What to look for
What should plants in India look for in TPM software?
Total Productive Maintenance has a long history in India. The CII TPM Club India promotes TPM through certificates and awards scored on pillar evidence, and many plants also follow the JIPM method. MaintWiz keeps the evidence for each pillar ready when the assessor asks: step status, tags, audit scores, training and loss records. The checks below show what to look for (Figure 1).
| Check | Why it matters in an Indian plant | What to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Method fit | Assessments look at pillar activities and results over time | Can the system show step status, tag closure, audit scores and training for each pillar? |
| SAP fit | Many large Indian plants run SAP PM and MM | What is exchanged with SAP, how often, and who maintains it? |
| Plant systems | Machine data may come from existing control systems | Which sources connect: IoT, MES, SCADA, PLC, DCS? |
| Adoption | Operators need screens they pick up quickly | Can operators raise tags from a phone and write them in Hindi or Tamil? MaintWiz offers both. |
| Loading | Plants hold equipment lists and checklists in Excel | Can data be loaded from Excel templates? |
| Reports | Management and assessors want files | What can be exported? Data can be exported to XLS and PDF. |
| Cost | Scope differs by plant | What does the quote include? See TPM software pricing. |

CII path
How does TPM software fit the CII TPM Club path?
CII describes a ladder of certificates and awards, and the JIPM award sits beside it; an external assessment for the TPM Excellence Award looks for a working policy, pillar activities, results over time and live routines. MaintWiz keeps that evidence in the system as the work happens, so the file is ready the day the assessor asks.
| Pillar | Evidence a system can hold |
|---|---|
| Autonomous maintenance | Step status, tags raised and closed, audit scores |
| Planned maintenance | Schedule, compliance and backlog |
| Focused improvement | Loss records and Kaizen sheets with a verified result |
| Quality, safety and training | Defect, near-miss and session records with dates and owners |
MaintWiz holds every record the assessor reads, with dates and owners, ready to export to XLS and PDF.
Start with the award preparation checklist; the same lists upload to MaintWiz through Excel.

For a plant in India that means assessors, customers and suppliers already speak the language of the pillars, and a large peer group is on the same path. MaintWiz holds tags, audits, training and loss records for every pillar, so the next assessment is a matter of exporting the file. With 470 entries, India leads the TPM award winners by country ranking. The same eight pillars run in steel, automotive, pharma and food plants, each starting from its own largest loss (TPM by industry).
SAP
Does MaintWiz integrate with SAP in Indian plants?
MaintWiz integrates with SAP through the PM and MM modules using web services, and the integration is in use in live enterprise implementations. Plants that run SAP agree the PM and MM exchange and its tests before the connection is built.
The Jishu Hozen record connects to six things
Jishu Hozen record tags, checks, closures

Loading and export
How do loading, export and mobile capture work?
MaintWiz supports Unicode, so operators write tags and notes in Hindi, Tamil or any other script; menus and labels are in English. Data loads from Excel templates, which suits plants that keep equipment lists and checklists in spreadsheets. Data can be exported to XLS and PDF. Operators raise abnormality tags from a phone, and overdue alerts show what has passed its target date.
MaintWiz is delivered as public software as a service. The spreadsheet migration checklist helps plan the first load.
Evaluate and buy
How should an Indian plant evaluate and buy?
- Bring your tag sheet, checklists and audit lists to a MaintWiz demo; they load by Excel upload.
- Shortlist products against the twelve criteria and add your SAP and language needs.
- Ask each vendor for a demo on your own records.
- Ask for an itemised three-year quote against one written scope.
- Decide on what was demonstrated, then pilot in one area.
In a first demo you see your own checklist as tags and audits: a tag raised on a mobile device and routed to an owner with a target date, an audit finding raised in the abnormality register, overdue alerts, training records with certification and expiry handling, and OEE at equipment, line and plant level. Data exports to XLS and PDF for the reports your management and assessors read. The entire TPM can be rolled out in 6 to 8 weeks, with easy Excel uploads, intuitive screens and guided project management from the MaintWiz implementation team.
MaintWiz AI agents run on your plant's own records, such as tags, work orders and losses, and generate a list of what needs to be watched. The agent proposes and your team approves, so every action keeps a named owner.
See it on your plant's equipment list and bring your tag sheet and the systems you need to connect. Pricing is quoted on request and tailored to the modules and users you need.
