Service Cycle

A service cycle is a defined number of machine operating hours (i.e. every 500 hours). Machine maintenance is due at the end of a cycle (i.e. at 500 hours, at 1000 hours at 1500 hours)
Thereby, a Maintenance Task will be created in the DataPortal.

The parameters of a cycle can vary from either fixed (i.e. service is due at 500, 1000 hours regardless of when the service is performed) or floating (i.e. service is due x number of hours from the time the maintenance is performed). A service cycle can be completed manually or by resetting a counter.

When a machine reaches a service cycle, typically:

  1. A Maintenance Service Technician (MST) is requested/sent to perform the service.

  2. Machine health/performance protocols are diagnosed for the service cycle.

  3. The maintenance plan is performed by the MST.
