Looking Back: Fiix @ Automation Fair 2024

It’s hard to believe it’s already been three months since the Fiix team journeyed down to Anaheim, CA for Automation Fair 2024, the world’s largest event dedicated to industrial automation.At this year’s expo, Fiix had its strongest showing yet. Among four days filled with seminars, tours, and demos, we were proud to pack our session to standing-room only for Generac’s Predictive Maintenance Journey: Leveraging Fiix. We’ll be sharing more about that session in the community soon, so stay tuned! In the meantime, you can catch up on Generac’s maintenance journey with Fiix in this webinar: And be sure to check out some of the free on-demand videos from this year’s Automation Fair, including the keynote by Rockwell Automation CEO Blake Moret: More sessions can be found on the official site here.We hope to see you and your team at the Fiix booth later this year for Automation Fair 2025! We’ll be sharing details about that event as they’re finalized.

5 ways AI will benefit maintenance teams in 2024

Following up my recent post on the 9th annual State of Smart Manufacturing Report, let’s focus on one of the most important industry trends to emerge: artificial intelligence (AI).

And not just business benefits--human benefits.So check out our article below to find out five ways we think AI will benefit maintenance teams in 2024 (and beyond!). Read now Is your maintenance team using or planning to use AI in 2024?Let me know in the comments down below.

The Field Inspection: Customer success stories (part 1)

Back in October 2023, we held our 3rd annual user conference, Fiix Forward, in Nashville, Tennessee. The conference wasn’t just our chance to tell you about what we’ve been doing as a company, but it’s true purpose was to give you, our community, a chance to feel heard, seen, and understood.  As part of that promise, we conducted interviews, where individuals like you shared their maintenance troubles, triumphs, and resilience that led to their success. Those stories have been captured and will be shared with our customers in hopes that others will be inspired. With that being said, we are excited to share our first two videos of the series:  JJ McDonnell Co. Inc, a leader in seafood processing and distribution, was busy trying to keep operations afloat before Fiix. In that line of work, every minute of downtime spells disaster, products spoiling, deliveries delayed, and resources wasted.Thankfully, @MgarnerJJ has been hard at work implementing the Fiix CMMS. In a short period of time,

The Field Inspection: Customer success stories (part 2)

Building on our field inspection stories, where industry professionals just like you share their maintenance challenges, victories, and the perseverance that paved their path to success, we bring you part 2 of the interviews conducted at Fiix Forward!We hope these stories can spark inspiration for all Fiixers, regardless of where you are in your journey. Daikin ComfortJoel is an excellent motivator, successfully leading his team through the process and organizational challenges that come with new software.  Before implementing Fiix the team was challenged with incomplete data sets and manual parts tracking. This left them with huge gaps in reporting financial spending, making capital and maintenance planning hard.  Luckily Joel and his team found solace in the Fiix CMMS. He stressed that Fiix helped the team get into the habit of tracking things in the CMMS. He mentions that knowing everything about the machine, like how much time is spent on repairs, how many parts are being consumed,

Better safe than sorry: How to improve health and safety with maintenance softwareMAINTENANCE TIPS

This article was written by Marc Cousineau. Safety first. It’s a term you’ve probably heard, and said, thousands of times. And for good reason— the safety of your team is incredibly important. Even minor accidents can have a profound impact on everything from productivity and morale, to the environment and individual lives, and lead to injuries, fines, lawsuits and more.An overreliance on reactive maintenance is a major cause of accidents in many production environments. In fact, one study found that corrective maintenance leads to twice the number of accidents than preventive maintenance. Establishing a preventive maintenance strategy is one way for maintenance teams to take control of their time, resources and money to reduce the likelihood of accidents.Although every maintenance manager would say it’s a top priority to improve health and safety, implementing preventive maintenance is not an easy goal to accomplish amidst a flurry of work orders, overseeing technicians, formulating r

The link between maintenance and a more sustainable worldMAINTENANCE TIPS

This article was written by Katie Allen, Fiix Alumni. Katie’s article remains very much relevant today as we celebrate Earth Day, and take action as individuals and organizations to look at our world through an environmentally-conscious lens.  Waste. Garbage. Rubbish. Litter. Trash. Excess. These concepts are relatively new in our modern world. Waste was often synonymous with barren land and had nothing to do with disposal. Garbage — the act of throwing something away — was introduced in the early 1900s. Now, it’s a regular part of life— we buy, we use, and then we throw away. This is so common that we have entire waste management systems with teams of people and machinery dedicated to our garbage. This used to be my job. I would advise the public on where to put items when they were ready to throw it out. I would pick through big, black garbage bags on gruelling hot days, dissecting, weighing, and sorting what people threw out. I helped divert hazardous and electronic waste from enter
