For maintenance & reliability leaders

Every Site's Maintenance & Reliability, From Reactive to Planned

Catch failing equipment while there's still time to plan the repair, send the work order straight to your CMMS, and roll out what works site by site. FlowFuse connects your equipment to your maintenance and reliability teams.

Fewer Breakdowns, Without a Bigger Maintenance Budget

Production wants the machines running. Finance wants the budget held. And your boss wants to hear about a problem when it starts, not after something breaks. Here's what changes with FlowFuse:

  • Downtime

    Fewer surprise breakdowns

    Equipment drifting out of range raises a warning early, so more repairs go on the schedule and fewer on the breakdown list.

  • MTBF

    Maintenance based on condition, not the calendar

    PM effort follows what the equipment is actually doing, so your teams spend their hours where the wear is.

  • MTTR

    Shorter repairs

    Work orders carry the readings that triggered them, so repairs start with the facts, not a diagnosis.

  • Cost

    A maintenance budget with a return you can show

    You can set each avoided breakdown against the lost production and repair it would have cost, and give finance the numbers it asks for.

What FlowFuse Adds to Your Maintenance & Reliability Program

The condition data, warnings and work orders your plants are missing, built on the equipment and CMMS you already run.

Connect Every Plant's Equipment

Condition data from the equipment you already own.

Older machines, OEM equipment and new lines alike, connected without changing PLC programs or replacing anything.

  • Siemens, Allen-Bradley, OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT and 5,000+ other integrations
  • Readings from sensors you add where equipment has none
  • No rip-and-replace, no new controllers

Warnings Your Teams Trust

Limits set by your own reliability engineers.

The people who know each asset decide what abnormal looks like, so warnings mean something and nuisance alarms don't wear down trust.

  • Limits and trends on the signals that come before failure
  • Warnings routed to the right team at each site
  • One tuning change applied everywhere

Straight Into Your CMMS

Warnings become planned work orders.

When a limit is crossed, a work order lands in the maintenance system your teams already use, with the evidence attached, so planned work grows and data entry doesn't.

  • Works with SAP PM, IBM Maximo, Infor EAM, MaintainX, Fiix or whichever CMMS you run
  • No double entry for technicians
  • Every failure and its cause logged for root-cause review

One Asset Type First, Then Every Site

Prove it at one plant, then make it your standard.

Start with the equipment that costs you most. Once it proves itself, the same monitoring goes to every plant that runs it, managed centrally.

  • Rolled out by site, line or asset type
  • Updates pushed remotely, without a site visit
  • Each site's limits kept in its own settings
Manage every site remotely

Your Team Keeps the Machines Running. We Help With the Rest.

Your people are already stretched between breakdowns and PMs. We work alongside them from the first asset, so monitoring never becomes another job on their list.

  • We set up the first one with you

    Our engineers connect your first asset type, set the warning limits with your reliability engineers, and get the first work order into your CMMS. Platform and Certified Node support is covered by an SLA.

  • Your team learns to run it

    Your engineers build alongside ours and come away able to add the next asset type themselves, without needing a data team.

  • We stand with you in the IT review

    We answer security's questions with you: cloud, self-hosted or air-gapped, single sign-on, audit logs, and SOC 2 Type I and Type II certification.

What Customers Have Done With It

Results FlowFuse customers and partners have published.

  • Hours, not months

    to connect a new production unit at Walter, with the IT team it already had

  • Half a shift

    of every shift spent driving to remote pumps at Paloma, until automated alerts ended the routine visits

  • 24/7

    health monitoring across hundreds of critical substation nodes at Energinet, run by a small operations team

  • 7 sites

    running one micro-stop detection application at a food producer, built once and deployed centrally

Maintenance & Reliability FAQs

Start With the Equipment That Costs You Most

Pick the asset type whose failures cost most across your plants, prove it at one site, and send the first warnings into your CMMS. Once it has caught its first failures, roll it out to every site that runs it.
