Generator maintenance software that knows every unit at every site — down to the NFPA-110 due date.

01  The standby-power data model

Every generator, every site, on one record — down to the NFPA-110 due date.

Most FSM tools treat a generator like a job line item. FieldCamp models it as a Generator as a Serviced Asset — manufacturer, serial, kW, voltage, and OEM warranty expiry on one record.

Beneath it, the Automatic Transfer Switch, fuel tank, and battery live as nested custom objects, not a generic Equipment row. The generator record shows each role its own layout, and the OEM warranty — Cummins, Generac, Kohler — sits on the record with the startup PDF. Run hours aren't native; they ride along as a custom field.

02  NFPA-110 cadence, built into the unit

Weekly, monthly 30/30, semi-annual, and annual load bank — auto-generated per generator.

NFPA-110 Chapter 8 is a four-cadence treadmill — weekly visual, monthly 30-minute exercise at 30% load, semi-annual PM, annual two-hour load bank. FieldCamp's Recurring Jobs engine auto-generates every one, per generator.

Each visit runs on a Job Form with required photos and a signature gate — auto-attached to the Generator PM Job Type — and guardrails stop the tech from closing until every field is captured. No one-click NFPA-110 report button — the signed PDFs in the per-site Drive folder become your binder.

03  The install project, phase by phase

From site survey to AHJ wet-witness — every phase, every permit, on one job.

A standby generator install is a multi-week, permit-gated project — survey to pad pour to AHJ wet-witness. FieldCamp wires the whole sequence as a multi-day job — separate visits per phase, one parent record.

The Permit object lists Generator as a type with an Applied → Approved → Inspection → Closed lifecycle, and stage guardrails make the wet-witness step a real gate, not a hope — no placard photo and AHJ signature, no Closed. Job Types save the install template, all on the request → estimate → job → invoice backbone.

04  The OEM warranty channel, untangled

Generac, Kohler, Cummins, Briggs — one record per claim, four portals out.

Generac PowerPro, Cummins Care, Kohler OnCue — every OEM has its own portal, and FieldCamp doesn't replace any of them. It organizes the claim packet on the unit: a Warranty record with provider, plan, dates, and the startup PDF.

A Workflow fires 30 days before expiry — a documented pattern — to email the customer and draft the renewal. Hierarchical skill matching puts only Cummins-certified techs on Cummins claims, and the photos, claim form, and RMA live in the site's Drive folder, AI-searchable. Portal submission still happens in the OEM's app.

05  Outage Night

Storm hits, ATS A1 transfers — and the on-call mechanic is already inbound.

When Generator B-2 picks up Mercy's critical loads, the call lands in the unified inbox — phone, SMS, or forwarded CMMS email. The AI Dispatcher ranks on-call mechanics by Cummins cert level, distance, and load.

Drew, the L3, is paged with a 1-tap ETA link — Mercy facilities watch his truck cross the city.

06  On the pad

NFPA-110 inspection form on the tablet — even in a basement utility room.

Drew completes the NFPA-110 inspection checklist on his tablet — runtime hours, exhaust temp, battery, fuel level, ATS transfer test. Run hours are logged manually.

The form works offline in Mercy's basement utility room and syncs when he climbs back up — every reading, photo, and signature lands on Generator B-2's service history.

07  Failed ATS · multi-option quote

Repair, refurbish, or replace — customer e-signs in 90 seconds.

ATS A1 fails its monthly transfer test. Drew opens an estimate with three options — repair, refurbish, or replace — pre-priced from the pricebook.

Mercy facilities e-approves Option B via digital signature, and the refurb Job auto-creates for next Tuesday.

08  The PM flywheel

Weekly, monthly, semi-annual, annual — NFPA-110 cadence auto-scheduled.

Every standby generator runs a published cadence — weekly visual, monthly exercise, semi-annual fluids, annual load bank. FieldCamp's Recurring Jobs auto-generates each Visit on the right cadence.

When a visit completes, the next one auto-schedules — no spreadsheet, no missed PM, no NFPA gap at the next AHJ inspection.

09  Storm surge

200 generators hit at once — triage, dispatch, contain.

A regional outage drops 200 standby generators into emergency duty across BlueRoad's 9-site portfolio. Facility-CMMS calls aggregate in the Inbox via email forwarding.

The Command Center triages by SLA tier — hospitals first — routes by service area, and lights up the dispatch board across every available tech, back-up bench included.

10  Portfolio view

One BlueRoad account, 9 sites, 80 generators — one record set.

Legacy FSM tools force "one customer per site." FieldCamp's Customer → Site → Asset hierarchy holds one BlueRoad parent with 9 child sites, each carrying its own assets.

The multi-location data model rolls revenue, AR, and PM compliance up to portfolio level — and into a customer portal facility ops can self-serve from.
