What's New in Asset Essentials?

Smarter Preventative Maintenance

We are excited to introduce a new powerful integration between Smart Assets and Asset Essentials (AE). This update automates the collection of critical equipment metrics, such as run hours, by syncing Smart Asset sensor data directly with AE meter titles once per day. This means:

  • No more manual data entry for technicians - freeing up time for higher-value tasks.

  • Improved accuracy in meter readings - reducing the risk of human error.

  • Reliable preventative maintenance scheduling - based on actual equipment usage, not estimates.

By connecting the sensor data and leveraging AE's Preventative Maintenance module, administrators can ensure maintenance is triggered precisely when needed. This helps extend asset life, reduce downtime, and maintain compliance with operational standards.

 

With this enhancement, asset managers gain greater confidence in their maintenance programs and more control over resource planning and equipment performance. Refer to Adding a Meter Title to learn more.

This newly added Central Reporting Hub, the one-stop shop where access to canned reports of all data types (e.g., Work Orders, Assets, Parts/Inventory, etc.). This release also provides access to a handful of key reports covering insights related to work order management, preventative maintenance tracking/planning, labor costs, and inventory transactions.

Security Enhancement - Allowed Email Domains for Self-Registration
