Manufacturing maintenance software
Keep the line running with maintenance data you can trust.
Arkyn’s mobile apps put SAP PM work orders, checklists, and asset history on the shop floor, so technicians fix faster and planners schedule from real data.
Your output depends on data that reaches SAP.
Every hour a line stands still has a price in output, OEE, and revenue. For fast-moving consumer goods manufacturers, Siemens puts it at $36,000 an hour on average in its True Cost of Downtime 2024 report.
You can reduce downtime with better data: faster issue reporting, richer work order details, smarter scheduling, and digital inspections.
Arkyn helps by connecting the shop floor to SAP in real time. Every repair, inspection, and notification is recorded as it happens, giving you less downtime and more output from every line.
Common challenges in manufacturing maintenance.
When technicians report hours or days after the work, planners schedule from stale information. Breakdowns happen that should have been caught. Arkyn captures data as work happens and syncs it to SAP in real time.
Planners spend half their day copying data between SAP and Excel. Schedules go stale before they are shared. Arkyn replaces spreadsheets with a live view of workloads and capacity that syncs to SAP in seconds.
Quality and safety inspections are filled out on clipboards, then entered into SAP later. Missing or incomplete entries create compliance risk. Arkyn digitizes checklists that write to SAP on submission, with full tracking for audit.
Each plant tracks maintenance differently. Operations leaders lack a consistent view of backlog health, resource utilization, or schedule compliance across sites. Arkyn standardizes execution so the data is comparable and visible from one place.
Why it's time to make the change.
With FastWork, technicians report time, materials, and status and the data reaches SAP in real time.
FastPlan replaces spreadsheets with a live view of workloads and capacity, and every change syncs to SAP in seconds.
Quality and safety checklists are completed in FastForms on mobile, and every submission writes back to SAP with full tracking for audit.
Every plant runs the same process in SAP, so backlog, resource utilization, and schedule compliance are comparable and visible from one place.
Maintenance software for food and beverage plants.
On a 24/7 line, the person who spots a problem is often off shift by the time a technician arrives. With FastNotifications, operators report it at the machine with a photo and a scan of the asset, so the next shift knows exactly what to fix and where.
Hygiene, quality, and safety checks happen shift after shift. FastForms puts each checklist on a phone, tied to the right SAP equipment or functional location, and every submission is tracked and can be exported as a PDF for audits.
Planned work has to fit into production stops and cleaning windows. FastPlan gives maintenance planners a live view of workload and capacity, so they can move work into the best slot, and every change syncs to SAP in seconds.

Some frequently asked questions.
Yes. Arkyn provides pre-built coverage for SAP PM processes, aligned to standard configuration patterns. It supports both SAP ECC and S/4HANA.
Yes. Admins build multi-section forms with drag-and-drop, bind fields to SAP data, and set rules that route the right form to the right technician. Submissions write back to SAP and are tracked for compliance.
Yes. Arkyn scales across plants and sites. Planners get visibility across locations, and integration is handled centrally.
Most deployments go live in 2 to 6 weeks. Pre-built SAP PM coverage means you are not building integrations from scratch.
Usually not. SAP PM already covers what a CMMS does: notifications, work orders, preventive maintenance plans, and equipment history. What it lacks is usability on the shop floor. Arkyn adds mobile apps, digital forms, and visual planning on top of SAP PM, so you keep one system of record and give technicians and planners software they use every day.
Yes. With FastNotifications, any operator can scan an asset, describe the issue with speech-to-text or photos, and submit an SAP notification from a phone. No SAP login or training required.
If SAP PM is your system of record, look for an app that runs on top of SAP rather than a separate CMMS. Your options are SAP’s own mobile apps, third-party apps built for SAP, and custom builds. Compare them on how easily operators can report issues, offline use in every corner of the plant, time to go live, and total cost of ownership. Most Arkyn deployments go live in 2 to 6 weeks, with 85% average adoption. We compare the main options, with prices, in our guide to SAP work order apps.
Put the work order on their phone. With FastWork, technicians open SAP PM work orders on iOS or Android and report time, materials, and status at the machine. The data reaches SAP as the work happens, or as soon as the phone comes back into cellular or WiFi range. As described in our European food manufacturer success story, many technicians who joined after the rollout have never had to use SAP directly thanks to FastWork.
Yes. Arkyn’s manufacturing customers include Arla, Döhler, and Royal Unibrew. At one large European food manufacturer, more than 2,000 technicians and shop floor operators use FastWork daily across 44 production sites.
