1. Tag it on the spot
During CILR (Clean, Inspect, Lubricate, Retighten) checks, operators scan the QR code on the equipment, snap a photo, categorize the abnormality, and add a note.
Daily issue management for autonomous maintenance: Let operators own the health of their equipment
Autonomous maintenance tags in LeanSuite let operators flag abnormalities on their own equipment during daily CILR checks, and every tag is tracked until the fix is done.
HOW IT WORKS
From abnormality to fix in three steps
Every abnormality is captured, tracked and resolved with a clear owner.
2. Track it in real-time
Each tag appears on a live AM dashboard straight away, and the Area Lead and Maintenance team are notified automatically.
3. Resolve it with accountability
Assign the fix to the operator or maintenance, set a due date, and track it to completion, building a knowledge base of equipment issues.
AI AND VISUALIZATION
See problem machines and report faster with AI
A live floor plan shows which machines need attention, and Lean AI helps operators describe abnormalities faster.
FLOOR PLAN VISUALIZATION
See which machines have the most open tags
Replace the maintenance whiteboard: upload your facility layout and LeanSuite builds a live equipment health map of open tags on every machine.
LEAN AI IMAGE RECOGNITION
Let Lean AI be your eyes on the floor
Operators snap a photo of a leak or a loose fitting, and Lean AI writes a detailed description, so reports are quick and consistent.
AUTOMATION
Automate your autonomous maintenance workflow
Rules route each tag, set its due date, and cap reassignments, so every abnormality has an owner.
Auto-assignment
Route each tag to the right Area Lead or Maintenance partner based on the equipment and issue type.
Auto due dates
Set due dates for AM tasks automatically from priority, so urgent tags are handled first.
Reassignment tracking
Cap how many times a tag can be reassigned, so it can't bounce between people.
Tag types
An AM tag for every type of abnormality
Sort every abnormality by type for cleaner tracking and analysis, and create custom tags for any process or department.
Sources of contamination
Identify and eliminate sources of dirt, dust, and debris.
Hard-to-access areas
Flag areas that are difficult to clean, inspect, or lubricate.
Leaks
Document oil, air, or water leaks for immediate attention.
Loose fittings & bolts
Flag any loose fasteners or connections during inspections.
A CONNECTED SYSTEM
Turn daily findings into long-term reliability
Autonomous maintenance tags feed straight into your continuous improvement and maintenance work.
Escalate to Kaizen
Same abnormality again? Escalate a recurring problem into a Kaizen or A3 project in one click and fix the root cause.
Trigger professional maintenance
When an operator tags an issue beyond their skill level, a work order can be created in your maintenance system automatically.
Analyze trends
Break tag data down by machine, line, or type to see where to reduce minor stops and prevent major breakdowns.
