Utilization‑based maintenance helps you plan equipment maintenance based on how much the machine is actually used, not just by dates. In ON!Track, maintenance can be planned using:
- Engine hours
- Distance traveled
When a machine is used more, ON!Track can alert (subscribing to a specific service alert is an Admin-only function) you when maintenance is due or overdue. This helps keep equipment in good condition and avoid surprises.
Maintenance types
- Based on engine hours : Example: Service after every 1,000 hours of use
- Based on distance: Example: Service after every 500 kilometers or miles
Alerts and actions
Alerts appear in ON!Track and can also be sent by email or app notification Users can:
- View the alert
- Reschedule the service
- Mark the service as completed
Maintenance reports
You can use reports to review and share maintenance information, reviews and follow-ups such as:
- What type of maintenance is planned
- When it was scheduled
- When it was completed
Note: Maintenance alerts are only created for heavy equipment that sends usage data. Other assets can have maintenance set up, but alerts will not be generated.
How utilization based maintenance helps your business
- Less unexpected downtime: Maintenance is planned based on real usage, reducing breakdowns.
- Better planning: Teams know what maintenance is coming up and can plan ahead.
- Shared visibility across teams: Shared visibility of what is due next supports smoother handovers between operations, technicians, and site teams.
- Stronger follow‑up: Alerts make it easier to act on overdue maintenance.
Benefits of utilization based maintenance
- Maintenance can be based on engine hours or distance.
- Maintenance rules can be reused for many machines.
- Alerts are created automatically for heavy equipment.
- Services can be updated, edited, and completed in ON!Track.
- Maintenance history can be reviewed and shared using reports.
Use Cases
- Project or jobsite manager: Checks upcoming maintenance to avoid starting work with equipment that needs service soon.
- Service technician: Uses alerts to know which machine needs service next and records completed work.
- Driver or operator: Checks when the next service is due and reports issues early.
- Operations manager: Uses reports to review maintenance status and coordinate service work.
- ON!Track admin: Sets up maintenance rules and manages who receives alerts.
Summary
Alerts, service actions, and reports make it easy to manage maintenance and keep equipment running smoothly.
