In a mission-critical facility the standby plant is part of the availability design. PowerOps keeps the whole fleet in view, runs the PM program on schedule, and turns every load bank and transfer test into a record you can actually produce when someone asks.
A binder full of ticked boxes proves nothing when the question is who took the readings and when. PowerOps captures each PM, load bank, and transfer test as an attributed, timestamped record written by a named technician — the kind of history a facility team, an insurer, or an auditor will accept without a follow-up phone call.
Status, fuel level, battery voltage, output kW, and active alarms across every monitored unit — with a critical alarm able to open an emergency work order on its own.
Load %, duration, voltage and frequency, transfer times, observations — captured in the field and written to an append-only record tied to a named user and a server timestamp.
When the facility, an insurer, or an AHJ asks for the maintenance history of a unit, you produce it on the spot instead of reconstructing it from paper.
The details a data-center program lives or dies on — captured as structured data on the unit, not free-text notes on a closed job.
Schedule and document load bank results to the percent and duration the governing standard calls for, with pass/fail criteria captured against the unit — not a note that says "ran fine."
Track transfer and re-transfer times, switch-position verification, and the exercise log per unit and per automatic transfer switch, so a measured event stands behind every "it transferred."
Cummins, Kohler, and Generac integrations plus generic Modbus and SNMP feed the same system that holds the service history — so a trending battery or a low tank turns into scheduled work before it turns into a failed start.
Each generator, ATS, and the switchgear around it is a first-class record carrying make, model, serial, kW, fuel type, and its full history — so "what has happened to this unit" is one place, for as long as you service it.

Scheduling and invoicing are table stakes. The part a data-center account actually holds you to — proving the standby plant was maintained and tested — is the part generic tools leave to a spreadsheet.
A data center treats its standby plant as part of the availability design, not a box in the yard. That raises the bar on two things: knowing the real-time state of every unit, and being able to prove the maintenance and testing actually happened. PowerOps covers both — live fleet monitoring plus an attributed, timestamped record of each PM, load bank, and transfer test that a facility, an insurer, or an auditor can review.
Cummins Connected Solutions, Kohler OnCue, and Generac Mobile Link are supported through webhook receivers, and generic Modbus TCP, SNMP, and cellular-modem payloads cover older or non-OEM equipment. The live fleet dashboard shows status, fuel level, battery voltage, output kW, and active alarms per unit.
Yes. The customer portal gives facility staff a read-only view of their own units and monitoring. They see the state of their emergency power without being able to change your service records.
No. The testing and maintenance cadences for standby power are set by the governing standard and the authority having jurisdiction, and they vary by facility. PowerOps lets you configure cadences and checklists to match what the standard and the AHJ require, and it captures the work as a permanent record. It systemizes the diligence; it does not decide compliance for you.
Technicians work from a structured checklist on a phone, capturing readings, photos, and serials against the specific unit. Field entry works offline within a stage and syncs when signal returns — which matters in a switchgear room or a below-grade vault. The reading lands on the unit the first time, with no transcription back at the office.
