CMM breaks boundaries
Latest version of Shire Systems’ Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) removes geographical boundaries to deliver full multi-site CMM using a GPRS Smartphone or Pocket PC. FrontLine On The Move 2.10.5.2 frees engineers from the limits imposed by communicating via Local Area Networks to provide nationwide, or even worldwide, communication.
The previous LAN-based version allowed engineers to move freely around a single site and to communicate with FrontLine wirelessly, or via a USB or serial cradle attached to a LAN, but with wireless communication viable at no more than about 300m from the nearest LAN receiver.
The new version breaks down these boundaries: engineers can communicate with FrontLine modules for maintenance management, work requests, stock control, and remote meter reading, via a GPRS Smartphone or Pocket PC. It uses customers’ existing mobile data contracts to deliver true multi-site communication for remote maintenance management for little more than the price of a text message.
