Can operators report machine faults without training?

Yes. An operator raises a ticket in a few taps from any device on the shopfloor, tagging the machine, the symptom, a photo and a severity level while still standing at the line. The app is built to be used on the floor, so reporting a fault takes seconds, not a trip to a desk.

Does the app handle both reactive and preventive maintenance?

Yes. Reactive breakdown tickets and planned, recurring preventive jobs share the same queue against the same machines, so the team plans and reacts from one place. Preventive work is scheduled in the app instead of tracked in a separate Excel file.

Can it replace our paper maintenance tickets and Excel logs?

Yes. Arctory replaces paper tickets and spreadsheet logs with a tracked, auditable workflow. Every fault, assignment, response time and repair is captured in one app, so nothing depends on a phone call, a shout across the hall, or a file three people overwrite.

How does a ticket reach the right technician?

Each ticket routes automatically by area, skill and shift, so it lands with the technician who should own it rather than whoever is nearest. The operator only tags the machine, symptom and severity; the app handles the assignment from there.

Is the maintenance history auditable?

Yes. Every fault, assignment, response time and repair is logged with a full audit trail, so preparing for an audit is a search instead of reconstructing events from memory and paper. The same history reveals which machines fail most often without extra reporting work.

Can we see response times and which machines fail most often?

Yes. Because every ticket carries its severity, response time and full history, you can see how quickly faults are handled, and the machines that break down most surface on their own. That gives maintenance the monthly view of recurring failures that phone-and-paper reporting never delivered.

Cut machine downtime with a maintenance app. An operator logs a fault from the line in seconds. It routes to the right technician by area, skill and shift, and preventive work sits in the same queue as breakdowns. Every ticket carries its severity, response time and full history, so the audit is a search.

What this is

Downtime is won or lost in the first few minutes, between the fault and the right person knowing about it. Today that gap is a phone call, a walk across the hall, or a note on paper. Arctory gives maintenance a ticketing app that closes it. An operator raises a fault from the line in a few taps, tagging the machine, the symptom and a severity level. The ticket routes by area, skill and shift to the technician who should own it. Preventive jobs sit in the same queue as the breakdowns. And every fault, response time and repair is logged, ready for the audit and for the monthly look at which machines fail most.

How it works

Step 1. Report a fault from the line. An operator raises a ticket in a few taps while still standing at the machine: what failed, a photo, and how urgent it is on a clear severity scale.
Step 2. Route it to the right technician. The ticket is assigned by area, skill and shift, so it lands with the technician who should own it, not with whoever happens to be nearest.
Step 3. Plan preventive work in the same place. Recurring and preventive jobs share the queue with reactive tickets. Planned maintenance is scheduled against the same machines instead of tracked in a separate file.
Step 4. Keep a history that answers questions. Every fault, assignment, response time and repair is logged. The audit becomes a search, and the machines that fail most often surface on their own.

What you see in the video

The walkthrough shows the app in use: a fault raised from the shopfloor with its severity, the ticket routed to a technician by area and skill, and the repair logged with its response time and full history.

When to use this

Faults are still reported by phone, paper, or a shout across the hall.
You cannot easily see response times or which machines fail most often.
Audits mean reconstructing what happened from memory and paper.
