This Tips are for Report configuration on MEX 12.x Region. When you setup Company Details on MEX 12.x ( Control Files > Company Details Tab ) then the Report for all Sites will be the same. Example : User A from Site 1 creating Purchase Order. User B from Site 2 also creating Purchase Order. Company Details Tab was setup with Site 1 complete address When you print out the Purchase Order Report then both users get the same address on that Report which is Site 1 complete address. Tips : If you want to get different address for both Sites then you have to go to Control Files > Administration Functions > Security Users > Set Regions Create New Region Fill in Name and Description for your New Region (see Region Details Picture) Fill in details information of your Region  

As usual on MEX Security you have to create a Security Group first then give a different access for every group. Once you you were ready, then you can setup the security easily in MEX v12.x. Why the setup so easily ?? Because right now, you can see every single Form or Report in MEX v12.x and you can set on the security for : an entire screen an individual control on a screen an entire report an individual control on a report

As i say before that MEX v12.x have a lot of features. One of that features are Active check box that will remove your data from MEX v12.x without deleting the data itself. Your data still there and save. You can get your data back into the system by click it on Include Inactive button. So, if don't need your data from the system and not sure yet, just un-ticked the Active button. That button could aware you awhile before deleting data from the system.

Is there anyone know Maintenance Button on MEX v12.x ?? Yup .... that's correct, that button was on Stores Module (sorry for users that doesn't have Stores Module). That button was provide to get back to the Main Menu of MEX v12.x directly.

MEX has coming with Region Module since version 11.x and it only appear for SQL version not for Access version. It means that if you had MEX v11.x with Microsoft Access version then you can not feel the Region Module functionality. This functionality is to share one database for every site that your company have it. Example : if your company having 2 different sites so you don't have to get 2 different databases or MEX . With MEX SQL version and Region you have one database and you could share that database with the other site. (see that picture above), Administrator could see both Site from the database but users on Site 1 only can see their Assets under Site 1 the same like Site 2. It doesn't mater if you have more than 2 Sites. Right now MEX has eliminate the Access version in MEX 12.x so the option when you buy MEX 12 is with Region or without Region. And it came with a lot of great feature too.

The next generation of CMMS has arrived! Pirana is the revolutionary browser-based system for the integrated management of maintenance, materials, services and more.

Whatever the size of your organisation – micro-small to mega-multinational – Pirana can fit your needs like a glove. Internet, intranet and mobile phone deployment means you can access your system from anywhere. Pirana is the engineering and service manager’s essential tool for getting the job done. It provides the framework to transform operational and business performance. You can increase efficiency, regulatory compliance and safety, product and service quality, customer satisfaction and crew morale – and, accordingly, business profitability and your own personal success. Read the Story of Pirana . The information drill-down and performance reporting capability of Pirana is astonishing. Pirana can

Switch on and get going! The system works straightaway. As with a new car, you could jump in and drive off without studying the manual – finding your way around as you go and leaving the adjustment of mirrors, seats and other stuff until later. You could and you can, but it’s much better to invest a little time familiarising yourself with the controls and tweaking the adjustments – then you can really get your foot down and go!

User-friendly Pirana promises instant attraction for individuals new to CMMS. Equally, the fresh look and feel of Pirana’s lightweight, information-at-a-glance interface makes CMMS old-hands drool. Packed with appeal, Pirana’s tree views, quick links and graphical presentation of data guarantee user delight. The easy-to-pick-up system combines ultimate simplicity with amazing flexibility. You can customise Pirana to suit your own needs, renaming and creating new data fields – and even changing the preferred language. CMMS life just doesn’t get easier than this. You can’t get a more simple to use CMMS than Pirana! User-centred, goal-oriented A frequent complaint about computerised maintenance systems is that they force you to work in a way you don’t want. Not Pirana! It’s totally user and goal-oriented. Pirana won’t put you in a straightjacket; it works the way you want it to work, facilitating what you want to achieve. For example, besides managing ‘assets’, you can also choose t

A frequent complaint about computerised maintenance systems is that they force you to work in a way you don’t want. Not Pirana! It’s totally user and goal-oriented. Pirana won’t put you in a straightjacket; it works the way you want it to work, facilitating what you want to achieve. For example, besides managing ‘assets’, you can also choose to drive your system using ‘contacts’ – persons or organisations requesting or carrying out planned and ad hoc tasks. Now, how different is that? The basic system does just what the vast majority of CMMS users want it to do – and no more. Pirana’s ultimate simplicity means there’s no unwanted complications to baffle you or get in the way. When your needs are more demanding, however, you can add more functionality with Pirana’s simple, power-packed, plug-and-play add-ons.

Pirana is designed with simple components you can individually select and click together – just like the ubiquitous toy bricks from that well-known Danish company, Lego. You can build your CMMS the way you want – make it as big or as small as you want, the shape you want and you can embellish it to suit yourself. Like those bricks, Pirana is intuitive and rewarding for everyone, no matter what their CMMS proficiency. You can pick it up and use it with a smile – Pirana does what you expect, it’s forgiving and it’s fun to use. Pirana CMMS is child’s play. Everyone’s a fan of those bricks – do you know anybody who’s handled them that doesn’t think they’re delightful? It’s like that with Pirana!

Access Pirana instantly from your network, or anywhere in the World, using the web browser of your choice. Pirana’s small footprint and one click installation belie the system’s astonishing ability for global reach. From one to one thousand users, and from New York to New Delhi, working with Pirana is quick and effortless for everyone logging in. Smaller organisations can opt for a stand-alone PC or a small office Workgroup, with or without web or network access. Deployable to the Internet, intranets and mobile phones, Pirana gives true access from anywhere. No matter where you happen to be at the time and wherever your workplaces and assets are located, you and other authorised individuals can access the system to add or extract information: raise a Work Request; check on what’s happening; download a report; whatever. It’s a small world with Pirana. Have your finger always on the pulse; do your planning in the comfort of your own home; even take your work on holiday!

Pirana’s powerful Work Scheduler graphically displays tasks of all origins in one place. Planned maintenance, corrective and other tasks are all visible from the Work Scheduler – and you can project the timeline indefinitely into the future or past. Work Scheduler’s interface resembles Microsoft’s hugely popular Outlook calendar – yet gives you the ability to do a whole lot more. The Work Scheduler aids fast response to rapidly changing circumstances, supporting you in making the best-informed decisions on human resourcing and work prioritisation. Success is in the bag.

Pirana is a dynamic, web application founded on Microsoft .NET architecture. This jaw-dropping technology allows Pirana to communicate seamlessly across different platforms and operating systems. Furthermore, Pirana utilises the latest SQL database – the promise of ultra-powerful searches, blisteringly fast data processing and sublimely informative reports. * Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is included free of charge. If required, Pirana can make use of an existing SQL Server 2005 database. See Shire’s recommended hardware specification for further details.

Pirana is totally brand new and state-of-the-art. Some other CMMS providers have taken a short-cut to Internet-deployable systems by adding ‘wrapper’ code to old, so-called ‘legacy’ code hacked from an out-dated system. This can make for a clunky feel, operational inefficiencies and poor security. Silk purse and sow’s ear don’t nearly convey the quality of the outcome of this Heath Robinson mishmash. “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig” – Senator Barack Obama’s quipped during the run up to his election as President; that remark is very fitting here. You’re the buyer, so do beware! Pirana has no second-hand donor parts duck-taped in; none of Pirana’s bits have been salvaged from systems better off on the scrapheap. And ‘new’ doesn’t mean unproven reliability. Pirana has Brawn Formula One reliability thanks to its intensive test bed and track testing – and of course its pedigree.

Target setting and performance monitoring are the prerequisites of effective control. With Pirana, you can enter across-the-board performance targets for all maintenance activities and the system will then automatically measure and report current achievement against them. By taking definitive action in the light of adverse or positive trends, you can gain better control and drive continuous improvement. Pirana makes this otherwise complicated process as straightforward as can be. Using Pirana’s vivid, interactive Dashboard and Scoreboard displays, you can view all your selected performance indicators – and any other information you want to see – at a glance. Mix and match performance indicators as you like and configure the visual display to suit yourself. It’s easy. To achieve business objectives – and your own personal goals – you have to plan, monitor and control maintenance activities. To facilitate these crucial tasks, a performance management framework is a necessity – Pira

With Pirana’s Dashboard view, it’s easy to track current performance quickly and accurately; you know in an instant where you’re at. A summary display of key maintenance information enables you to grasp the overall situation at a glance: Overdue Work, Today’s Work, Critical Parts to Re-order and so on. And, with a simple click, you can drill down to see the underlying trends. Each user can choose the precise information they have to monitor on-screen to pursue and attain personal targets and organisational objectives. The Dashboard is easily configurable and can be filtered by Client, Department, Engineer, Asset and Location. The Dashboard is all about today’s work, arising events and actions – your To-Do list. It’s your main workspace because every new action, achievement and increment of progress happens in the here and now; on the day, by the hour, exploiting the moment. Customising your own visual dashboard display of performance indicators, you can set a RAG traffic lig

Pirana’s Scoreboard compliments the Dashboard. You can use the Scoreboard to display and track the more strategic indicators you’d prefer to keep off your real-time Dashboard. These are likely to be the headline indicators you have to periodically report on to management – and so have to keep an eye. That said, how you actually configure the two displays to work best for you is your choice. It’s straightforward to enter your agreed targets and monitor current achievement against them. The system automatically updates the display from job data entered. Vivid, crystal clear information on performance attainment is available with just a single click. Like the Dashboard, you can drill down to see the trend of how you’re doing on each target – whether you’re getting better, worse or holding your own. Strategic measures are the long term corporate and campaign objectives you’re working towards, month by month, year on year. The Scoreboard display will typically include current MTB

Complementing the Dashboard and the Scoreboard, Pirana provides comprehensive activity and KPI reports including, Work Statistics, Response Time, Time to Repair, MTBF and a host of others, enabling you to track and analyse performance effortlessly. It’s the prerequisite information you need to jack up equipment availability, ensure regulatory compliance and prove due diligence. Securing the results expected of you becomes as straightforward as it gets.

You can configure Pirana to despatch jobs and updates to technicians via email, as well as automatically alerting you and others to important events, like when critical maintenance activities become due, or a situation you wish to monitor has changed. When you’re hard-pressed (and that tends to be always) it’s a big bonus to be able to use the facility for general reminders and alerts – part of your own automated time management system

Thanks to Pirana’s centralised and secure Document Manager, you can integrate an unlimited number of documents and files, including, permits, photographs, drawings, instructions, specifications, data sheets, certificates – even thermographs, vibration signatures and video clips – with any entity: Clients, Locations, Assets, Tasks, Contacts and Personnel. Just click on an entity to retrieve all its attached information. And, you can configure Pirana to automatically include associated documents when printing out a Work Order, such as, manufacturer’s drawings, Health & Safety instructions and visual standards. When you know there are no holes in the job information delivered into the hands of workers, that’s very reassuring indeed.

It’s never been easier for personnel, clients and contacts to raise Work Requests. Pirana removes admin obstacles in the way of accurate and timely defect and damage reporting. Cutting out the avoidable delays enables speedier remedial action. It minimises frustration, reduces costs and avoids collateral damage – even personal injury. In addition, your crew’s true backlog of work is always evident to them and anyone else that needs to know. Requesters get automatic updates on the progress of their requests and just love the better communication. Pirana’s secure Work Requester can be accessed from any PC with a web browser; no additional software or particular skill is required. Work Requester is simplicity itself.

By assigning pre-determined time bands to pre-defined work priorities, Pirana can automatically set the required service response date and time on prioritised Work Orders. In each case, the system will automatically calculate the ‘required-by’ date and time. It’s easy to monitor on-going performance and report actual achievement against target. Better response time = increased uptime. And it’s effortless.

Pirana’s uncomplicated, yet power-packed, calendar-based PM planner is accessible via the Work Scheduler. From high-frequency, on-the-day inspections to 20 year major refurbishments, you can include tasks of all frequencies. And, Pirana can be configured to release work automatically or manually. Pirana supports virtually any regular pattern of work, including, yearly, monthly and daily. Jobs can be scheduled on a specific day of the week or month – or on multiple days of the week, for example, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, not Tuesday and Friday. Minor tasks you don’t want to see can be suppressed. Easy drag-and-drop allows individual plans or entire schedules to be shifted to an earlier or later timeslot. Your non-asset plans can also be added to the Work Scheduler, so any type of task can be tracked against Clients, Locations and Contacts.

You can set up an unlimited number of meters for the recording of utility consumption and equipment condition monitoring readings. Any meter can be linked to an asset, task, plan or Work Order. After meter readings have been logged by an operative or engineer, they can be fed back into the system to produce trend graphs, reports and statistics. All information is right at your fingertips.

Work Control is easy with Pirana’s no-nonsense interface. You can manage requests, raise new work, control work-in-progress and sign off completed work. Pirana allows you to configure the work control process, including the ability to raise follow-on jobs, quick sign-off, group sign-off, sign off work as ‘not done’ – as opposed to completed – and clone existing work orders for faster data entry.

By enabling the instant entry and direct accessing of data using a standard mobile phone, or other wireless mobile device, Pirana Mobile reduces administration burden while increasing data accuracy and security. Unnecessary data handling, wasteful travelling to and from the jobsite and other work delays are eliminated. You can monitor job progress in real time – from anywhere – and, more importantly, empower mobile workers on-the-spot with up-to-the-minute work instructions and detailed job and asset-related information. Remoteness is no longer a barrier to the ready availability and sharing of information. Everyone’s free to roam – out on site, but not out of sight. Using paper forms is inefficient and frustrating for all concerned – from the field worker trying to figure things out, wishing he had more information to go on, to the manager at his desk, anxious to monitor events in real time and with a pressing need for accurate, up-to-the-minute information to make a crucial decisi

Pirana has context sensitive help to guide a user through that part of the system in current use. No need to trawl through the help file – just flip straight to the guidance needed. With this learn-as-you-go support, new users can quickly gain confidence and proficiency, enabling them to master the software in the shortest possible time. If a user needs further help, it’s immediately available via a direct link to Shire’s on-line Webex Support Centre .

System data is securely protected against unauthorised viewing and editing. You can configure and assign system access rights in accordance with your own management policies and procedures. System users can be allocated to User Groups with pre-determined, standard access rights – for example, Client, Supervisor, Contractor, Work Controller or Work Requester. Data security and information confidentiality are always top priority. However, when you’re eager to reap the gains in operational effectiveness and efficiency from deploying a single CMMS across multiple localities, you can face a predicament: How to protect sensitive local information from unauthorised prying eyes and the possibility of tampering? With the configurable Location Level Security feature of Pirana CMMS, this dilemma is avoidable. And there’s no need to compromise – you can have your cake and eat it. Company, customer, suppliers and employees data can be held locally secure while still providing the privileged few

The system can present a so-called ‘tree view’ of the Assets Register. The hierarchy of Client, Location, Assets and Parts, etc is presented on screen, enabling you to view all the interrelationships and navigate your way around your enterprise’s entire asset population.

You also have quick access to the compendium of information held for each location, system and equipment item. You can drill-down to find the information you need; click on any item to view its full details. For example, you can view the asset list at each location, a single asset’s assembly hierarchy down to part level, find out where any particular part is used, who supplies it, the technical specification, see a picture of it – and study any other information filed against it. You can expand or collapse branches to drill down to

With many people all wanting parts to do this and do that. It would be nice to be able to manage the process better and provide a better service to your customer. Requsitions allow this to occur. Any user can requisition parts for whatever purpose is needed. Approved by the relevant person and then the warehouse decides the action to take. Is it ordered, issued, cancelled or reserved. And at all times the user is kept informed by email of the progress of their requisition.

When jobs start, the most important thing is to have the parts there that are needed. In MEX and FleetMEX spare parts from inventory can be reserved for work orders or any job.

MEX and FleetMEX have a unique inspections module built in. The majority of maintenance work required in running a PM program is inspection of the plant and equipment. Inspections normally involves the checking of multiple pieces of plant over a short time span to check their overall condition. In MEX this can be achieved through setting up a routine inspection that only creates one work order for the entire inspection. The inspection can be question and answer based or allow for the inout of readings taken. And this also is available as a paperless method of inspection with MEX Mobile.
