Why Choose Oxmaint

Benefits for Power Plant Managers

Maximize Generation Availability

Predictive maintenance can reduce maintenance costs by up to 40% while improving equipment availability. Prevent forced outages that cost power generators significant revenue in lost generation and market penalties.

Ensure Worker Safety

Power plants involve high-voltage systems, confined spaces, and high-temperature equipment. Comprehensive LOTO, permit, and safety documentation protects workers and ensures OSHA compliance.

Optimize Planned Outages

Coordinate maintenance activities during scheduled outages with multi-crew scheduling and critical path tracking. Reduce outage duration and return units to service faster.

Real Results from Power Plants Using Oxmaint

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Oxmaint supports the complete power generation asset hierarchy including gas turbines (frame and aeroderivative), steam turbines, hydro turbines, generators (air-cooled and hydrogen-cooled), boilers, heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers, cooling towers, condensers, pumps (boiler feed, cooling water, condensate), compressors, fans, and all balance-of-plant equipment. Our asset hierarchy supports tracking from plant level down to individual components like bearings, blades, and seals.

Oxmaint triggers maintenance tasks based on actual operating metrics that align with OEM recommendations. For gas turbines, this means scheduling combustion inspections based on equivalent operating hours (factoring in starts and trips), hot gas path inspections at defined intervals, and major overhauls at recommended hours. For steam turbines, maintenance triggers based on operating hours for valve inspections, bearing replacements, and major overhauls. This approach ensures maintenance happens at the optimal time—not too early (wasting resources) or too late (risking failures).

Oxmaint provides comprehensive outage planning capabilities including work order bundling for planned outages, multi-crew scheduling across internal teams and contractors, parts and materials coordination, safety permit management (LOTO, confined space, hot work), and progress tracking during outage execution. The system helps coordinate complex outage activities to minimize duration and return generating units to service faster.

Yes, Oxmaint's mobile app features offline-first functionality designed for power plant environments. Technicians can complete inspection rounds, log equipment readings, create work orders, and capture photos in turbine halls, boiler areas, switchyards, and remote plant locations even without network connectivity. Data syncs automatically when connection is restored, ensuring no information is lost.

Yes, Oxmaint provides API-based integration capabilities for connecting with plant historian systems, SCADA, vibration monitoring platforms, and enterprise systems like SAP and Sage. This enables operating hour data to flow automatically for runtime-based maintenance triggers, condition monitoring data to inform maintenance decisions, and financial integration for maintenance cost tracking.
