It covers key benefits and available integration types (Ignition, Kepware, and MQTT), and it provides setup guides for each integration.
About OT Data Connectors​
OT Data Connectors help you protect your assets from failure by giving maintenance teams real-time, actionable machine insights and automations. With OT Data Connectors, you can set up integrations that use real-time equipment data to trigger maintenance, optimize predictive maintenance programs, and reduce downtime.
Key capabilities include:
- Mapping devices and sensors to assets to unlock real-time insights.
- Getting more data into MaintainX and using it with entities such as assets, meters, and other devices.
- Better understanding the condition of your assets so you can take action, develop more efficient maintenance plans, and reduce business costs.
Key Benefits:
- Reduce downtime and maintenance costs by performing work only when needed.
- Improve visibility into equipment status, health, and performance, helping you catch issues before equipment fails.
- Connect devices and get high-quality connected equipment data into MaintainX.

OT Data Connector Types​
OT Data Connectors provide the following integrations:
- Ignition: Set up the MaintainX module on Ignition, and stream real-time tag data into MaintainX to power condition-based maintenance, insights, and alerts.
- Kepware (IoT Gateway): Set up a Kepware IoT Gateway REST Client to transmit real-time tag data into MaintainX.
- MQTT (On-premise): Set up an on-premise agent that subscribes to an MQTT broker to stream the MQTT data into MaintainX.

The following integration setup guides are available:
