Forgotten PM
Preventive tasks are forgotten or delayed, increasing unexpected failures and costly emergency repairs.

Prepare every PM with its procedure, planned parts, owner, and timing. Keep the completed record with the asset to improve the next job.
The Challenge
Missed preventive maintenance puts production at risk
[02]
No Accountability Chain
Without clear ownership, maintenance requests are delayed, disrupting production.
[03]
Hard To Measure Performance
Without centralized schedules and reporting, it's difficult to understand asset health or maintenance performance.
[04]
Scattered Requests
Maintenance requests disappear across emails, calls, and paper forms, delaying response times.
The solution
Build preventive maintenance that improves over time
[Automate]
Turn every trigger into scheduled work
From recurring schedules to condition signals, Canary creates the job and recommends when to do it.
- Set the trigger by time, runtime, meter reading, or condition.
- Generate the work order with its asset, priority, and due date.
- Schedule the job around team capacity and asset availability.
[Execute]
Guide every PM step by step
Give technicians a consistent job and capture a useful result.
- Match controlled procedures to the correct asset or location.
- Guide the work with required checks and stop-work criteria.
- Capture the result: readings, notes, photos, parts used, and final status.
[Improve]
Use every result to improve the next PM
Completed work becomes evidence for better maintenance decisions.
- Measure PM compliance, overdue work, and completion time.
- Find recurring problems and slow-to-complete jobs.
- Adjust intervals, procedures, and planned parts based on results.
Core capabilities
Make every PM ready, repeatable, and measurable.
Recurring schedules
Set calendar, runtime, or condition-based intervals for recurring work.
Meter-based maintenance
Let floor readings trigger service at the right meter value.
Automatic work orders
Create and assign work automatically when each PM is due.
Procedure library
Build once, control revisions, and apply procedures to the right assets.
PM compliance
See what was completed on time, what slipped, and where.
Repeat-failure analysis
Find recurring failures and adjust intervals, procedures, or planned parts.
We used to lose hours tracking down parts across spreadsheets and storerooms. Canary gave us real-time visibility into every part, every location. Stockouts dropped, carrying costs fell, and our technicians finally have what they need when they need it.
