Industrial machines,
made supportable.

RepairReady™ is the machine passport for plants, service companies, and automation teams. Every PLC, panel, conveyor, and drive — knowable, serviceable, recoverable across its full lifecycle.

Why RepairReady exists

Machines should not be mysteries.

RepairReady was born from the real-world frustration of maintaining complex industrial equipment without the information needed to do the job right. Plants depend on contractors, electricians, controls technicians, OEMs, and maintenance teams to keep production moving — but too often those people are forced to troubleshoot blind. Missing drawings, outdated programs, unlabeled devices, unknown parts, undocumented modifications, and foreign machine logic turn simple repairs into expensive downtime.

Bit Shift Automation is building RepairReady because machines should not be mysteries. If a plant depends on a machine, then that machine deserves a support structure around it. RepairReady is the system that brings that structure together: documentation, machine hierarchy, controls data, service records, QR access, maintenance intervals, asset history, and technician-ready information in one organized platform.

The RepairReady Standard

Five readiness levels.
From operational to lifecycle-ready.

RepairReady™ classifies how supportable a machine actually is — not just whether it currently runs.

  1. 01
    Level 1
    Operational Only

    Running does not mean recoverable.

    The machine is currently operational, but supportability is unknown or incomplete. The system may be running normally while lacking required documentation, backups, labeling, service records, or verified recovery procedures.

    Typically Includes
    • Missing PLC/HMI backups
    • Incomplete or outdated drawings
    • Unknown field modifications
    • Limited maintenance records
    • Unverified drive parameters
    • Missing network documentation
  2. 02
    Level 2
    Identified

    The machine is now identifiable and traceable.

    Core machine information has been documented and organized. The asset has a verified identity, ownership, location, and basic machine structure recorded within RepairReady™.

    Typically Includes
    • Machine passport created
    • QR identification applied
    • Basic asset hierarchy documented
    • OEM and model information recorded
    • Initial photos uploaded
    • Major components identified
  3. 03
    Level 3
    Documented

    The first day an engineered machine runs on a plant floor is Level 3 RepairReady.

    Critical service documentation and recovery assets have been collected and verified. Technicians can begin troubleshooting and recovery without relying entirely on tribal knowledge.

    Typically Includes
    • Electrical drawings uploaded
    • PLC/HMI backups archived
    • Drive parameters stored
    • Network architecture documented
    • Panel labeling reviewed
    • Service contacts recorded
  4. 04
    Level 4
    Service Ready
    Recommended target

    The machine is prepared for support.

    The machine has passed structured serviceability inspections and is prepared for efficient support operations. Repair risks have been reduced through verification, inspection workflows, and corrective action tracking.

    Typically Includes
    • Inspection checklists completed
    • Safety systems reviewed
    • Critical deficiencies tracked
    • Maintenance intervals defined
    • Cabinet condition verified
    • Backup recovery procedures tested
    • Known issues documented
  5. 05
    Level 5
    Lifecycle Ready

    The machine can survive turnover, downtime, and time itself.

    The machine is actively maintained as a long-term supportable asset with controlled documentation, verified recovery capability, and ongoing operational governance. The system is positioned for sustainable maintenance, onboarding, troubleshooting, and lifecycle management.

    Typically Includes
    • Recurring audits completed
    • Documentation continuously maintained
    • Service history preserved
    • Change tracking enforced
    • Team access controlled
    • Maintenance compliance monitored
    • Institutional knowledge retained
    • Remote support availability
    • Observed system inefficiencies documented and reported

Public passport

The QR sticker that survives the machine.

Anyone who scans the QR sees a safe public record — name, type, location, support contact, current readiness level. Drawings, backups, and IPs stay locked behind controlled access.

  • Permanent IDs that don’t break when machines move.
  • External technicians request time-limited access with NDA.
  • Every download, scan, and access change is audit-logged.
  • Phone-handoff QR for inspection photo capture.
