From First Use Case to Full Rollout: How Webalo’s ADO Framework Accelerates TPM and Operational Excellence

Achieving operational goals—from reducing downtime to improving OEE—is more important than ever. That’s where Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Connected Worker initiatives intersect. But turning TPM strategies into sustainable results takes more than good intentions and a few digital tools. It requires a structured, scalable approach.

That’s exactly what Webalo’s ADO Framework—Adoption, Deployment, and Operation—delivers.

Bridging TPM and Connected Work with ADO

Built into the Webalo Platform, the ADO Framework isn’t just about digitizing work. It’s about connecting people, processes, and systems in a way that drives measurable improvements in safety, quality, and productivity. Whether you’re reducing unplanned downtime, eliminating minor stops, or empowering operators to take ownership of equipment care, Webalo helps you move from small wins to full operational transformation.

Adoption: Aligning TPM Use Cases with Real Work

Adoption starts by identifying TPM-focused use cases—operator rounds, autonomous maintenance tasks, centerline checks—and generating role-based applications that align directly with how frontline teams work.

Unlike traditional top-down approaches, Webalo’s adoption phase happens where the work happens. Applications are created and used in live environments, with real teams and real data. This lets you:

  • Digitize key TPM activities fast

  • Enable early operator involvement and ownership

  • Prove value on the ground in days or weeks—not months

Webalo’s AI-powered capabilities help surface the highest-impact opportunities and ensure that improvements align with both local challenges and broader operational KPIs.

Deployment: Scaling TPM Beyond the Pilot

Once your initial TPM-focused use cases show results, Webalo makes it simple to scale. But this isn’t just about adding more apps. It’s about rolling out standardized practices across shifts, lines, and plants.

The deployment phase enables:

  • Consistent execution of TPM pillars across the enterprise

  • Cross-site visibility into maintenance performance

  • Rapid rollout of best practices, forms, and workflows

One global manufacturer expected their connected worker rollout to take years. With Webalo, they achieved enterprise-wide deployment in just a few months—proving that simplicity, speed, and scale are not mutually exclusive.

Operation: Sustaining TPM Gains Through Continuous Improvement

The final phase, Operation, focuses on turning gains into habits—and habits into culture. Webalo supports ongoing improvement through real-time data capture, operator feedback, and frontline-led insights.

Operators and technicians aren’t just logging issues. They’re:

  • Driving continuous improvement directly from the floor

  • Contributing to real-time insights on equipment effectiveness

  • Collaborating across departments to resolve root causes

From capturing anomalies and tagging breakdowns to monitoring progress on autonomous maintenance, Webalo transforms the day-to-day into a structured path for long-term TPM success.

Why ADO Matters for TPM and Operational Excellence

A Platform Built for Operational Results

The ADO Framework isn’t a concept—it’s built into the DNA of the Webalo Platform. It’s how manufacturers transform TPM from theory to execution, aligning Connected Worker initiatives with strategic operational goals.

With Webalo, digital transformation doesn’t just support TPM—it accelerates it.
