MaintainX, an AI-powered CMMS and EAM platform for maintenance and asset management, today announced an integration collaboration with Inductive Automation, creator of the Ignition industrial application platform. The integration turns equipment data from sensors and control systems into automatic maintenance actions, solving a common problem where disconnected systems prevent technology from delivering results.
The new MaintainX Ignition Module allows Ignition users to connect SCADA data to MaintainX to automate alerts, monitor conditions, and generate work orders in real time. The module provides system integrators and end-users with a clear path to adoption and scale.
The integration automatically creates work orders based on equipment run time, fault codes, and sensor readings—eliminating manual monitoring processes and reducing unplanned downtime through proactive maintenance scheduling. Maintenance teams gain visibility into machine status, downtime events, and failure reasons directly within MaintainX workflows, ending the need to toggle between multiple systems for critical equipment insights.
The integration leverages Ignition's ability to collect and contextualize data from industrial systems, automatically pushing actionable insights to MaintainX to create a unified data flow from operational technology to AI-powered work execution. This eliminates the common pain points of limited insight into machine failures, slow response to alarms, notification fatigue from multiple systems, and lack of clarity on maintenance timing.
The collaboration addresses three critical use cases:
- Condition-Based Maintenance: Automatic work order creation when equipment conditions like temperature or vibration exceed safe operating parameters.
- Usage-Based Maintenance: Automatically schedules maintenance based on runtime or production cycles, minimizing the inefficiencies of fixed calendar-based scheduling.
- Enhanced Fault Tracking: Real-time capture and logging of equipment failures with automatic status updates and downtime reason tracking.

"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, VP of systems and operational services at Roeslein & Associates, a design-build contractor and systems integrator that has implemented both platforms.
The integration accelerates maintenance maturity initiatives without requiring extensive custom development, enabling organizations to implement condition-based and usage-based maintenance strategies immediately. The pre-built integration requires minimal technical expertise while delivering enterprise-grade reliability and scalability.
