makerspace machine downtime and maintenance tracking
Machine Downtime Handoff
Turns makerspace machine downtime and maintenance tracking into a visible operating queue so every equipment incident immediately blocks affected access and bookings, transfers with named repair ownership, and restores only after the required review and test.
The problem
A CNC, laser cutter, printer, saw, kiln, or shop tool is tagged out, but bookings, member notices, diagnosis, parts, volunteer ownership, safety review, and return testing are not synchronized.
The focused product
A focused makerspace machine downtime and maintenance tracking workflow that makes ownership, evidence, exceptions, and the next action visible.
