Why Pay More for the Same Wrench? Tractian Beats Top CMMS Providers by 15%
Every CMMS promises the same basics: work orders, mobile app, preventive maintenance, parts management, and now AI. Those are the table stakes. If the core functionalities are nearly identical, why would you pay a higher price? The truth is that most platforms charge a premium for features that should be the standard. Predictive insights, multi-site visibility, and customization aren’t extras anymore, they’re requirements for keeping modern facilities running. And yet, many maintenance teams ar

Get Every Repair Right with AI SOPs + Document Analysis
Improve first-time fix rate maintenance by giving every technician the exact, approved steps for each asset, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and quality in repair execution.

Turn Rookies into Pros with AI SOPs + Document Analysis
A new hire steps onto the floor and finds three versions of the same procedure. One lives in a vendor PDF. One is a photo of a whiteboard. One is a hand-scribbled note in a binder. Senior techs are busy and can’t hand-hold the rookie. Questions pile up, first-time fixes fail, and downtime demands attention in the form of rework. With 74% of companies reporting a shortage of skilled workers, teams are filling gaps with rookies who need clear guidance at the machine, not after the fact. Shadow t

Why Our AI Is Better
Every vendor in the maintenance and reliability space says their system uses AI. But that claim doesn’t mean much unless it actually takes work off your team’s plate. Here’s the reality: if you are monitoring these machines, they are most likely critical, and no matter how good these solutions claim to be, trust doesn’t come easy. Most teams still verify every alert manually with handheld tools like vibration guns or 2140s, because they’ve learned the hard way that not all insights are worth

What is Asset Utilization?
Asset utilization measures how effectively a company uses its assets to generate revenue. Simple, right? In an industrial context, assets include machinery, equipment, tools, and even human resources — and how well the company uses them. The interpretation behind this metric is plain-and-simple: A high number indicates that these assets are being used efficiently to produce maximum output, while low asset utilization suggests underuse or inefficiencies. In a factory plant, the assets can be:

So, how do you keep the music playing? Traditionally, the answer involved a lot of legwork — constant check-ups, a watchful eye on gauges, and hoping for the best. But the industrial landscape is changing its tune. Enter Remote Equipment Monitoring (REM), a technological shift that’s more than just keeping a
