Many facilities leverage systems like SCADAs, PLCs, and BASs to collect critical asset data. Operators rely on data like temperature, runtime, and pressure to manage and monitor their machines and keep production on track. Unfortunately, that information often stays locked in the system. This makes it impossible for maintenance teams to utilize it for proactive decision-making or long-term asset reliability planning.

What if this data could break free from its silo and power automated workflows, intelligent planning, and condition-based maintenance?

Enter Connect2Assets (C2A), an eMaint add-on that unlocks this data for smarter, proactive maintenance and improved reliability across facilities.

What is Connect2Assets?

Connect2Assets is a data integration tool that bridges the gap between production monitoring systems and the eMaint CMMS. It connects to almost any SCADA or PLC system and directly delivers powerful insights to eMaint, giving your team greater visibility.

Connect2Assets taps into the wealth of data from sensors around your plant. It pulls real-time vibration, pressure, and temperature readings from SCADA, PLCs, BMS/BAS, MES/MOM, and monitoring systems.

Delivering this data to eMaint gives your team a centralized, reliable data source and a clear picture of asset status across your facility. eMaint then turns this data into visible, actionable insights your team can use to boost uptime and improve reliability.

From Siloed Data to Smart Decisions

Data locked in production systems is only visible to operators and engineers with system-specific access. Connect2Assets integration centralizes data from multiple systems and sensors, giving maintenance and reliability teams access to critical data for making informed maintenance decisions.

Maintenance teams can access motor temperatures, compressor runtime, pressure levels, and other critical data to gain insight into asset performance. When a motor starts overheating, the maintenance team can immediately take action and begin troubleshooting or performing repairs before unplanned downtime occurs. Catching issues early means increased uptime, fewer emergencies, and more efficient scheduling.

Automating Condition-Based Maintenance

Condition-based maintenance (CBM) is a proactive strategy that schedules maintenance only when necessary based on real-time asset condition. This approach helps reduce unplanned downtime, extends equipment lifespan, and eliminates unnecessary maintenance tasks.

With eMaint, teams can set work orders to trigger based on condition data delivered to the system through Connect2Assets connections. Your team can fully leverage precision work order automation.

Rather than waiting for failure or relying on antiquated calendar-based maintenance, a work order is automatically triggered the moment an asset reaches a critical threshold, like high temperature, excessive runtime, or abnormal vibration. Maintenance tasks can be scheduled around the asset condition and optimized based on the real-time data pulled directly from the asset. This shift to condition-based maintenance lets your team perform maintenance tasks only when assets need them. It cuts costs by eliminating unnecessary maintenance while simultaneously improving reliability and minimizing downtime.

Automatic work orders remove the need for manual work requests, minimizing manual monitoring and allowing operators to focus on their tasks while ensuring work orders are created the exact moment they’re needed. This way, the maintenance team can more quickly respond and identify and correct problems before they lead to major operational disruptions, reducing overall downtime.

Get More From Data You Already Have

Connect2Assets helps you use the data you already have to break down silos, deliver condition data to eMaint, and unlock condition-based maintenance for increased asset availability.
