Case Study: Cleveland Tubing, Inc. achieves predictive maintenance and improved ROI with eMaint

Cleveland Tubing uses eMaint Condition Monitoring for Predictive Maintenance

Cleveland Tubing, a Tennessee-based manufacturer of flexible, collapsible tubing (FLEX-Drain, PumpFlex), needed an easy-to-use CMMS to manage 326 pieces of equipment and shift from reactive to planned and predictive maintenance. They wanted to track labor and material costs, import meter readings (temperature, pressure, fluid levels, suction) to automatically trigger priority work orders, automate spare-parts replenishment, and measure KPIs toward a 90% planned maintenance goal.

In 2009 Cleveland Tubing implemented eMaint to track costs, set reorder points, and import condition data that generates priority work orders when readings fall outside set ranges. The system became their maintenance decision-support tool, automating replenishment reports, improving labor and inventory visibility, enabling better ROI allocation, and helping the team evolve to predictive maintenance with automated alerts and measurable KPIs.
