Verifying technician accountability and ensuring that all required maintenance steps are completed can be difficult, leading to compromised safety and increased operational costs. The lack of real-time visibility into maintenance activities further compounds these issues, hindering proactive management and timely intervention.
Challenges such as verifying inspection completion (Yes/No), ensuring sufficient time spent on inspections (Yes/No), identifying maintenance operators and time-stamping their actions, storing critical information within the RFID tag for immediate retrieval, providing proof of presence and providing proof of time spent on maintenance and checks carried out (via App), along with preventing tool loss and overcoming the inefficiencies of paper-based systems are common pain points.
Ensuring Compliance and Efficiency: Implementing RFID in Elevator Maintenance
Implementing RFID technology provides a robust and efficient solution to these challenges. By tagging maintenance tools, checklists, key inspection points and the elevators themselves with durable RFID tags, a comprehensive tracking process is established.
Technicians equipped with mobile RFID readers can seamlessly scan the elevator’s RFID tag, tagged tools, inspection points, logging their presence and time-stamping each action. Scanning the elevator’s tag upon arrival and departure allows for precise tracking of technician time spent on each specific elevator and ensures that maintenance is being performed on the correct asset. This process automatically verifies that all required maintenance steps have been performed, providing time-stamped proof of completion.  Additionally, it records if an inspection was done (Yes/No) and if the time spent on the inspection was sufficient (Yes/No).
The data is then seamlessly integrated with a mobile application, eliminating manual data entry and reducing the potential for human error. Critical maintenance data, including the elevator’s service history, operator identification and time stamps can be stored directly on the RFID tags. This allows for immediate retrieval via mobile devices, even in areas with limited connectivity.Â
Using HID Securitas HF/NFC packaged printed tags alongside a mobile app allows for instant tool identification, proof of presence, seamless inspection confirmation and precise elevator-specific tracking. This also provides proof of time spent on maintenance and of checks carried out via the App.
By automating maintenance tracking and eliminating manual errors, RFID technology transforms elevator maintenance, ensuring compliance, reducing costs, and improving operational efficiency.
