U.S. Marines Select Syclo Mobile Technology For Facilities Maintenance
Mobile Work Manager to be deployed to more than 1,000 technicians at 17 sites in the U.S. and abroad
Hoffman Estates, Ill. – Syclo, a global leader in providing mobile solutions that increase productivity, today announced its mobile software will be deployed to technicians that perform asset maintenance tasks across all of the U.S. Marines' North American bases, in addition to two international sites.
Across industries and throughout the armed forces, Syclo is leading an emerging best practice of equipping skilled technicians with mobile handhelds to better access and capture important asset information to increase efficiency and lower overall operating costs.
The U.S. Marines chose Syclo's mobile technology as part of a move to standardize asset management practices across all of its bases. Previously, each of the bases relied on different software systems for asset management. But in an effort to operate more efficiently and capture reliability-based data about deployed assets, the decision was made to deploy a single enterprise asset management system (EAM) in tandem with mobile.
Syclo's mobile work management solution solves the challenge of communicating valuable data between technicians in the field and the backend EAM system. With the elimination of paper work orders, technicians gain productivity. Inaccurate and time-consuming data entry practices are a process of the past. Furthermore, data is captured at the point of performance, significantly lowering administrative overhead and ensuring accurate data is input into the EAM system.
"The Marines have joined other armed forces, including departments within the Army and Navy, which have worked with Syclo to eliminate paperwork and conduct their daily maintenance using handheld devices," said Richard Padula, Syclo's president and CEO. "With Syclo's mobile work manager, the technicians will now have access to data that will enable them to perform more effectively and increase their first-time fix rates."
In addition to productivity increases and improved technician performance, mobile has a great impact on the way organizations gain benefit from their EAM systems. Because of the exponential increase in data being captured, asset managers are better able to plan preventive maintenance and better execute on predictive or reliability-based maintenance programs, which help improve the working life of assets.
Syclo has delivered EAM solutions to more than 500 customers worldwide. Built on its Agentry mobile platform, Syclo solutions are 100% configurable, run on a variety of handheld devices and work in and out of wireless coverage.
