Technical data always at your fingertips
Successful plant and plant maintenance is based on predefined processes and maintenance plans where the vast majority of maintenance tasks are performed proactively. This improves safety and results in increased productivity through higher uptime.
Unfortunately, only a small proportion of installations can achieve this goal because most maintenance teams do not have access to accurate master data. Important data related to various locations and specific equipment is often missing or inaccurate. Moreover, other critical documents such as bills of material (BOM) and drawings are usually not linked to technical data and are not readily available. Moreover, collecting technical data within the organisation is very challenging and often becomes impossible without sophisticated tools, especially when it comes to data from external maintenance partners.
Familiar environment on any device
M-Files enables the collection of technical data both internally and from partners using simple forms that anyone can use without training. Employees and partners access it through a familiar and efficient native Windows client that supports caching and offline access for improved performance and reliability. This also works in low-bandwidth or even offline environments. Users can access the system as with My Documents or My Computer in Windows, but faster and more securely. The system is also accessible via standard web browsers or mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets with support for the most popular platforms, including iOS, Android and Windows.
Complete integration on-premise, in the cloud or hybrid
M-Files Asset Management is available as both on-premises software deployment based on proven Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server technology, and robust and scalable cloud services on Microsoft Azure. In addition, M-Files supports hybrid deployments where data can be stored both on-premises and in the cloud. In addition, it offers a variety of options that allow organisations to maximise existing investments in on-premises software and equipment while leveraging the cloud to meet changing and emerging needs and opportunities.
M-Files can connect to virtually any database or system via ODBC or OLE DB drivers or via web services. In addition, integrations with a wide range of popular systems are already available, including SAP and Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Salesforce CRM and NetSuite.
Asset management functionalities
Most dedicated asset management systems and asset modules within ERP systems do not have modern document management capabilities. It is possible to easily connect M-Files to these systems and link important maintenance documents to equipment and functional location data.
Let M-Files work together with systems such as IBM Maximo or SAP PM. The result is that users navigate directly from the user interface of the existing asset management system to the associated documents without having to learn a new system.
Manage documents like never before.
