Austral Bricks has been part of Australia’s building industry since 1908. What began as a state-based brick manufacturer has grown into a national organization, with manufacturing operations across Australia.

As the business has expanded, Austral Bricks needed a more flexible way to access MEX without relying on local networks or internal infrastructure. By moving to MEX's cloud-based deployment, the team gained secure, anywhere access to their maintenance system while simplifying system administration and ongoing updates.

The challenge

Austral Bricks needed a maintenance system that could support a large and varied asset base across plants, factories, and fleet operations.

Austral Bricks needed a way to:

• Manage maintenance activities across multiple locations  

• Keep MEX updated with the latest versions  

• Provide users with easy access to the system from anywhere  

• Reduce reliance on local infrastructure and networks

The solution

Austral Bricks impletmented MEX to manage maintenance across its plants and mobile fleet.

With MEX, the team can centralize asset information, manage equipment breakdowns, and stay on top of preventive maintenance across their operations.

Today, Austral Bricks manages:

• 3,000 assets

• 400+ active preventive maintenance policies

• 100+ users

Moving to a cloud-based CMMS

Austral Bricks also needed a more flexible way to access MEX without relying on local networks or internal IT infrastructure.

By moving to MEX’s cloud-based deployment option, Austral Bricks gained secure access to the system from anywhere, anytime.

The hosted environment also helps keep the system up to date with the latest MEX versions, while simplifying setup, administration, and support.

The results

• Easier access to MEX across locations  

• Greater flexibility for users  

• Simplified system administration  

• Continued access to the latest MEX updates  

• Strong customer service and support
