What is EAM?

UpKeep is an Asset Operations Management solution that gives every Maintenance and Reliability team the tools and information they need to run Operations efficiently and effectively.

Enterprise asset management (EAM) is the combination of processes, software, and services a company uses to maintain its physical equipment. The goal of an EAM practice is to help maintenance teams maximize their assets for a more cost-effective operation—increasing equipment uptime, reducing unnecessary downtime, optimizing maintenance operations, and extending equipment lifetime.

Modern companies make EAM processes more effective by using devices connected to the internet—or industrial internet of things (IIoT) devices. These tools, paired with AI and advanced analytics, collect data from connected equipment to help track and better understand each asset's health, quality, and needs.

With or without IIoT, EAM tools were born out of a need to manage and maximize the total cost of ownership of a company's assets more efficiently. Businesses traditionally used other systems (e.g., CMMS, MRP, ERP, etc.) to address production and manufacturing issues. But these tools lacked the holistic capabilities of an EAM, which can manage an entire asset lifecycle from acquisition to decommissioning.
