"Revolutionizing Vessel Maintenance with Naviox Planned Maintenance System"
Introduction
In today’s fast-paced maritime landscape, ships must operate with impeccable reliability, compliance, and cost-efficiency. That's where Naviox Planned Maintenance System (PMS) steps in—a powerful, cloud-based, vessel maintenance tool designed to transform how shipping lines manage their fleet.
What Is Naviox PMS?
Naviox PMS is part of the broader Naviox Maritime ERP suite developed by Trigun Infotech in Navi Mumbai. It streamlines the entire maintenance cycle—from scheduling tasks and issuing work orders to defect logging, spare parts tracking, and regulatory compliance, all within a unified platform.
1. Proactive, Automated Scheduling ??
Built for both time-based (e.g., calendar intervals) and counter-based (e.g., engine run-hours) maintenance, Naviox PMS preempts failures by automatically generating job cards. The system reminds onboard engineers of upcoming work and escalates alerts if tasks are overdue.
2. Intelligent Defect Management & Reporting
Crew can log issues in real-time, associating defects with specific equipment. These entries trigger corrective workflows and generate reports for ship and technical management teams, closing the loop efficiently .
3. Spare Parts & Vendor Tracking
Naviox PMS includes a robust inventory module that tracks stock usage and inventory levels. It can trigger automatic requisitions and vendor orders directly from maintenance tasks—bridging maintenance and procurement.
4. Compliance & Audit Ready
Conforming to the ISM Code, Naviox PMS helps ensure audits and surveys are managed smoothly by documenting completed maintenance, report logs, and safety-critical checks. Its seamless record-keeping facilitates both class compliance and internal audits.
5. Operational Visibility & Analytics
Dashboards offer real-time insights into maintenance status across the fleet, overdue jobs, spare part usage, and KPI trends. This intelligence enables decision-makers to optimize downtime, resource allocation, and maintenance windows .
6. Seamless Shore–Ship Integration
Naviox PMS operates both onboard and onshore. Maintenance data syncs over cloud or local server connections, ensuring shore teams have precise snapshots of vessel technical health—crucial for planning dry docks, surveys, and global asset management strategies.
7. Crew & Maintenance Synergy
When integrated with Naviox Crew Management System (CMS), the PMS ensures that the right personnel—with the correct certifications—are assigned to tasks. It improves scheduling accuracy, crew productivity, and legal compliance .
8. Scalable & Customizable for All Vessel Types
Whether it's a tanker, container vessel, tugboat, mega yacht, or offshore rig, Naviox PMS adapts to different ship types, hierarchies, and safety frameworks. Its modular setup allows charterers to deploy only the needed functions, ensuring efficient implementation .
