Fault reporting for factories: every minute of downtime has a cost
A production line stopped by a controller, the network or a system costs more than any office fault. TixDesk ranks reports by production impact, calls the right technician immediately, links every fault to the equipment and exposes repeat faults before they recur.
Support in factories
Factories run shifts around the clock, and line supervisors report faults by phone or radio. Downtime is not recorded precisely and nobody knows which equipment fails most, so the same faults repeat.
TixDesk records every report with line, equipment and downtime, ranks it by impact and turns repeat faults into problems solved at the root.
Challenges and what TixDesk changes
Typical request types
Example categories, priorities and teams we configure during rollout.
| Request | Category | Usual priority | Team |
|---|---|---|---|
| Production line stopped | Production › Stop | Critical | Maintenance & control |
| Plant network | Network | Critical | Infrastructure |
| Operations system / ERP | Systems | High | Systems |
| Lab device | Hardware | Medium | Maintenance |
| Office computer | Hardware | Low | L1 |

Questions from factories
Does it replace our CMMS?
It focuses on reporting and support linked to assets, and can integrate with an existing maintenance system.
Does it work on an isolated network?
Yes, with on-premise installation.
Does it measure downtime?
Yes, from report to fix, per line and equipment.
Fewer, shorter stoppages
Instant reports, the right technician, history for every machine.
