PM & Failure Code Registry
The PM & Failure Code Registry seamlessly links failure codes to preventive maintenance (PM) tasks, completing the reliability loop. This integration directly ties PM efforts to the most common failures, enabling EAM and CMMS users to enhance reliability proactively.
Featuring a pre-built, ISO-compliant library of problem-failure and reliability event codes, paired with a comprehensive PM inspection registry, it’s designed to slash development time and boost asset performance from day one.

PM & Failure Code Registry Features:
- Proactive Reliability: Connects failure codes (e.g., cavitation in pumps) to PM tasks (e.g., vibration monitoring) to prevent recurring issues and reduce downtime.
- Rapid Deployment: A ready-to-use solution reduces development time by up to 80%, enabling you to enhance reliability more quickly.
- Industry Standard: Aligned with ISO 14224:2016 for consistent, reliable maintenance data collection.
- Cost Savings: Reduce repair costs with early detection and standardized, integrable coding for systems such as Maximo, SAP, Oracle, and more.
- Data-Driven Decisions: Leverage over 79,000 codes and 200,000+ failure relationships for trend analysis, KPI reporting, and capital planning.

How It Works
The PM & Failure Code Registry categorizes codes into Symptoms, Problems, Failures, Actions, and Causes, tailored for specific equipment classes. Each failure code (e.g., bearing failure in motors) is paired with a PM plan (e.g., lubrication checks) to refine schedules and eliminate issues. This closed-loop approach, built on ISO standards, ensures actionable insights and optimized maintenance strategies.
Know your equipment: past, present, and future.
Utilize Problem-Failure Codes to access precise information about where problems originate and which components fail. Roll this data up by cost and frequency. Leverage this information to reduce unplanned equipment downtime.
Identify
Know what happened. Gain vital insights into corrective maintenance activities. Zero in on asset failures based on equipment class, problem, and failure reason.
Report
Know how much it costs in time and money. Discover which action was taken, how frequently, and at what cost.
Predict
Know when it will happen again. Using the asset’s work history record, accurately determine the optimum maintenance schedule.
