Industries
Which industries and categories appear in Latin America?
Where the industry can be classified, food, beverage and agri-food leads in the region: 29 of Mexico's 50 entries and 20 of Argentina's 28 are classified in that group. Brazil's classified entries include 15 electric power utility entries, the largest classified group there.

Batch and process plants such as food, beverage and dairy lines lose most time to changeovers, cleaning, minor stops and start-up scrap. Power utilities lose time to forced outages and planned work that overruns. Both need loss records that connect to autonomous and planned maintenance (Figure 2).

What should plants in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina look for in TPM software?
Loss stratification for batch and process lines
OEE in a food or beverage plant is only useful when stops are coded by reason and rolled up by line. MaintWiz provides an equipment view with loss stratification, a downtime report, a lost-hours Pareto and line and plant roll-ups, so changeover and cleaning losses are visible next to breakdowns.
Example: a changeover stop on a filling line is coded by reason when the operator records it. In the lost-hours Pareto it stands beside breakdowns and minor stops, so the plant sees at once whether changeovers or breakdowns cost more hours.
One AI CMMS for multi-plant groups
Groups that run the same pillar routines at several sites get per-customer roles and entitlements and an equipment-to-plant OEE roll-up in MaintWiz, so each plant's records stay separate and head office's view stays consistent.
| Check | Why it matters in the region | What MaintWiz offers |
|---|---|---|
| Pillar coverage | Awards assess every pillar across plants | A module for each of the eight pillars plus 5S, OEE, Kaizen and one point lessons |
| Loss records | Batch and process lines lose time to changeovers and stops | OEE with loss stratification, downtime report, lost-hours Pareto |
| Quality and safety | Food and process plants carry strict quality and safety routines | Quality defect records, rejection RCA, near miss and BBSO, ePTW for the safety pillar |
| Multi-site | Groups with several plants | Per-customer roles; OEE roll-up from equipment to line to plant |
| Systems fit | ERP and plant systems | SAP PM and MM web services; IoT, MES, SCADA, PLC and DCS sources |
| Deployment and cost | Public SaaS, priced to your scope | MaintWiz is delivered as public software as a service. Pricing is quoted on request and tailored to the modules and users you need; contact MaintWiz for a quote. |
See OEE on your stops and counts and bring one line's changeover and cleaning records.

How does MaintWiz run TPM in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina?
MaintWiz covers all eight TPM pillars plus 5S, OEE, Kaizen and one point lessons in one AI CMMS, with a clickable dashboard for each pillar, mobile capture, IoT-triggered work orders and ePTW for the safety pillar. The entire TPM can be rolled out in 6 to 8 weeks: data loads through easy Excel uploads, the screens are intuitive, and the MaintWiz implementation team gives guided project management. Operators write tags, observations and one point lessons in Spanish or Portuguese or any other script, because MaintWiz supports Unicode; menus and labels are in English.
In the 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 reads.
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.
A plant in Monterrey, Sao Paulo or Cordoba loads its equipment list from Excel and has tags, audits and OEE live in the pilot area. See it on your plant's equipment list and bring the tag sheet you use today and the systems you need to connect.
