cost center.
  • Preventive, corrective and predictive maintenance: plans follow manufacturer manuals and sensor data.
  • Spare parts: a parts database with expiry dates, linked to maintenance alerts and QC checklists.
  • Mechanics scheduling: the system suggests the best-fit mechanic by skill, location and priority.

Why it matters in project-based ERP

  • Higher utilization: one view of availability prevents idle or double-booked equipment.
  • Own or hire, with facts: compare in-house fleet and rental on cost.
  • Less downtime: planned maintenance and ready spare parts reduce breakdowns.
  • True plant cost: depreciation and running cost post to BoQ items, WBS and accounting.

Site apps and add-ons

  • Equipment request and monitoring app: site requests and daily records from any device.
  • Telematics add-on: collects operating data automatically to measure performance and efficiency.
FAQ

FAQ: equipment and plant management

What is equipment management software for capital projects?

It is software that registers, allocates, maintains and costs plant and equipment across projects. It serves construction, shipbuilding and repair, marine and offshore, mining and quarrying, and project-based manufacturing companies.

Does ProjectVIEW ERP support predictive maintenance?

Yes. Maintenance plans follow the equipment manuals. In addition, sensor data can trigger alerts when performance moves away from normal values.

How is equipment cost charged to projects?

Daily use records link operators and hours to activities, BoQ items or cost centers. Depreciation is also split per project according to use.

Can ProjectVIEW ERP manage rented equipment?

Yes. The plant manager can use the own fleet or hire equipment, and can send RFQs to rental companies from the system.
