Why do operations need an application like AMCS Field Services?

AMCS Field Services provides clarity to your field operators and admin staff while improving operational transparency for management.

  1. Shift from reactive to proactive maintenance: AMCS Field Services enables organizations to move from a reactive to a proactive maintenance approach by using condition and risk-based scheduling. This allows organizations to prioritize the highest priority assets and identify maintenance issues before they cause critical failures. By doing so, they can reduce downtime, minimize repair costs, and increase the lifespan of equipment.
  2. Streamline data collection: With AMCS Field Services, organizations can prioritize the right work, automate key actions, and increase operator productivity. The application helps streamline data collection by automating the capture of data from various sources, including equipment sensors, customer feedback, and service technicians. This helps organizations to make data-driven decisions, reduce errors, and improve the efficiency of their operations.
  3. Simplify reporting: Field Services provides organizations with the tools they need to improve data quality, generate insights for management, and reduce non-compliance incidents.

4. Document institutional knowledge: AMCS Field Services can help organizations embed their standard operating procedures (SOPs) into digital workflows. This helps reduce the impact of employee turnover by ensuring that knowledge is retained within the organization, even as personnel changes occur. By doing so, organizations can ensure that they maintain a high level of service quality and consistency.

5. Eliminate repetitive work: Field Services helps organizations prevent rework due to missing information and eliminate manual data entry for administrative staff. By automating repetitive tasks, such as data entry and report generation, organizations can increase the efficiency of their operations and reduce the risk of errors.

6. Break down data silos: Field Services enables organizations to connect machines, sensors, and other systems to create a holistic view of the health of their assets. By breaking down data silos, organizations can gain real-time insights into their operations, identify trends and patterns, and make data-driven decisions. This helps to optimize asset performance, reduce downtime, and increase the efficiency of their operations.
