Frequently Asked Questions
What is Preventive Maintenance (PM) Scheduling?
Preventive Maintenance Scheduling is the process of planning and executing maintenance tasks at regular intervals—such as every 250, 500, or 700 hours—to keep equipment running reliably and avoid unexpected breakdowns. GroundHog’s CMMS automates this scheduling based on real-time data.
How does GroundHog’s CMMS help with PM scheduling?
GroundHog’s CMMS automatically tracks engine hours, usage metrics, and calendar dates to trigger PM tasks. It assigns these tasks to technicians, ensures parts availability, and logs every service in your maintenance history—keeping your fleet in peak condition.
Can I customize PM intervals for different machines?
Yes. You can configure maintenance schedules based on engine hours, days, distance, fuel usage, or any custom meter reading—making it ideal for mixed fleets across open-pit and underground operations.
Do technicians receive PM tasks on their mobile app?
Absolutely. Technicians can view, complete, and document PM tasks using GroundHog’s mobile-first CMMS—even while offline. The app includes checklists, images, and service history to ensure accuracy in the field.
Will I get alerts for upcoming PM tasks?
Yes. GroundHog sends automated alerts to planners and technicians when a PM service is approaching. You can also view upcoming tasks in dashboards or generate reports for better planning.
How is PM scheduling connected to other maintenance activities?
PM schedules are tightly integrated with work orders, parts inventory, and telemetry. When a PM task is triggered, the system automatically checks for required parts and assigns a technician—reducing administrative work and downtime.
Can PM scheduling reduce unplanned downtime?
Definitely. By proactively servicing equipment based on real-world usage data, you minimize the risk of unexpected failures—resulting in higher uptime, fewer emergency repairs, and longer equipment life.
