*OT data connectors are an add-on feature. For details, contact your MaintainX® representative.
Operational Technology (OT) data connectors enable real-time equipment data integrations that improve maintenance, reduce downtime, and optimize asset management. These integrations include fully managed connectors (ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS®) and self-managed connectors (Ignition®, Kepware®, and MQTT), each with its own setup guide.
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 have two delivery models:
- Fully managed integrations: MaintainX manages the full data pipeline on your behalf, including both the hardware and the software. ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS is a fully managed integration.
- Self-managed integrations: You manage your own OT hardware and software, and MaintainX provides the connector that streams your existing data into MaintainX. Ignition, Kepware, and MQTT are self-managed integrations.
OT data connectors are available for 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: Set up a Kepware IoT Gateway REST Client to transmit real-time tag data into MaintainX.
- MQTT: Set up the MaintainX On-Premise Agent (OPA) that subscribes to an MQTT broker to stream the MQTT data into MaintainX.
The following integration setup guides are available:
