Backup generators are the ultimate insurance policy for facility operations, designed to perform instantly when the grid fails. Yet, studies show that 20-30% of standby generators fail to start during an emergency due to dead batteries, fuel degradation, or neglected maintenance. Managing these critical assets requires more than occasional test runs; it demands a rigorous, code-compliant asset master workflow that tracks every component of the Emergency Power Supply System (EPSS).
Oxmaint’s Asset Master Workflow for generator teams digitizes the entire lifecycle of backup power management. By automating NFPA 110 inspection schedules, tracking fuel and battery health in real-time, and centralizing load bank test records, facility managers ensure their "insurance policy" pays out when needed. Teams using Oxmaint achieve 99.99% start reliability and eliminate the compliance risks associated with paper logbooks. Start free to secure your backup power infrastructure.
Generator Management Challenges
Maintaining an EPSS involves more than checking the oil. Facilities face complex challenges in fuel management, environmental compliance, and testing documentation.
Oxmaint transforms disconnected generator data into a cohesive asset strategy. Schedule a demo to modernize your power systems management.
EPSS Asset Features
From the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) to the fuel tank, Oxmaint monitors every component required to keep the lights on. Start free to build your generator asset list.
Battery Health Monitor
Battery failure is the #1 cause of generator start failure. Track specific gravity, charging voltage, and expiration dates automatically.
Fuel Management
Track diesel fuel levels and quality. Schedule annual fuel polishing and tank testing to prevent sediment clogging injectors.
Run Hour Analytics
Automate oil changes and filter replacements based on actual run hours rather than just calendar dates for optimal performance.
ATS Integration
Manage the Automatic Transfer Switch as a critical child asset. Document weekly exercise cycles and annual contact inspections.
Cooling System
Monitor jacket water heaters to ensure immediate startup capability. Track coolant changes and hose conditions to prevent overheating.
Compliance Logs
Automatically generate NFPA 110 compliant reports including engine data, exhaust temps, and oil pressure readings from every test run.
Ready for the Next Power Outage?
Ensure your generators start every time with Oxmaint's Asset Master Workflow.
Generator Fleet Dashboard
Monitor the readiness of all emergency power assets across your facility campus or multiple sites from a single pane of glass.
Asset Master Logic Flow
Automate the critical path from scheduled exercising to long-term reliability documentation.
Onboard
Register generator specs (kW, Voltage, Phase) and set baseline parameters for oil pressure and coolant temp.
Schedule
Auto-generate NFPA 110 weekly visual checks and monthly load tests (30% nameplate rating).
Test & Log
Technicians record start times, transfer times, and gauges via mobile. Or, IoT integration logs data automatically.
Verify
System validates run time against requirements. If metrics drift (e.g., low oil press), a work order is triggered.
Cost of Failure vs. Maintenance
Generators are sunk costs until the power goes out. Then, they are priceless. Proper asset management ensures the investment pays off.
