Rockwell Automation’s Fiix CMMS Delivers 54% Maintenance Cut and $40K Savings
Perth County Ingredients cut reactive maintenance by 54%, reduced after-hours calls by 47% and saved over $40,000 annually with Rockwell Automation’s Fiix CMMS integration. After two-week PLC integration, the tool automated alerts on vibration, temperature and torque, driving a threefold return and prompting rollout across seven more facilities.
1. Implementation at Perth County Ingredients
Rockwell Automation deployed its Fiix CMMS and Fiix Asset Risk Predictor at Perth County Ingredients, integrating tablets and mobile work orders with upgraded facility Wi-Fi. Majik Systems connected PLCs directly to the CMMS in two weeks, enabling automated real-time data capture on machine-health indicators without manual entry.
2. Dramatic maintenance cost and downtime reduction
Since implementation, PCI has cut reactive maintenance by 54%, reduced after-hours call-ins by 47%, and saved over $40,000 annually, achieving a threefold return on investment. Automated alerts based on vibration, temperature and torque thresholds have lowered pump and bearing failures and shifted labor to proactive tasks.
3. Multi-site rollout and future condition-based strategy
The successful results prompted the rollout of Fiix CMMS across seven additional facilities, centralizing multi-site oversight. PCI now leverages Asset Risk Predictor for early-warning indicators, enabling predictive interventions to maximize uptime and protect product quality.
