FAQ
How can maintenance work be triggered from MachineMetrics data?
Work requests or work orders can be triggered directly from the MaintainX Meters module, and you’ll have the ability to customize your own meter triggers.
How frequently can data be sent between MachineMetrics and MaintainX?
Data can be sent as quickly as every 10 seconds; however, most clients configure the integration to send data every hour or every day.
