Rotables Process

Built for Pronto Xi ERP software, our PSA Rotables Process enhances the visibility and tracking of your rotatable inventory items —from warehouse changeout repair back to the warehouse

Take Control of Rotable Items in Your Changeouts

At PSA, we understand mining. One of the most critical; yet often overlooked; aspects of the maintenance function is the effective management of rotable components.

Maximize Asset Lifespan and Availability

Rotables are high-value, serviceable components that represent a significant investment. Properly tracking and managing these items is essential to:

Maximize asset life
Optimize equipment uptime
Protect working capital
Enhance return on investment (ROI)

Yet many mining operations struggle to manage rotables effectively. The result is unnecessary downtime, wasted resources, and weakened asset performance.

Common Challenges in Rotable Management

PSA commonly sees clients struggle with the boundless requirements of managing high value spares and serialized components. We have worked directly with global mining clients, learning from their biggest challenges, to create a rotable inventory management module that gives full visibility into your rotable inventory and the effectiveness of your components in operations.

Here are some of the most frequent issues we see in the field:

Lack of visibility into the location, usage history, or repair status of rotable parts
Idle inventory expensive components forgotten in storage
Capital tied up in redundant or excess rotable stock
Poor availability when components are needed due to ineffective planning
Unplanned downtime caused by missing, unserviced, or untracked rotables
Incomplete service history, limiting informed decision-making
Uninspected returns; parts re-enter service without proper QA
Disjointed processes across operations, maintenance, and supply chain

Lack of tracking

Use for missing location/status of rotables

No service history

Symbolizes missing or incomplete maintenance data

Rotables stuck in warehouse

Represents idle high-value parts in storage

Untracked return cycles

Depicts unmonitored send/return/ service loops

PSA Rotable Process Workflow

Managing Rotables: Simple in Theory, Complex in Practice

At first glance, managing rotables seems straightforward: issue the part, track its use, repair it, and return it to stock. But in reality, every rotable component follows a unique and often complex lifecycle; spanning multiple locations, service vendors, inspections, and warranty conditions.

Without a robust, integrated system, data becomes fragmented. Parts go missing. Service records and turnaround times slip through the cracks. This complexity makes rotable management one of the most underestimated challenges in asset-intensive industries.

That’s why PSA has developed a structured, automated rotables workflow in Pronto Xi, giving you complete control over the lifecycle of every component and maximizing the value of both the rotable and the major asset it supports.

FAQs - Rotables Management

What are rotables, and how are they different from consumables?

Rotables are high-value, repairable components—like engines, pumps, or gearboxes—that can be reused after maintenance or refurbishment. In contrast, Consumables are used once and discarded (e.g., filters, gaskets). Rotables require lifecycle tracking, service history, and logistical control.

Why is rotable management important?

Rotables are high-value, repairable components—like engines, pumps, or gearboxes—that can be reused after maintenance or refurbishment. In contrast, Consumables are used once and discarded (e.g., filters, gaskets). Rotables require lifecycle tracking, service history, and logistical control.

Isn’t rotable management just a matter of tracking items in and out?

Rotables are high-value, repairable components—like engines, pumps, or gearboxes—that can be reused after maintenance or refurbishment. In contrast, Consumables are used once and discarded (e.g., filters, gaskets). Rotables require lifecycle tracking, service history, and logistical control.

Can rotables be tracked with a standard inventory system?

Rotables are high-value, repairable components—like engines, pumps, or gearboxes—that can be reused after maintenance or refurbishment. In contrast, Consumables are used once and discarded (e.g., filters, gaskets). Rotables require lifecycle tracking, service history, and logistical control.

How does systemising rotable management help reduce costs?
