Hi All, I was just wondering if anyone on here could recommend CMMS packages that they have had good experience with. Trying to vet out different options and ultimately would like to have a CMMS system that integrates well with Ignition. I tend to use MySQL for my Ignition databases. Not sure if that would make a difference on the CMMS selection. Thanks in advance for any feedback, -Will ---

You could make your own CMMS with Ignition. ---

Thanks Nick! Yeah I’ve thought about that. At the moment I don’t have the time to put in all of the features that we are looking for in a CMMS solution (I work on Ignition part time). I was hoping that there might be some CMMS packages out there that others have had good experience with. If anyone has any good 3rd party CMMS recommendations, I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks, -Will ---

We use a stand alone system called Express Maintenance. It has worked well over the years. [expresstechnology.com/mainte … aintenance](http://www.expresstechnology.com/maintenance-software/expressmaintenance) ---

WillMT10, did you ever move forward with anything on this? I realize this is a very old post but I am now in the same position looking to find something that integrates with ignition. Thanks for any information. Mark ---

The Ops team ended up moving forward with Maintenance Connection. Personally, I would not recommend going this route. Not very user friendly. I know the team wants to switch to a new solution once our contract is up for renewal. ---

Hi @Mark.Davis, I was planning to build one form scratch based on perspective and upload it to the exchange. But this will not be before second quarter of 2024 since there is a lot of work to do. But i more than happy to listen to your needs and try to fit to this resource. Regards Arnaud ---

Thanks guys for your handy tools , Do you think this brilliant CMMS Demo is enough to replace Maximo CMMS on client side , Or this is a basic one ? Regards, ---

All depends on the functionalities that you or customer need. This CMMS is quite basic but: - It integrates well with Ignition - Is open source, so you can change add functionalities - Easy access to PLC/Device data to trigger maintenance do analytics If you can share with us your need we can guide you further 🙂 Regards ---

Many thanks. I also wanted to mention that last month, MaintainX and Inductive Automation launched an integration for automated maintenance. You can find more information here: 1- [Ignition Third-Party Module Showcase](https://inductiveautomation.com/moduleshowcase/module/maintainx-maintainx-ignition-integration) 2- [Ignition Module - Setup and Configuration Guide | MaintainX Help Center](https://help.getmaintainx.com/sensor-connect/setup/ignition-module#download-the-maintainx-ignition-module) They offer a free basic setup that can perform similar functions to your Ignition project and can be scaled up in the future at an additional cost.
