A hospital's emergency power system is life-safety, and the facility has to show a surveyor it was maintained and tested. PowerOps runs the PM program on schedule, captures every reading in the field, and turns each load bank and transfer test into a record you can produce when someone asks.
When an inspector or an accreditation surveyor asks about the emergency power system, a binder of ticked boxes proves nothing without knowing who took the readings and when. PowerOps captures each PM, load bank, and transfer test as an attributed, timestamped entry written by a named technician — the history a facility team or a surveyor will accept without a follow-up phone call.
Configure the cadences and checklists the standard and the AHJ require, and PowerOps auto-generates the work orders with a due, coming-due, and overdue view and a 12-month forecast.
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 a surveyor, an inspector, or the AHJ asks for a unit’s maintenance history, you produce it on the spot instead of reconstructing it from paper.
The details a healthcare account holds you to — 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."
Each generator and ATS is a first-class record carrying make, model, serial, kW, fuel type, and install date, with a QR code and its full history — so "what has happened to this unit" is one place, for as long as you service it.
Technicians run a structured checklist on a phone and capture readings, photos, and serials against the unit. It works offline in a basement generator room and syncs when signal returns — no re-keying back at the office.

Scheduling and invoicing are table stakes. The part a hospital account actually holds you to — proving the emergency power system was maintained and tested — is the part generic tools leave to a spreadsheet.
A hospital treats its emergency power system as life-safety infrastructure, and the facility has to be able to show an inspector or an accreditation surveyor that the system was maintained and tested. That puts the weight on the record. PowerOps captures each PM, load bank, and transfer test as an attributed, timestamped entry written by a named technician against the specific unit — the kind of history a facility team or a surveyor can review without a follow-up call.
You configure them. The intervals and checklists for emergency power are set by the governing standard, such as NFPA 110, and by the authority having jurisdiction, and they vary by facility. PowerOps lets you build cadences and checklists to match what the standard and the AHJ require, then auto-generates the work orders and shows a due, coming-due, and overdue view with a 12-month forecast. It systemizes the diligence; it does not decide compliance for you.
Yes. The customer portal gives facility staff a read-only view of their own units and, if monitoring is enabled, their live status. They can see the state of their emergency power without being able to change your service records.
No. PowerOps does not decide compliance, replace the AHJ, or guarantee a survey outcome. What it does is systemize the diligence and hold the evidence: it captures the work as a permanent, attributed record and keeps every unit’s history in one place, so when a facility has to demonstrate its emergency power system was maintained and tested, the record is already there.
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 basement generator room or a below-grade vault. The reading lands on the unit the first time, with no transcription back at the office.
