Case Study: Electro Cycle achieves a 30% increase in planned maintenance with MaintainX

How Electro Cycle Increased Planned Maintenance
30% with MaintainX

Electro Cycle, part of Metal Exchange in Madisonville, KY, is a high‑volume aluminum recycling and can‑making partner that was hamstrung by an outdated, custom CMMS with little documentation or visibility. Maintenance Manager Josh Morse selected MaintainX — a modern, mobile operations and maintenance management CMMS (using a 30‑day MaintainX Premium trial) — to replace the legacy system and enable standardized preventive maintenance, asset tracking, and easier communication.

MaintainX was rolled out to create and monitor work orders, build a complete asset database, link parts and vendor/warranty info, digitize SOPs, and centralize team communication. The results were measurable: preventive maintenance rose 30% (shifting preventive:reactive from 40:60 to 70:30), Electro Cycle has completed 6k+ work orders and averages ~400 work orders per month (5,300+ PM work orders logged), 130 major assets cataloged, 3,000+ parts tracked, and streamlined vendor/warranty workflows — improvements that increased equipment reliability, production yield, and enabled a pilot predictive maintenance program.
