Products - AKWIRE™ Visual Scheduler

   


  Our AKWIRE™ Visual Scheduler, built on the same AKWIRE™ Foundation can help you streamline your maintenance planning activities. This powerful tool will allow you to visually manage schedules for Preventive Maintenance and existing Work Orders from Maximo®, and other popular Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS). Unlike other scheduling tools, our AKWIRE™ Visual Scheduler is not a general project management tool to manage any type of project, such as a wedding or a construction project. It is specifically designed to manage your Preventive Maintenance, your Work Orders, and your workforce for Maximo®.


Version 2010 - Release - March 2010

We are very execited about the upcoming release of Akwire which will be known as version 2010. This version is the result of the valuable feedback that we get from our customers as we are committed to bringing to you the most advanced planning and scheduling tool for Maximo®

  • Complete redesign of how work orders are handled within the Gantt chart:
    • the work order information is now based on the Assignments in Maximo rather than the work order's Planned Labor information
    • this allows the user to drag individual assignment items on different dates in the Gantt, rather than having to split long work orders - ultimately providing added scheduling flexibility
    • from one menu click, a user can quickly add (or remove) work to an existing work order without having to modify its Planned Labor
    • the ability to copy and paste an item on the Gantt to quickly add new work against a work order; with copied Craft/Hours
    • The ability to see the assignments on the Gantt in a stacked view for easier manipulation
  • Integrated Context Help, capable of displaying How-To videos and examples
  • Manage your schedules; You decide who can view and modify your schedules. You can specify users, groups or sites.
  • New Gantt Layout Editor to customize the look and feel of the Gantt chart
  • New Timeline context menu to help you see what you need - when you need it
  • LDAP support for Maximo version 7 on WebSphere

  • Enhanced printing capability of the Gantt and the Calendar.
  • Enhanced Report paramater capabilities allowing you to filter through large value lists for generating reports
  • New filing options to categorize your schedules when saving or retreiving
