Relying on an EAM/CMMS to schedule work purely by time is like changing your car’s oil every 30 days, whether you drove 50 km or 5,000. It “works,” but you’ll miss more innovative opportunities. That’s where Asset Performance Management (APM) comes in—adding condition-based, predictive, and proactive maintenance driven by actual asset data.
Below are three practical APM practices that can lift asset reliability, streamline communication, and help your EAM make better decisions.
Connect MAINTelligence™ to Your EAM for Condition-Based Work
Paper forms and scattered spreadsheets create delays and errors. Traditional EAM/CMMS tools typically generate time-based PMs; an APM such as MAINTelligence™ analyzes condition data and can trigger work on conditions, not just calendar dates.
What MAINTelligence™ adds:
- Collects asset health data, identifies trends, analyzes, diagnoses, and visualizes asset health data.
- Acts as a front-end to your EAM, automatically generating work requests when diagnostic rules are met.
- Standardizes data capture and closes the reliability, maintenance, and operations loop.
The win: fewer duplicate entries, fewer busy-work PMs, and priorities set by actual asset condition.
Centralize High-Quality Asset Data
Excellent predictive maintenance depends on consistent data. With MAINTelligence™, you pull multiple data types into one system—lubrication, operator inspections, vibration/CBM routes, and more—so everyone is looking at the same current information as it becomes available within your update cadence.
Best practices:
- Standardize routes and forms to configure templates so techs collect the same fields consistently.
- Provide role-based views so plant managers see portfolio status, area managers see their assets, and technicians see task-level details.
- Automate analytics/reporting to convert readings into health indicators, alarms, and trend insights that are easy to act on.
Outcome: a shared data foundation that feeds diagnostics, reduces silos, and supports proactive planning.
Give teams a shared, role-based view with ViewMT™.
Silos disappear when everyone checks the same up-to-date view. ViewMT™ turns MAINTelligence™ data into dashboards with KPIs, asset conditions, workflows, and status you can scan across maintenance, reliability, and operations.
What teams gain:
- Common situational awareness: operations, maintenance, and reliability reference the same status.
- Prioritized action lists: fault conditions surface clearly, so the next best action is obvious.
- Cleaner handoffs: fewer status meetings; more time fixing root causes.
The bottom line is that when everyone shares the same source of truth, work moves faster, and results are measurable, without implying live streaming data.
