ServiceMax adapters provide communication between Predix Essentials and a ServiceMax system.

Predix Essentials and ServiceMax Interaction

After installing and configuring the ServiceMax adapters, use Predix Essentials to initiate and track work to be done for assets managed by a ServiceMax system. Consider the following example of Predix Essentials and ServiceMax interaction:

  • A Predix Essentials user creates a Recommendation Record in Predix Essentials.
  • The Recommendation Record results in a Notification record that is sent to the ServiceMax system.
  • The receiving system creates a Service Request Record from the Notification record that the ServiceMax administrator uses to create work orders.
  • A technician updates the work order in ServiceMax after completing the work indicated by the work order.
  • The Predix Essentials user runs the Work History job that extracts information from the ServiceMax Service Request record and updates the Work History records in Predix Essentials.
