Maintenance software for agribusiness
Agribusiness asset maintenance connected to SAP PM: notification with photo, measuring point reading and confirmation on the phone, online or offline, with everything synced to SAP.
What is maintenance software for agribusiness
It is the system that organizes the maintenance of an agro-industrial plant's assets (process, extraction, packaging, utilities and assets scattered across the site) and takes execution to the field. PM Run does this connected to SAP PM: notification, photo, measuring point reading and confirmation on the phone, with the data going up to SAP, which remains the central record.
Free tools for the off-season and the harvest
For planners who run the off-season window and the harvest backlog in spreadsheets: a window planning guide, a checklist template and the backlog formula.
When the spreadsheet can no longer keep up with the harvest
The guide and the checklist organize the window. These signs show when the problem becomes the path of the record back to SAP PM.
- The off-season list lives in a spreadsheet separate from SAPWhen the harvest starts, nobody knows for sure which window orders were closed in SAP and which were only crossed off the spreadsheet.
- During the harvest, corrective work takes the crew and preventive work slips to the next weekThe queue grows without planning seeing how many hours are piling up against each shift's capacity.
- The equipment condition is written on paper, far from the assetThe notification reaches SAP hours later, without a photo, and planning decides without seeing what the technician saw.
- Round readings are copied into a spreadsheet back at the officeA reading out of range only becomes a notification after someone types up the sheet.
With PM Run, the record starts at the asset and reaches SAP PM
The technician identifies the asset by QR Code, opens the notification with a photo and enters the measuring point reading, even offline. A reading outside the limit requires a notification. In the portal, planning schedules the orders on the Gantt against each shift's capacity and creates the official schedule integrated with SAP.
What PM Run delivers in agribusiness
Notification with photo at the equipment
The team identifies the asset by QR Code, hierarchy or list and opens the notification on the spot, with the photo going up to SAP on confirmation.
Measuring point reading
Readings by equipment or location. A value outside the limit requires the technician to record a notification for planning.
Voice input for the title
The title field of notifications and orders accepts voice commands, which speeds up recording in the field.
Chat between app and portal
Text messages between people in the field using the app and people in the portal, instead of loose radio messages.
Scheduling against capacity
In the portal, planning schedules orders on the Gantt with shifts, absences and the capacity of each work center.
Online and offline execution
At points with no signal, the technician works offline and PM Run syncs the information with SAP once back on the network.
The measuring point reading at the asset itself
This is how an equipment's measuring points appear in the app during a round.
- Asset identified on siteThe equipment is identified by QR Code or NFC, like the air compressor on the screen.
- Search by point or equipmentThe technician finds the point by its code, the equipment number or the description.
- Routes, points, entry and historyThe tabs separate routes, points, reading entry and history.
- Last value and statusEach point shows the last value read and the OK status.
Agribusiness maintenance without and with PM Run
| Routine on site | Paper and SAP in the GUI | With PM Run |
|---|---|---|
| Recording asset condition | Written on paper, far from the equipment | Notification with photo at the equipment |
| Measurement reading | Spreadsheet, retyped later | Measurement document in the app, at the asset |
| Off-season window | List in a spreadsheet apart from SAP | Orders scheduled on the Gantt and released in SAP |
| Communication between teams | Radio and loose messages | Chat between the app and the portal |
| Asset in an area with no signal | Waits to come back to record | Offline app, syncs on return |
| Centralization in SAP | Manual retyping, scattered data | Integrates into SAP PM, validated in the Integration Log |
Citrosuco: notes and photos on the order, straight from the phone
Frequently asked questions
Is PM Run suitable for agribusiness?
Yes. Citrosuco, one of the largest orange juice exporters in the world, uses PM Run on top of SAP PM: technicians record notes and photos directly on the work order from their phones, with automatic sync to SAP PM.
Does PM Run replace SAP in agribusiness?
No. PM Run is the execution and mobility layer on top of SAP PM. SAP remains the central record of assets, orders and notifications. PM Run takes execution to the field and returns everything to SAP.
Does PM Run work with assets spread across the site?
Yes. The technician identifies the asset by QR Code, hierarchy or list, records the measuring point reading by equipment or location and works offline at points with no signal, with the app syncing once back on the network.
How does an equipment reading reach SAP?
The technician identifies the asset and enters the reading at the measuring point in the app. The measurement document goes up to SAP PM on sync. If the value falls outside the registered limit, the app requires a notification, which reaches planning.
What result has PM Run already delivered in agribusiness?
In the Citrosuco case, the project reached a work order confirmation rate above 95%, with greater control and visibility over critical maintenance.
Is there a free off-season maintenance planning guide?
Yes. PM Run offers a guide to plan off-season maintenance around the real operating window, with scope, capacity, safety, critical path, release criteria and a checklist to review before the window opens.
When should the off-season spreadsheet be replaced with software?
When the problem is no longer listing what to do but tracking what was done: orders crossed off the spreadsheet but never closed in SAP, a harvest queue with no count of hours against capacity and readings retyped at the office. At that point, software schedules orders against capacity and takes the field record straight to SAP PM.
