Reduce unplanned machine downtimes with the MYZEL Lifecycle Platform

Fewer unplanned downtimes reduce costs in your business and increase machine productivity. The MYZEL Lifecycle Platform centralises machine, process and personnel records, supports standardised workflows and shortens decision-making processes during machine downtimes.

Unplanned machine downtime disrupts the entire production flow:

plans change, orders are delayed, and a restart takes longer. Short-term procurement of materials and additional stock tie up capital and complicate planning. Legal regulations demand seamless documentation, as missing records or approvals delay the restart of the machine. Without central access, the risk of additional downtimes increases due to missing safety, qualification, or compliance approvals. The causes often lie in a lack of transparency: minor interruptions remain undocumented, making analysis more difficult. Only systematic recording and evaluation ensure long-term process reliability and high machine productivity. 

MYZEL provides support in specific decision-making situations through rapid, intuitive information gathering. Because it’s not just repairs that delay decisions to restart, or the production flow, but also the search for documents, approvals, and responsibilities.

MYZEL brings data on machinery and personnel together on a single platform. Via myCore, assets and associated digital artifacts are uniquely and securely assigned. For example this includes:

• Operating manuals  
• Test logs  
• Validations  
• Training records  
• Operating procedures  
• Maintenance plans  

If documents are missing or about to expire, this is displayed clearly on a dashboard. Overall, this helps with approval during decision-making processes, for the re-activation of machinery for example.  

The EU Machinery Regulation will apply from 20 January 2027. It strengthens digital documentation, software and cyber issues and increases formal auditability.

How MYZEL provides support:

The platform centralises templates and the status of artifacts, facilitates audit readiness in daily operations, and also reduces machine downtimes that are due to missing compliance records.  

MYZEL does not represent an additional standalone solution. Instead it clearly organises the flow of information over the whole machine lifecycle. Certainly, MYZEL can also be used as an integrated solution in addition to your existing software. During operation, you are supported by guided digital workflows. 

By connecting the stored information, machine stops and start-up losses are classified more quickly, recurring errors become more transparent, and the time waiting for approval is reduced accordingly.

For the safe operation of existing machinery: mySafeOperation

The workflow provides support with the systematic processing of inspection and maintenance, including documented artifacts. Digital checklists and templates simplify the process. In addition, you always have an overview of your machines’ approvals.

For control of access and operating modes: myAccessControl

This workflow enables safe, convenient user management of your machinery. You can map qualifications and permissions, making approvals and misuse transparent in the event of a malfunction.

For new machinery and when making modifications to existing machinery: mySafeDesign

You will be guided step by step through the risk assessment and, with the help of checklists, through the validation of new machinery; the same applies for existing machinery when you need to make significant modifications. This includes the filing of audit-proof results. 

The MYZEL Lifecycle Platform is cloud-based and is operated in the EU. Our greatest concern is not only the safety of your employees, but also the security of your data. That’s why MYZEL is certified to:

•  ISO/IEC 27017 
•  ISO/IEC 27018

As a result, your operational and personnel data is stored securely. As the software provider, we too would like to emphasise that we have no way of accessing your data. As MYZEL is cloud-based, you can access the platform securely anytime and from anywhere in case of an emergency.
