Reliability Powered by CMMS Software

Stop Unplanned Stops!

We understand that managing the unforeseeable is hard. Stuff happens. But when operators, quality control, and maintenance work together, the negative impacts can be reduced and overall preventive care can lead to “well-oiled” machines and more predictable outcomes.

Significantly reduce unplanned downtime by engaging operators in maintaining their equipment to detect issues earlier and free up the Maintenance team to focus on preventative maintenance.

It’s better to prevent than fix

With Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) in a box, transfer equipment care to operators and remove the tension between production and maintenance – there’s even a “bat-phone” for when things do go wrong.

The Redzone Reliability module expands the Redzone Connected Workforce Solution into your Maintenance department—functioning as a powerful CMMS software—to further extend the value of continuous productivity improvement.

By delivering maintenance specific tools to better manage regular maintenance work orders, the Maintenance team can spend more time on preventative maintenance (PM), but when combined with a new level of connection with production, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts; with operators performing basic maintenance tasks. These capabilities align with what you’d expect from leading CMMS software, helping maintenance teams focus more on prevention and less on reactive fixes.

The Redzone Reliability module expands your team’s reach by turning on operators’ sense of sight, sound, and smell to identify potential issues before they result in disruptive downtime. When the inevitable unplanned event occurs, instant communication minimizes its impact.

Production Reliability through Operator Equipment Care

Equipment care is no longer just a maintenance responsibility. With Redzone, factories transfer clean, inspect, and lubricate (CIL) tasks to operators – Ultimately, upskilling operators, freeing up maintenance techs, and preventing unplanned downtime. Digital centerlines ensure one right way to setup and operate the line.

Expand your maintenance resources by including operators on the team.

  • Free up your maintenance resources by leveraging
    operators for clean/inspect/lubricate and other minor
    maintenance activities
  • Reduce stoppages and unplanned downtime by
    enabling operators with greater ownership of the
    equipment they use and know
  • Catch potential downtime issues before they happen, by training operators on early defect detection
  • Tune operators’ sight, sound, and smell senses into
    early-warning sensors
  • Communicate potential issues to Maintenance in detail
    with videos to enable more single call repairs

Maintenance Collaboration ​

Remove the barrier between production and maintenance with equipment health reports. The health report allows production and maintenance to dig deeper on key reliability items, including early defect detection (operator senses), service requests, breakdowns, CILs, and PMs. The interactions promote upskilling of production employees in the care of their equipment.

Breakdown Maintenance Calls in Your CMMS Software

While prevention is key, the unplanned inevitably happens. Operators call technicians using ‘Uber for maintenance’ to ensure the right information gets to the right person immediately to minimize downtime. For the first time, plants know exactly when a line stopped, when help was requested, when help arrived, and when the line got back up and running.

Breakdowns happen. Reduce their impact.

  • Reduce lost productivity and frustration with instant
    connection to the Maintenance team
  • Respond more quickly to unavoidable downtime to
    minimize waste and lost production capacity
  • Monitor and evaluate event frequency to influence
    maintenance priority and scheduling

CMMS Software for Reliability and Maintenance Collaboration

The Reliability module completes the connection between the team-of-teams of Production, Quality and Maintenance, to minimize unplanned disruptions and downtime on the shop floor. With everyone working from the same connected workforce solution, the collaboration of the entire Operations team is elevated, and more issues are identified and corrected earlier and proactively because everyone is focused on the same goals. This kind of team alignment is core to what modern CMMS software should facilitate—connecting people, processes, and priorities in real-time.

Typical Outcomes:

  • Sustained, double-digit productivity improvements go right to your bottom line, increasing capacity or lowering costs.
  • Collaborative workforce engagement that dramatically reduces turnover because workers want to Win the Day.
  • Culture of on-going continuous improvement driven by shop floor ownership.

What is CMMS Software?

A Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is a software solution designed to centralize maintenance information, streamline work orders, and ensure equipment uptime through preventive and predictive strategies.

Redzone’s CMMS software goes beyond basic maintenance scheduling by connecting operators, technicians, and maintenance planners in a unified platform. It helps manage assets, reduce downtime, and improve equipment reliability—all while empowering the frontline workforce.

Unlike traditional systems, Redzone combines the core functionality of a computerized maintenance management system with real-time collaboration tools and mobile-first communication to make every maintenance task more proactive and data-driven.

What Makes a Modern CMMS Essential for Today’s Maintenance Teams

Modern CMMS software has evolved beyond simple digital record-keeping. Today’s computerized maintenance management systems serve as centralized platforms for managing every aspect of maintenance, from condition monitoring and inspection scheduling to KPI tracking and documentation. Designed for maintenance planners, schedulers, and technicians, these systems help extend asset life, reduce unplanned downtime, and align maintenance strategy with business goals. Redzone’s CMMS capabilities empower frontline teams with real-time insights, mobile access, and automation to transform maintenance from reactive to predictive, empowering your connected worker strategy.

Predictable Outcomes

Implemented at over 1500 factories around the world, the impact on people, teams, and your business is transformative. Your people learn by doing; so even the most techno-shy individuals will be experts in no time.

  • Teams focused on the vital few things that will move the needle
  • Quick wins for your frontline teams that drive a culture of improvement
  • Sustainable performance improvements that translate into significant cost savings
  • Visibility of individuals who demonstrate leadership for advancement consideration
  • Everyone is working towards the same goal and speaking the same language from the shop floor to the top floor
