Keep every excavator, crane, loader, and drill rig running — even at remote sites. Cryotos brings voice AI work orders from the field, SMH-based AND/OR PM triggers, OEM telematics integration, permit-to-work for crane lifts, and undercarriage wear tracking.
Heavy Equipment Challenges
Problem 01
Heavy equipment breakdowns in remote quarries, construction sites, or offshore platforms mean production stops immediately. No technician is nearby, and by the time a work order is raised via phone, the shift has already changed and context is lost.
Problem 02
A CAT excavator that worked 18 hours on Monday and 4 hours on Tuesday should not be maintained on the same calendar cycle as one running steady 10-hour shifts. Calendar-based PM leads to over-maintenance on lightly used machines and under-maintenance on high-utilization fleet.
Problem 03
Critical lifts, confined space entry on equipment sumps, and electrical isolation on HV mining machinery all require formal safety authorization. When this happens on paper or verbally, there is no documented trail — creating serious OSHA and liability exposure when incidents occur.
Problem 04
Undercarriage components on tracked heavy equipment account for 40–50% of total maintenance spend. Track shoes, rollers, and sprockets wear progressively but fail suddenly. Without cycle-count tracking and condition measurement, teams only discover they need a reline when the machine breaks down on a critical project.
Cryotos Solves All Four - In One Platform
In a remote excavation site or marine dredging operation, an operator cannot step away from their machine to find a computer. In 30 seconds, Cryotos Voice AI creates the complete work order — machine tag, fault, priority — just by speaking. The work order is in the system before the operator walks back to the machine.
Field operators at remote construction sites raise work requests via WhatsApp without installing any additional app. The request enters the maintenance system immediately, gets prioritized, and is assigned to the available technician — with GPS location of the machine attached.
Cryotos heavy equipment PM scheduling is built on Service Meter Hours (SMH) — not arbitrary calendar intervals. The 500h service happens after 500 actual engine hours, whether that takes 2 weeks or 2 months depending on site utilization.
Add AND/OR condition logic for smarter triggers: "Excavator PM at SMH > 500 OR oil sample TBN below threshold." Catch real wear indicators before they cause failure — not just when the calendar says it's time.
Every modern heavy equipment OEM — Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo, Liebherr, Hitachi — includes a telematics system. CAT Product Link, Komatsu KOMTRAX, and Volvo MATRIS continuously stream equipment data: SMH readings, fault codes, fluid levels, filter restrictions, and location.
Cryotos connects directly to these OEM telematics feeds and third-party fleet systems (Samsara, Geotab, Verizon Connect). When a fault code fires or an equipment parameter crosses a threshold, Cryotos automatically generates a work order and assigns it to the nearest available technician. No radio call. No manual logging. The machine itself initiates the maintenance response.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1400 requires documented lift plans and safety verification for crane operations. Equipment maintenance involving confined space entry in equipment sumps, electrical isolation on HV mining machines, hot work near fuel tanks, and work at height on scaffolded plant all require permit-to-work authorization before any work begins.
Cryotos provides configurable digital PTW workflows for every high-risk operation type. The operator or lift supervisor initiates a permit on mobile, required approvals are collected digitally, and the operation cannot proceed until all sign-offs are complete. Every PTW is stored with timestamps, approver names, attached lift plan, and weather verification for full OSHA compliance.
Undercarriage is the highest-cost maintenance area for tracked heavy equipment, but the most poorly tracked. Cryotos assigns SMH-based wear schedules to undercarriage components (track shoes, rollers, idlers, sprockets) and attachments (buckets, hydraulic hammers, compactor plates) separately from the base machine.
When track shoe wear reaches 80% of design life based on measured thickness, Cryotos generates a reline assessment work order — scheduled for the next planned downtime window, not as an emergency. And when a breakdown occurs anywhere in your fleet, the technician completes a mandatory 5 Whys root cause analysis before the corrective work order can close, stopping the same failure from repeating.
Full Feature Set
Create work orders in 30 seconds by speaking from a remote site, quarry, or offshore platform. Dusty conditions, PPE gloves, no connectivity — voice works where typing doesn't.
Schedule PMs at 250h, 500h, 1,000h actual engine hours for each machine. SMH feeds automatically from OEM telematics or manual entry. Never miss an operating-hour based service.
"Excavator PM at SMH > 500 OR oil sample TBN below threshold" — multi-condition triggers that catch real wear before breakdowns, without over-maintaining healthy machines.
Connect to CAT Product Link, KOMTRAX, Volvo MATRIS, Samsara, and Geotab. Fault codes and parameter exceedances auto-generate work orders in real time.
Digital PTW for critical lifts (OSHA 1926.1400), confined space, HV isolation, hot work, and working at height. Full audit trail with lift plan attachments and approver records.
Track track shoes, rollers, idlers, and sprockets by SMH and measured wear percentage. Auto-schedule reline work orders before wear causes catastrophic failure.
Track hydraulic hammers, buckets, compactor plates, and blades as separate assets with their own PM schedules and wear part cycles — independent of the base machine.
Mandatory root cause analysis in every corrective work order. CAPA assigned and tracked to closure. The same breakdown on the same machine won't repeat at the next shift.
Track where every machine is across multiple sites. Dispatch the nearest available technician. Verify equipment check-ins at the correct work site location.
Technicians access work orders, asset history, and maintenance procedures on mobile with or without connectivity. Full offline sync for remote site operations.
QR-coded parts at workshop and field stores. ABC classification for critical heavy equipment spares. Auto-reorder on stock threshold. Per-WO cost capture.
Field operators raise requests via WhatsApp without installing an app. Work order data syncs to SAP, Oracle, and ERP systems via REST API for procurement and costing.
Built for Every Role
I recently purchased Cryotos CMMS Software for asset management needs at my organization and after a few months of testing and monitoring, I'm incredibly pleased with the results. The software is user friendly, accessible and the design is very intuitive. It covers all the aspects of managing maintenance and repair, starting from preventive maintenance and standardizing operation cycles, to scheduling and streamlining workflows. I am highly satisfied with the performance and the range of features offered by Cryotos. Highly recommendable!
Read Review in G2Since we've started using Cryotos, our team has been able to stay on top of all the various SOPs. Checklists and safety procedures are now easily accessible to everyone, and we can quickly reference them whenever we need to. The software has definitely helped to improve our team's communication and efficiency. Plus, the fact that it's cloud-based means we can access it from anywhere, which is a big plus. It has been a great help in keeping everyone on the same page and up to date with the latest procedures.
I am using this application right now for my service team, very good, user friendly, have lot of customisation in workflow and service reports. the team supported for initial implementation, They have good support team. Myself fully recommended this application.
