Overview
The Building & Engineering Management System (BEMS) tracks maintenance work orders, preventive maintenance schedules, utility consumption, and engineering asset lifecycle for hospital infrastructure.
Work Orders
Manage maintenance requests:
- Any department can raise a work order (e.g., AC not working in Ward 3, leaking tap in OPD).
- The engineering team receives, prioritises, and assigns work orders.
- Track status: Raised > Acknowledged > In Progress > Completed > Verified.
- Emergency work orders (power failure, medical gas issues) trigger immediate alerts.
- Turnaround time and resolution quality are tracked for SLA compliance.
Preventive Maintenance
Schedule recurring maintenance tasks:
- Equipment-wise PM schedules: DG sets, lifts, HVAC, UPS, medical gas plants, water treatment.
- Frequency: Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual.
- PM checklists per equipment type with pass/fail criteria.
- Auto-generated PM work orders based on schedule.
- Compliance dashboard showing PM completion rates.
Utility Monitoring
Track utility consumption:
- Electricity: Daily readings, DG runtime hours, power factor, energy cost.
- Water: Consumption by source (municipal, borewell, tanker), water quality test logs.
- Medical Gases: Oxygen, nitrous oxide, medical air consumption and cylinder/manifold levels.
- Fuel: Diesel for DG sets, LPG for kitchen.
Trend charts help identify anomalies and optimise consumption.
Notes
Tip
Set up SMS alerts for critical equipment failures (DG, medical gas, lifts) to ensure immediate engineering response.
