Manufacturing Company Reduces Downtime 40% with UpKeep

Regional manufacturing facility implements UpKeep to replace spreadsheet-based maintenance, reducing downtime and improving preventive maintenance scheduling.

The Challenge

A 200-employee manufacturing facility was managing maintenance through spreadsheets and email, leading to reactive maintenance patterns, equipment downtime, and difficulty tracking maintenance history. Technicians couldn't access work orders from the production floor.

The Solution

The facility implemented UpKeep over a 2-week period, migrating asset data and work order history. UpKeep's mobile apps enabled technicians to access work orders, update status, and scan parts directly from production floors. AI-powered preventive maintenance suggestions helped optimize PM schedules based on actual equipment usage.
