Strategies

A Strategy defines rules for automatically generating work orders. Instead of manually creating work orders every time maintenance is due, you configure a Strategy and WAKU Care handles the scheduling for you.

Why use Strategies?

• Never miss maintenance — Work orders are created automatically based on your rules
• Reduce manual effort — No need to remember or manually schedule recurring work
• Consistent scheduling — Intervals and triggers are applied uniformly across devices
• Data-driven maintenance — Usage-based and anomaly-based strategies react to actual device conditions

How Strategies work

A Strategy connects three things:

1. Devices — Which devices this strategy applies to
2. Schedule or trigger — When work orders should be created
3. Work Template — What tasks should be included in the generated work orders

When the schedule or trigger conditions are met, WAKU Care automatically creates a work order for the relevant devices, pre-loaded with tasks from the specified Work Template.

Strategy settings

Each strategy includes:

• Title and description — What this strategy covers
• Deployment — Which site this strategy applies to
• Devices — The specific devices covered
• Duration — Expected duration for the generated work orders
• Assignee — Who should be assigned to generated work orders
• Tags — Maintenance Tags applied to generated work orders
• Active/Inactive — Toggle whether the strategy is currently generating work orders

Tip

Start with a strategy in inactive mode to verify the configuration. Once you’re satisfied, activate it to start generating work orders.
