The importance of maintenance is often not properly assessed. The focus is often primarily on the costs of maintenance – but maintenance is more than that, it is a strategic success factor. Around half of production costs are directly or indirectly influenced by successful maintenance management. Improvements in reliability and performance as well as stability of the production process are the results that can be achieved here.
With the Legato Sapient TPM software from Germanedge, you have the perfect tool in your hand to optimize your maintenance and increase efficiency in your company, because you can keep your downtimes to a minimum and demonstrably reduce costs.
Our TPM is used for the central management and implementation of all maintenance processes across all areas (Shopfloor, Facility Management, etc.). We would like to explain the most important functions in more detail below.
Germanedge’s TMP system ensures that you can organize and efficiently manage all maintenance activities (such as material, personnel, time, duration, activities). You can schedule the various maintenance times required, taking into account the production situation (delivery reliability, alternative resources, synchronized maintenance within an area).
It is also possible to list all maintenance activities for a maintenance order and coordinate their execution.
Our maintenance software helps you to ensure flawless operation in your company on the basis of supplier specifications. By knowing the best possible maintenance time (condition-based maintenance) and the activities to be carried out (maintenance duration), it is possible to make a precise statement about the time and duration of maintenance for a resource. This helps when scheduling production orders in order to avoid conflicts caused by unavailable resources and to maintain production using alternative resources.
You can use the TPM software to evaluate current and historical data, such as reasons for faults or specific events. This analysis enables you to make predictions about wear and tear or machine downtime in order to prevent malfunctions. This allows your production to run more smoothly. Real-time monitoring of systems also supports the maintenance process. This means that the maintenance technician is also actively notified of unscheduled maintenance (unplanned maintenance and repairs in the event of sudden malfunctions) in order to shorten response times and thus reduce downtimes.
The recording and archiving of all maintenance information serves, among other things, as proof of compliance with the system supplier’s maintenance regulations (warranty) and as a basis for the continuous improvement process (CIP).
All documents relevant to maintenance are linked to a maintenance plan and are therefore automatically available to the maintenance personnel when the maintenance order is carried out.

In general, the TPM solution can also be launched without a machine connection. In this case, the maintenance orders can only be triggered via time intervals
TPM stands for Total Productive Maintenance.
TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) is a comprehensive production and maintenance system that aims to maximize the efficiency of machines and systems, minimize downtime and improve product quality. TPM integrates maintenance into the daily production process and promotes cooperation between the various departments of a company. It is based on preventive and predictive maintenance in which all employees are actively involved in order to achieve continuous improvement of production processes.
The use of TPM can lead to the following positive effects in a company:
A company can benefit from TPM by:
The advantages of TPM are
The main objectives of TPM are
TPM is based on eight pillars, which are regarded as the cornerstones for implementing the system:
TPM is based on the following prerequisites:
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is a key performance indicator that is often used in connection with TPM. OEE measures the efficiency of a machine or system based on three factors: availability, performance and quality. TPM aims to maximize OEE through preventive maintenance, training and continuous improvement measures. Through TPM, companies can identify the causes of inefficiencies and take action to increase OEE, which in turn leads to better utilization of production capacity and higher profitability.
The ability to automatically record production data (machine downtimes, process parameters, etc.) provides high-quality data in near real time. In addition to the important production indicator OEE, there are other key performance indicators specifically for maintenance to assess production efficiency – such as
