Most maintenance teams have the same two problems at once. Nobody is certain where the knowledge gaps are, and there is no standard way to bring a new technician up to speed. Then training gets scheduled around production, which means it’s scheduled last.
The maintenance library starts with Maintenance Tech Fundamentals, a foundational series that brings every general maintenance technician up to speed on preventive maintenance work.
The Maintenance Tech Fundamentals covers:
- General mechanical, from measurement and hand tools through fasteners, threads and taps, and cutting tools for machining
- Electrical, from DC and AC through wiring, motors, sensors, and test equipment
- Hydraulic and pneumatic systems, including industrial automation and process control
- Welding, including welding processes, metals and materials, and non-destructive examination
- Introductions to PLC and robotics
Functional pathways go deeper in electrical, hydraulics, pneumatics, welding, PLC, and robotics as technicians advance. For example, the PLC track dives into ControlLogix, Studio 5000, and troubleshooting ladder logic.
