Enterprise Asset Management

Improve efficiency and reduce the cost of your asset management and maintenance functions - with end-to-end mobility

Asset management and asset maintenance are typically very labor intensive and costly tasks. Asset inventory normally requires hands-on involvement with every asset to record the serial number and other crucial asset data. Inaccuracies in asset inventory can lead to non-compliance with government regulations regarding asset accounting, translating into fines or excessive taxes. And asset maintenance is crucial to keeping your operations up and running - lack of timely maintenance can result in downtime for an entire department or division - a very costly event.

An end-to-end mobility solution from Motorola and Zebra can help streamline and error-proof asset maintenance and management functions, protecting the uptime of your operations as well as your profitability. When your staff is outfitted with a Motorola mobile computer and a Zebra mobile printer, a bar coded or RFID-enabled asset tag can be printed out on the spot. Now, a quick scan of the tag instantly and automatically captures the asset information in just seconds, and damaged or missing labels can be re-printed on the spot. The result? A dramatic reduction in the time and cost associated with inventory.

In asset maintenance activities, electronic work orders can be sent directly to the Motorola mobile computer, eliminating the need for workers to waste time traveling to a printer to pick up work orders - and enabling the dynamic assignment of work orders to address a potential equipment issue before asset uptime is impacted. In addition, there is no need for workers to search for manuals and the asset's physical history file - at the press of a few buttons, workers can access the complete maintenance history for any asset, a checklist of tasks to perform and product manuals for detailed instructions. Upcoming maintenance work orders can be sent in real time to the parts and tools department to ensure that materials are ready and waiting when the technician arrives. And when the job is complete, technicians can print a detailed label right on the spot that contains the date, the services that were performed and the next scheduled date of service. Now, maintenance staff is more productive - the same number of engineers can service more equipment per day. And the ability to ensure that equipment is always serviced the right way at the right time improves uptime, protecting productivity, yield, and profitability.
