The MaintainX Ignition Module connects Ignition’s SCADA data to MaintainX, enabling automatic alerts, condition monitoring, and real-time work order generation. With simple installation, the module allows system integrators and end-users to adopt and scale efficiently. It eliminates manual monitoring by creating work orders based on equipment runtime, fault codes, or sensor readings, ensuring proactive maintenance and reduced downtime.
This integration empowers maintenance teams to shift from reactive to predictive strategies. By leveraging Ignition’s ability to collect and contextualize industrial data, actionable insights are pushed to MaintainX, creating a unified workflow. “Maintenance, repair and operations teams are drowning in data but starving for actionable insights. Together, MaintainX and Inductive Automation bridge the critical gap between operational technology and maintenance execution,” said Chris Turlica, CEO and Co-Founder of MaintainX.
The collaboration addresses critical maintenance challenges:
Condition-Based Maintenance: Automatically generates work orders when equipment exceeds safe parameters, such as temperature or vibration.
Usage-Based Maintenance: Schedules maintenance based on runtime or production cycles, optimizing over calendar-based methods.
Enhanced Fault Tracking: Captures real-time equipment failures with automatic status updates and downtime reason logging.
“The convergence of OT and maintenance systems represents the next frontier in industrial efficiency,” said Travis Cox, Chief Technology Evangelist at Inductive Automation. “By combining our platform’s connectivity and data contextualization capabilities with MaintainX’s maintenance execution excellence, we’re enabling manufacturers to realize the full potential of their operational technology investments.”
Roeslein & Associates, a leading systems integrator, has implemented the integration to optimize equipment maintenance. “In the industrial and energy sector, a guiding principle for digital deployments is that all software must work well together and integrate seamlessly. MaintainX connected effortlessly with our Ignition-based Data and SCADA systems, giving customers a real-time link between operations and maintenance activities,” said J. C. Harrison, Vice President of Systems and Operational Services at Roeslein & Associates.
This pre-built integration requires minimal technical expertise, enabling organizations to implement advanced maintenance strategies without extensive custom development. It supports industries like manufacturing, energy, and facilities management, delivering enterprise-grade reliability and scalability.
The integration of MaintainX and Inductive Automation empowers organizations to streamline maintenance processes, reduce unplanned downtime, and enhance operational efficiency through AI-driven insights and automated workflows.
