Digitalizing maintenance for automotive & suppliers
Production downtime is not an option in the automotive industry. Whether press shop, paint line or assembly line – every minute counts. At the same time, the requirements for transparency, traceability and standard-compliant maintenance are increasing.
With SIMPL, you can digitize your maintenance processes – structured, standardized and IATF-compliant. From fault reporting and resource planning to mobile documentation and evaluation. For higher plant availability, reduced downtimes and maintenance that fits in with production.

Availability counts - but maintenance often lags behind
In automotive production, every unit, every line, every component has to run reliably – otherwise the cycle stops. But in many companies, maintenance processes are still paper-based, prone to errors or tied to individuals. Notifications are recorded too late, maintenance is forgotten or reports are incompletely documented.
Especially under IATF specifications or in multi-level supplier structures, a lack of transparency quickly becomes a risk – for quality, efficiency and the obligation to provide evidence. Without digital processes, unnecessary downtimes, long response times and a growing coordination effort between production, maintenance and quality assurance arise.
Digital maintenance control - for maximum availability and IATF compliance
With SIMPL, you can digitize your maintenance organization – from fault reporting and resource planning to mobile feedback and complete documentation. All measures are recorded centrally, assigned to the affected systems and saved for evaluation or audits at any time.
Whether preventive maintenance, acute malfunctions or TPM measures: you gain control over your maintenance, reduce response times, improve traceability and reliably meet regulatory requirements such as IATF 16949. For production that runs – and maintenance that grows with it.
Digital fault message & operation control
With SIMPL, workers, shift supervisors or plant operators record faults digitally – mobile or stationary. The maintenance service receives the report in real time, prioritizes it and assigns it directly to a technician. This creates a transparent, seamless process from problem to rectification.
Record messages in a structured manner – plan and prioritize assignments directly
Mobile feedback & standard-compliant documentation
Technicians document all measures directly on the line: including fault description, measures, partial use, times and approval. The feedback is IATF-compliant, can be evaluated and is immediately available in the system – without paper, without reworking.
Completely record maintenance, repairs and TPM measures
Evaluation & OEE-related key figures
With SIMPL, you can analyze downtimes, response times, MTTR/MTBF and maintenance dates at the touch of a button. The KPIs can be exported, used for store floor visualization and form the basis for continuous improvement and audit security.
Making maintenance performance measurable – for plant management and audit
Production reliability starts with digital maintenance
With SIMPL, you can manage your maintenance processes efficiently, IATF-compliant and data-supported – from incidents to preventive maintenance.
