The real hurdles of CMMS migration
Most UK manufacturers juggle multiple shifts, dozens of machines and a tight budget. They also face:
- Fragmented data locked in old CMMS, paper notes or your engineer’s head.
- Inconsistent naming rules for assets and tasks.
- Scepticism around yet another “IT project” that never sticks.
- Pressure to reduce downtime, not ramp it up with a botched go-live.
Data collection: laying the groundwork
You need a clear asset register. That means walking the shop floor. Tagging machines. Verifying serial numbers. Many teams skip this and regret it later. iMaintain’s experts roll up their sleeves. We document every pump, conveyor and press. Then we capture preventive maintenance schedules. No one is left wondering what lives where.
Data cleansing and standardisation: quality first
Garbage in, garbage out. Jokes aside, poor data means missed work orders and repeat failures. iMaintain applies international best practices. We align your records with global maintenance standards. The result? A solid foundation for reporting, analytics and AI-driven insights.
Data conversion: from legacy to modern
Converting spreadsheets or outdated CMMS exports can break your system. iMaintain offers step-by-step data migration. We extract, map and import:
- Asset hierarchies
- PM tasks and schedules
- Historical work orders
All tested in a sandbox first. Then we fine-tune until it’s rock solid.
Integration services: beyond the CMMS
Your production line is more than a database. PLCs, SCADA and ERP systems all talk in different tongues. iMaintain bridges them. We feed condition data from sensors into your CMMS. We sync parts and procurement between SAP or Oracle. You get a unified view. No more manual transfers or costly delays.
Validation and specification development: compliance covered
In regulated sectors, you need Computer System Validation. That’s where we step in with documented proof of performance. We craft functional and technical specs. You get audit trails, electronic records and eSignature options. It all aligns with FDA and EMA guidelines. You tick every compliance box without stress.
