PM Templates
Reusable Procedures
Build a PM template once — tasks, parts, labor, safety steps, drawings, lockout/tagout — and apply it to many assets. Update the template, every asset's next PM picks up the change.
Preventive Maintenance
Frequency, Meter, and Condition-Based PM with Auto-Generated Work Orders
From Reactive to Predictive — Right-Sized PM
Synesis CMMS Preventive Maintenance moves your operation from reactive to predictive. Define PM templates with tasks, parts, labor, and safety procedures. Schedule by calendar (weekly, monthly, quarterly), by meter (every 500 hours, every 10,000 cycles), or by condition (vibration threshold, oil analysis result). The system auto-generates work orders at the right time, dispatches to the right technicians, and tracks PM compliance against the asset register.
AI-powered predictive maintenance is built in. The system analyzes maintenance history, downtime patterns, work-order outcomes, and sensor data (where available) to identify assets trending toward failure. Predictive PMs are recommended automatically, prioritized by predicted failure window and business impact. Over time the AI gets sharper as it learns from your assets and your operating environment.
Preventive Maintenance Capabilities
Frequency-Based Scheduling
Calendar-Driven
Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual. Shift the next-due date based on completion timing or fixed schedule.
Meter-Based Scheduling
Hours, Cycles, Miles
Trigger PM at every X operating hours, machine cycles, or production units. Meter readings captured automatically from MES or manually from operators.
Condition-Based Scheduling
Sensor & Inspection Driven
Trigger PM when a measured value crosses a threshold — vibration, oil analysis, temperature, pressure. Connect to existing sensor systems or capture during inspections.
AI Predictive Maintenance
Failure Risk Scoring
Machine learning across history, downtime, and sensors identifies assets trending toward failure. Predictive PM recommended automatically, prioritized by impact.
Compliance Tracking
On-Time PM Performance
PM compliance dashboard at site, area, line, and asset level. Visualize on-time, late, missed PMs. Drive accountability with role-based scorecards.
Auto-Generated Work Orders
No Manual Scheduling
PM work orders auto-generated based on the schedule, dispatched to the right technicians, with the right parts pre-reserved and the right safety steps attached.
PM Optimization
Right-Sized Frequencies
AI recommends frequency adjustments based on actual reliability data. Stop over-maintaining low-criticality assets. Stop under-maintaining critical ones.
PM Strategy by Asset Type
Critical Production Assets
Condition-based PM with sensor monitoring + frequency-based safety nets. Predictive AI continuously refines the schedule.
Standard Production Assets
Frequency or meter-based PM driven by manufacturer recommendations and historical reliability data.
Quality-Critical Equipment
Calibration-tied PM cycles linked to Synesis QMS. Out-of-tolerance triggers a quality investigation, not just a recalibration.
Facility & Utility Systems
Calendar-based PM for HVAC, compressed air, water, electrical. Compliance-driven scheduling for safety and regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is preventive maintenance software?
Preventive maintenance software schedules and tracks planned maintenance so equipment is serviced on a defined interval instead of after it breaks. Synesis CMMS preventive maintenance software builds reusable PM templates with step-by-step procedures, parts, and labor estimates, then auto-generates the work order when each PM comes due. Nothing depends on someone remembering to raise the job, and on-time PM compliance is measured rather than assumed.
What is the difference between frequency-based, meter-based, and condition-based PM scheduling?
Frequency-based scheduling triggers a PM on the calendar, such as every 90 days, and suits assets that degrade with time. Meter-based scheduling triggers on accumulated usage such as run hours, cycles, or miles, which is more accurate for equipment whose wear tracks utilization rather than the calendar. Condition-based scheduling triggers on a sensor reading or inspection result crossing a threshold, so work happens only when the asset actually needs it. Synesis CMMS supports all three on the same asset register, so each asset class can use the strategy that fits it.
How does AI predictive maintenance work in the CMMS?
The system scores failure risk from each asset's own history, including work order frequency, downtime events, meter readings, and inspection findings, and surfaces the assets most likely to fail next. That lets maintenance teams move beyond a fixed calendar and right-size PM frequencies, so over-maintained assets stop consuming labor and under-maintained assets get attention before they fail. Predictive scoring supplements the PM schedule rather than replacing it.
Does preventive maintenance scheduling track compliance for audits?
Yes. Every PM carries a due date, a completion record, and the procedure that was followed, so on-time PM performance is reported as a KPI and overdue PMs are escalated rather than quietly slipping. That evidence supports ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and AS9100 audits, where the auditor expects to see that equipment maintenance was planned, performed, and recorded. Calibration and inspection records live in the same platform and link back to the quality system.
