Maintenance, Repairs & Overhauls

Control Every Repair, Even the Ones You Can't Predict

Returns, repairs, and overhauls rarely follow the same path twice. FactoryLogix lets your team diagnose, adapt, and execute on the spot, on the same platform that runs production, so every unit stays tracked, every decision stays documented, and every job stays under control from intake to shipment.

Repair Work Doesn't Follow a Standard Routing

Most manufacturers already have a production process under control. Returns, repairs, and overhauls are a different problem. Every unit that comes back can need a different diagnosis, a different set of parts, and a different sequence of work, and that path isn't known until the unit is in front of a technician.

When that work runs on spreadsheets, paper travellers, or a production system that was never built for it, turnaround times stretch, warranty decisions get made on incomplete information, and the traceability that started on the original build starts to break down.

Common challenges include:

  • Returns and repairs are tracked outside the system that built the product, so the process starts from scratch every time a unit comes back.

  • Determining whether a warranty claim is valid takes days of manual research into as-shipped versus as-returned configuration.

  • Disposition decisions, rework, and repair steps happen off to the side, breaking the traceability chain that compliance and customers depend on.

  • Repair backlogs and turnaround commitments are managed by instinct, with no way to test capacity before promising a customer a date.

Turning Every Return Into a Controlled, Traceable Job

FactoryLogix connects intake, diagnosis, repair, quality, and shipment in one environment built for products that don't follow a fixed process. Discover the condition a unit comes back in, build the right response on the spot, and keep the traceability that started on the production line intact through every return.

A repair path can't be scripted before you know what's wrong. FactoryLogix builds the route on the fly as technicians diagnose the unit, then guides adaptive repair and rebuild work instructions from there, so the floor never waits on engineering to catch up.

The Building Blocks of Reliable MRO Operations

Faster turnaround, lower liability exposure, and consistent execution all start with how repair work is diagnosed, authorized, and controlled. FactoryLogix helps manufacturers manage returns and overhauls with the same speed and confidence they expect from production.

Adapt to Every Repair Without Losing Control

Repair diagnostics and configuration upgrades start with discovering the present state of a unit, then reacting to what's found. FactoryLogix supports on the fly process creation, building the repair route as technicians work while still enforcing control, approvals, and full traceability.

  • On the fly process and route creation

  • Path selection between standard repair lines and exception routes

  • Conditional routing based on diagnosis and disposition

  • Configure to order and single unit repair support

  • Repair processes portable across sites and facilities

  • Real-time exception handling as new conditions are discovered

Built for the Unpredictable

The Technology Behind Every Repair

FactoryLogix brings the core work of returns, repairs, and overhauls into one environment. Diagnose units, route repairs on the fly, manage disposition and rework, requisition materials, guide technicians, and authorize customer work, all on the same data model used for production, so nothing needs reentry, reconciliation, or a separate system.

Adaptive Repair Routing

Build the repair route as you go with graphical, no code workflows, conditional paths, and automated decision rules that respond to what each unit's diagnosis reveals.

Liability & Warranty Forensics

Compare as-built and as-shipped configuration instantly to determine warranty coverage and contain liability to only the units genuinely at risk.

Disposition & Rework Management

Manage accept, reject, rework, and salvage decisions with configurable Material Review Board workflows and full history of every pass a unit takes.

Intelligent Material Requisition

Route real-time replacement part requests to materials control and third-party warehouse systems as parts are consumed, so technicians never wait on the next component.

Adaptive Work Instructions

Guide technicians through diagnosis, teardown, and rebuild with instructions that update automatically as the discovered condition changes.

Customer Work Authorization

Document, price, and route approval for work discovered beyond the original scope, so extra work gets authorized fast and the customer stays informed.

MRO Operational Excellence

Purpose Built for Repair's Toughest Challenges

Repair and overhaul operations look different across product types, industries, and operating models. FactoryLogix supports depots managing unpredictable volume, strict warranty exposure, multi-site operations, constant configuration change, and regulated compliance requirements.

Know What Happened. Control What's Happening. Predict What's Next.

FactoryLogix traces every return back to its original build, controls repair execution as it happens, and keeps liability, warranty, and compliance decisions grounded in real configuration data. Paired with Simio, manufacturers can also model repair capacity and turnaround time before committing to a customer, so backlogs get planned for instead of discovered.

Replace Guesswork with Predictable Repair Planning

The genealogy FactoryLogix builds from every return makes liability and warranty decisions faster and more defensible. Simulating repair volume and technician capacity with Simio means turnaround commitments are based on a tested plan, not a guess, and customers hear realistic dates instead of optimistic ones.

Faster Turnaround

Less time reconstructing configuration history by hand. More capacity to take on the next job.

Lower Liability Exposure

Warranty and recall decisions that once took days can move in hours, contained to only the units genuinely at risk.
