Autonomous Maintenance.
From Abnormalities to Reliability.
Autonomous Maintenance is where ownership meets reliability.
In many factories, equipment issues are detected too late. Abnormalities go unreported. Operators rely on experience instead of standards. Maintenance reacts instead of preventing.
Solvace brings Autonomous Maintenance into one connected system, empowering operators to detect, document, and address issues early, while supporting maintenance teams with structured, reliable data.
The result: fewer breakdowns, stronger ownership, and equipment that performs as designed.
Why Autonomous Maintenance Struggles to Scale
Most organisations invest in Autonomous Maintenance but struggle to sustain it.
Abnormalities are reported verbally or on paper.
- Standards are unclear or outdated.
- Learning stays local.
- Preventive routines drift over time.
Solvace connects detection, standards, routines, and analysis into one digital flow, so Autonomous Maintenance becomes repeatable, auditable, and scalable.
Autonomous Maintenance Use Cases
Start with the safety challenge that matters most to you.
Each use case works on its own, and becomes more powerful when connected to the wider system.
Defect Tags
(Equipment Abnormalities)
Small abnormalities are often noticed but not recorded. By the time they’re reported, the issue has already escalated into downtime or quality loss.
This use case helps operators easily identify, log, prioritise, and track equipment abnormalities, turning early signals into preventive action.
One Point Lessons
Best practices are often shared verbally or learned through experience. When people change roles or shifts, knowledge is lost.
This use case helps teams capture and share critical equipment knowledge through simple, visual One Point Lessons, including before-and-after standards that reinforce correct conditions.
SOPs & Work Instructions
Best practices are often shared verbally or learned through experience. When people change roles or shifts, knowledge is lost.
This use case helps teams capture and share critical equipment knowledge through simple, visual One Point Lessons, including before-and-after standards that reinforce correct conditions.
CIL (Cleaning, Inspection & Lubrication)
CIL activities are often manual, inconsistent, and difficult to verify. When no CMMS exists, preventive maintenance becomes reactive by default.
This use case structures CIL routines into sequenced operator activities, enabling consistent execution, visibility, and traceability of preventive maintenance tasks.
Centerline Management
Machine and process settings drift over time, especially after changeovers. Without clear standards, deviations go unnoticed until performance drops.
This use case helps standardise and confirm centerline settings during runtime or after changeovers, ensuring processes run within optimal conditions.
5S Audits
5S audits are often performed inconsistently and tracked on paper. Results are hard to compare, and follow-up actions are unclear.
This use case helps teams digitise 5S audits, track results over time, and link findings directly to corrective actions.
Breakdown Analysis
Breakdowns are analysed after the fact, often with incomplete data and limited connection to preventive actions.
This use case helps teams analyse breakdowns systematically, identify causes, and link findings to corrective and preventive measures, reducing repeat failures.
Checklists
Operator checks are frequently performed on paper, making execution hard to verify and deviations difficult to track.
This use case helps teams run digital checklists for equipment-related routines, ensuring checks are completed, deviations are captured, and follow-up is automatic.
Control Tower
Operational Excellence generates a huge amount of knowledge but most of it remains locked inside sites, teams, or tools. Kaizen results, RCAs, incidents, and lessons learned exist, but they’re hard to compare, reuse, or scale.The Control Tower provides a central database of plant records, including Kaizen initiatives, One Point Lessons, Root Cause Analyses, Non-Conformities, and Incidents, enabling learning, benchmarking, and reapplication of effective solutions across all sites.
Instead of reinventing solutions, teams learn from what already works, anywhere in the organisation.
Contractor Portal
Contractor activities introduce additional safety and compliance risks, especially when access is unmanaged or disconnected from internal systems.
This use case manages contractor access to safety-related workflows, enabling contractors to participate directly in incident reporting, audits, projects, and action plans. The result is better traceability, faster problem solving, and stronger safety performance across all sites.
