Has anyone successfully set up a standby x duty PM schedule in D7i? Specifically, I am interested in having the main pump run for 12 weeks on and 2 weeks off, while the back-up pump runs for 2 weeks on and 12 off. This setup ensures continuous operation as the back-up pump takes over during main pump servicing. Additionally, vibration readings work orders should be triggered during this transition.
Incorporating duty and standby maintenance tasks into a CMMS system can provide valuable insights and ensure equipment reliability. Utilizing a multi-level PM approach at the Functional location can allow for separate PMs for duty and standby with vibration checks. Collaboration with IT may be necessary to effectively implement this configuration. Consider three potential options: generating two PM work orders for duty and standby with vibration checks, generating three PM work orders for duty, standby, and vibration checks, or creating one PM work order with three distinct tasks. Evaluate which option aligns best with your PM work order management needs.
Svanels, were you able to accomplish the task successfully?
I've had experience setting up a similar PM schedule in D7i. For the switch between the main and backup pumps, I created two calendars in the system - one for the main pump with a frequency of 12 weeks, and second for the backup pump with a frequency of 2 weeks. Then, you can synchronize their schedules in a way that matches your requirement. Regarding the vibration readings order, I added it as an additional task within the individual PM schedules for both pumps. Just make sure PM schedules are updated accurately whenever there's servicing to ensure a smooth transition.
Yes, I managed to set up a similar PM schedule in D7i at my previous job. It required a little bit of tweaking, not a straight-forward process as such, but ultimately successful. To achieve seamless continuous operation, we had to work around the software a bit by creating staggered schedules for both the main and back-up pumps. Vibration reading work orders were effectively triggered via critical alert settings. I'd recommend getting in touch with D7i's technical support for guidance and to ensure you don't miss any key configuration steps - they were a great help to me.
I haven't set up an exact schedule like that in D7i, but I think your approach makes a lot of sense for maintaining continuous operation. You could use the scheduling feature for the main pump, then create a separate, overlapping schedule for the backup pump to kick in when the main goes offline. For the vibration readings, setting up automated work orders tied to the pump status transitions should be doable—maybe look into creating a custom trigger that activates a work order when the main pump is shifted to the 'off' position. It could really help catch any potential issues before they escalate!

Answer: - To set up a standby and duty pump schedule in D7i, navigate to the scheduling or maintenance section of the software. Input the desired run times for the main pump (e.g., 12 weeks on and 2 weeks off) and the backup pump (e.g., 2 weeks on and 12 weeks off). Ensure that vibration readings and work orders are triggered during pump transition for continuous operation.
Answer: - Having a standby and duty pump schedule ensures continuous operation of the system by alternating between the main pump and backup pump for maintenance and servicing. This setup minimizes downtime and enhances system reliability.
Answer: - In D7i, you can set up triggers for vibration readings and work orders during pump transitions by customizing the maintenance settings. Specify the conditions under which these actions should be triggered, such as when the main pump goes offline and the backup pump starts operating.
Answer: - Yes, the standby and duty pump schedule can be customized in D7i to meet specific operational needs. You can
