VOLAX PMS · Planned Maintenance System

Keep every asset running at peak performance.

Class-approved planned maintenance scheduling, execution, and compliance tracking across your entire fleet. Counter, calendar, and condition-based triggers ensure no job is missed — while predictive insights from VOLAX Wavy AI flag emerging issues before they escalate into off-hire.

Why chief engineers choose VOLAX PMS

A PMS that keeps class happy, chief happy, and the office confident.

Most PMS tools were designed for the office and inflicted on the ship. VOLAX PMS was built from the vessel out — the way a second engineer actually works, at the machine, on a tablet, with intermittent connectivity. Counter reads roll into the schedule. Defects raise work orders. Work orders consume spares. Spares deplete inventory. Inventory triggers requisitions. The chain closes itself.

Ten Capabilities

Purpose-built for shipboard maintenance

Work order lifecycle with derived status

Every job carries a lifecycle: raised, planned, in-progress, on-hold, completed, closed. Status is derived from actual task-level state, not user-flipped flags. Closure is gated by counter/calendar reset, spares confirmation, and report submission.

Counter & calendar dual-trigger scheduling

Every job is triggered on running hours, calendar date, or both — whichever comes first. Configurable tolerance windows. Rolling counter reads reconcile against the last confirmed value automatically.

Deep equipment hierarchy

Unlimited component-sub-component depth. Rotating and static equipment classification. Function-code cross-references. Sister-equipment templates propagate maintenance instructions to every vessel with the same OEM plant.

Defect management, wired to jobs

A defect raised on a component auto-suggests the applicable work order template, tracks cost across investigation and repair, carries photo evidence, and links to any resulting Condition of Class.

Class survey planning

Survey items aligned with DNV, Lloyd’s Register, Bureau Veritas, and ClassNK requirements. Continuous Machinery, Continuous Hull, and Special Survey items scheduled with class credit rollover.

Condition-of-Class integration

COC reports raised in VOLAX SHEQ flow to the linked component in PMS. The remedial work order carries the COC reference through completion and class debit.

Global maintenance instructions

Publish an instruction from the office, distributed fleet-wide with version control. Ship-level acknowledgment recorded per rank. Superseded revisions preserved for audit.

Batch fleet updates

Apply a routine change — new inspection interval, added checklist step, updated safety note — across every vessel of a class in a single controlled transaction.

Mobile execution, offline capable

The second engineer works on a tablet at the machine. Every input syncs when the vessel connects; nothing waits on satellite. Signatures, photos, defect notes captured in place.

Predictive maintenance via VOLAX Wavy

Emerging patterns — bearing temperature drift, SFOC creep, alarm frequency — surfaced by the on-vessel AI before the failure. Suggested actions, human decisions.
