Machine Maintenance
Preventive Maintenance Software for Manufacturing
“Mechanical downtime isn’t just a delay in revenue, it’s a profit killer.” That’s a CFO talking. Amtech’s integration with LLumin, a best-of-breed CMMS, keeps converting equipment running at high rates and low costs, preventive, condition-based, and predictive maintenance connected directly to EnCore ERP.
What Is the LLumin Integration?
Amtech’s LLumin integration connects EnCore ERP with LLumin’s computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) so packaging manufacturers can schedule, track, analyze, and act on maintenance from one platform. It supports preventive and predictive task planning, condition-based work orders triggered by vibration, temperature, or runtime, mobile execution with notes and photos, spare parts auto-reserve, MTBF/MTTR tracking, and maintenance cost visibility by asset and GL account, with role-based access for the floor, the office, and remote teams. It works hand-in-hand with EnCore and systems like Fosber.
Uptime Is Everyone’s KPI
For CFOs: maintenance spend you can finally see
- Track maintenance costs by asset and GL account; manage vendors and POs inside the ERP.
- At PhilCorr, the integration eliminated double entry: “Our AP clerk now has 99% accuracy on invoice matching without rekeying any data.”, Jim Vizzard, CFO
Auditability built in: digitized filing deadlines, safety tasks, and compliance records.
For VPs of Operations and Plant Managers: fewer surprises on the floor
- Plan preventive work in production gaps (PhilCorr automates weekend PM scheduling); trigger condition-based work orders before failures stop the line.
- MTBF/MTTR and reliability dashboards make recurring problem assets visible.
- Spare parts visibility with auto-reserve, the part is waiting when the technician arrives.
For Maintenance Teams and Machine Operators: work orders that work
- Mobile work orders: update tasks, log labor hours, attach notes and photos from anywhere in the plant.
- Asset hierarchies with criticality and linked BOMs, tribal knowledge becomes system knowledge.
For Heads of IT: one integration, not another island
- Maintenance data flows through the EnCore integration backbone, no separate silo to support, with role-based access control.

PhilCorr: Uptime as a Business Model
PhilCorr is a customer-owned corrugated sheet feeder in Vineland, NJ, running three shifts with just-in-time delivery and no space for finished-goods inventory, when the corrugator stops, the business stops. After a corrugator upgrade raised capacity 30%, PhilCorr replaced its outdated maintenance system with LLumin integrated to Amtech ERP.

FAQ
What is preventive maintenance software for manufacturing?
It is software that schedules and tracks equipment maintenance before failures occur, using time-based plans and machine-condition triggers, instead of reacting to breakdowns. Amtech delivers this for packaging plants through an integration between EnCore ERP and LLumin’s CMMS.
What is condition-based maintenance?
Work orders triggered automatically by machine performance indicators such as vibration, temperature, or runtime, so intervention happens when the equipment signals it, before failure, and without over-maintaining.
Does the LLumin integration work with corrugator equipment?
Yes. The integration works hand-in-hand with EnCore ERP and systems like Fosber, and PhilCorr runs it across a high-capacity corrugated sheet feeder operation.
Can technicians use it on the floor?
Yes. Mobile work order management lets technicians access tasks, log labor, and attach notes and photos from anywhere, with role-based access for floor, office, and remote users.
How does maintenance connect to the ERP financially?
Maintenance costs track by asset and GL account, vendor management and PO processing run through EnCore, and invoice matching is automated, PhilCorr’s CFO reports 99% AP invoice-matching accuracy without rekeying.
