Industrial machinery is here: running hours and preventive maintenance contracts
A new category for industrial maintenance companies: nine machine types, the hour meter history, where each machine sits in the customer's plant, and contracts that remind you by date or by hours, whichever comes first.
Until now Sattotal covered four worlds: IT and phones, consumer electronics, home appliances and e-mobility. From today there is a fifth: industrial machinery. It is built for those who maintain machines on the customer's shop floor, where what matters is not the purchase date but how many hours the machine has run, and where the real business is maintenance contracts.
What's new
Nine machine types
Compressor, generator, forklift, machine tool, welder, pump, electric motor, control panel and generic industrial machinery, each with its own icon, colour and nameplate data: power, voltage, maximum pressure, load capacity, fuel or year of manufacture.
An intake that fits
No password or BIOS questions. It asks what matters on a machine (oil or air leaks, unusual noise, emergency stop, whether it reaches pressure) and the receipt lists the risks that come with it: production downtime, residual energy, wear parts and fluid leaks. Plus twenty-one new fault causes, from bearings to the CNC.
Running hours
Each machine keeps the history of its hour meter readings with their date and source: at workshop intake, when a visit is completed, or entered by hand. If a reading is lower than the previous one, Sattotal warns you but still saves it.
Location in the plant
“Building 2 · Line 3”: where each machine sits within the customer's premises, so the technician finds it first time. It appears on the record, the visit and the work order.
And the most awaited part: preventive maintenance contracts. In a contract you pick a customer's machines and how often each is serviced: every so many months, every so many hours, or whichever comes first. Sattotal works out when each one is due from today's date and the latest meter reading, so the status never goes stale.
One service, start to finish

The category is optional: nothing changes for anyone who does not switch it on. You can tick it when creating your account, under “What do you work with?”, or at any time from Settings → Device categories. Maintenance contracts are included in the paid plans.
Try it in the demo: it includes an industrial customer with a compressor, a forklift and a generator, their running hours and a contract with one machine overdue, one due soon and one up to date. The help centre has the full guide to maintenance contracts.
