Build Your Plant

PMPlanR™ (pronounced “PM-Planer”) is a robust standalone Preventative Maintenance Planning Software Application from Sterling Systems & Controls, Inc.. PMPlanR allows you to “Build Your Plant”. Within each Plant you can enter all Equipment Components (Areas or Machines) and Assets that should be monitored.

Each Plant that is set up can be divided into Areas and Machines. A Plant, Area and Machine are all “Categories”. A Plant Category can have multiple Area Categories that pertain to a specific process or production area. Within each Area Category are Machine Categories that build a production process. Assets are categorized under Plants, Areas and/or Machines. Plant, Area and Machine categories are used to help organize Assets, each Asset being able to be defined with a name and vendor part number.

PMPlanR preventative maintenance planning software can be installed on any Windows 7 or 10 operating system. Accessing or signing into the PMPlanR software requires you to have a username and password, all set up in the Security Manager section of the software. The three primary areas of interest for users of the PMPlanR software are Plant Builder, Part Vendor, Service Tags, Preventative Maintenance & Work Orders and History Reports. Other sections include System Parameters, Security Manager and PLC Communications.

Plant Builder

  • A Plant is identified graphically using a unique icon. Each Plant is given a name and address location to help identify the Plant. The Plant icon is in the tree view on the left side of the Plant Builder Screen. Multiple Plants can be created, each containing Areas, Machines and Assets.

  • An Area uses a unique icon. Each Area is given a name to help identify it. An Area must be inside a Plant. Multiple Areas can exist in a Plant that usually defines a department within the Plant. The Area icon is shown in the Tree View on the left side of the Plant Builder Screen under the Plant icon.

  • Each Machine, such as a bulk bag unloading system or batching system, is given a name to help identify the Machine and must be created under an Area. Each machine can have several Parts or Assets that perform specific tasks. Multiple Machines can be contained within a single Area.

  • Assets are resources owned by a Category (Plant, Area or Machine) that performs a specific function. Each Asset is given a name and vendor part number. Multiple Assets can be created for each Plant, Area and Machine Category.
