MxWork by A3J Group, LLC is a mobile application designed to capture information about work performed for IBM Maximo Asset Management. Most production equipment is static; maintenance crews travel to the equipment to perform necessary maintenance activities. Therefore, our maintenance crews have always been mobile technicians. However, until now they haven't had a simple, easy mobile work management solution that pairs with IBM Maximo Asset Management. That’s where MxWork comes in. Technicians can easily download the app onto their favorite device (phone or tablet) and log in to perform and record their work. Safety plans, work instructions, and other pertinent information about the work to be performed is all available at their fingertips. Technicians can record information such as labor time, work logs, and more all while standing in front of the equipment. Information also can be displayed and captured while the device is offline from connectivity. MxWork makes work management easy. All on the go, and all using the authorized IBM Maximo API's.
