Kepware and MaintainX

Overview

The Kepware integration connects your PLCs, sensors, and industrial control systems to MaintainX. By streaming tags through the Kepware IoT Gateway, you can automate meter readings, trigger work orders, and monitor asset health in real time—empowering your team to shift from reactive to proactive maintenance.

Pre-built connector, built and managed by MaintainX.

Key features

  • Stream Kepware tags directly into MaintainX meters
  • Trigger automated work orders from real-time machine data
  • Auto-create meters when new tags are discovered
  • Configure custom workflows for alerts and maintenance actions

How it works

  2. In MaintainX, create a Kepware instance and generate an access token (unique per instance). 
  3. In Kepware, create a REST Client Agent using the MaintainX endpoint and add your access token.
  4. Map machine tags to MaintainX meters. Use Smart Tag Mapping to streamline setup.
  5. Stream real-time machine data into MaintainX to turn alerts and metrics into actionable maintenance.
