Case Study: CAREL achieves group-wide standardized maintenance with Accruent’s Maintenance Connection

How CAREL Standardized Maintenance Across Plants with Maintenance Connection

CAREL, a global manufacturer of HVAC control solutions founded in Italy, grew through multiple plants and acquisitions and faced fragmented maintenance practices: limited cross-site visibility, non‑standardized schedules, weak analytics, and inefficient inventory management.

In 2023 CAREL rolled out Maintenance Connection CMMS—after a pilot and a seven‑month rollout with One Team and Accruent—covering seven plants, 4,000+ assets and 500+ maintenance plans. The solution standardized maintenance plans group‑wide, improved visibility and scheduling (with MES integration to reduce failures and downtime), lowered maintenance costs, optimized spare‑parts sharing, and set the stage for added spare‑parts management, skill matrices and AI‑driven insights.
