Performance Data Snapshots
Share asset data leading up to alerts or events and quickly attach to work orders, service reports and more
Data Snapshots capture sensor data within a designated time frame. They can be manually created or automatically generated upon specified system events. Snapshots can also be added to service reports as evidence of service completion.
Usage-based Preventative Maintenance
Track asset usage and health to schedule service when it’s needed
Optimize preventative maintenance contracts by scheduling service based on asset usage or condition rather than fixed intervals, ensuring services are delivered only when necessary.
