MachIQ APM is a cloud-based plant maintenance and asset performance management platform from MachIQ Software Services AG, founded in 2016 in Basel, Switzerland. It was built for process manufacturing and food and beverage plants and combines CMMS functions, such as work orders, preventive maintenance scheduling, asset records and spare parts inventory, with asset performance monitoring. Technicians use it in a browser on desktop or mobile devices. The company now operates as Facterra, and machiq.com redirects there; Facterra presents its software as maintenance execution for renewable energy sites and data centres.
Where a connection exposes the relevant objects, the MachIQ APM MCP lets an agent answer questions that would otherwise take several reports. A maintenance planner asks which preventive work orders on one production line are overdue. A reliability engineer has the agent compare recent meter readings for a pump with its maintenance triggers to see when the next service falls due. A storekeeper checks stock items for the spare parts that this week's work orders need.
You sign in through Makini Link, then paste the MCP endpoint Makini issues into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another MCP client, and get_connection_details shows which objects and fields that connection offers. Write actions work only where the connection and the user's permissions allow them, so connect with an account limited to the plants it needs. Because the product has been renamed and its focus has shifted, confirm with your administrator which version your site runs before relying on specific fields.

MachIQ APM's maker now operates as Facterra, and machiq.com redirects to facterra.ai, but Facterra's site does not mention MachIQ and no official rebranding announcement was found. Facterra describes its software as a maintenance execution and evidence platform for renewable energy O&M and data centres, while MachIQ APM was built for food and beverage and process plants. Confirm with your vendor contact which product your site runs.
MachIQ APM is web-based SaaS, and Capterra lists it for Android and iPhone/iPad as well as the browser, so technicians can work from a tablet or phone on the shop floor. Because the vendor hosts the system, an MCP connection through Makini needs no access to your plant network. The vendor's own MachIQ pages are no longer online, so confirm current app details with your vendor contact.
Capterra lists predictive maintenance, inspection management, asset tracking, asset lifecycle management, maintenance scheduling and customizable reports for MachIQ APM, next to work orders, preventive maintenance and inventory. Which of these your site uses depends on its setup. Where a connection exposes inspection data, an agent can match failed checks from recent rounds with open work orders, so findings do not go without follow up.
MachIQ APM keeps a service history per asset, so a technician can see past work orders, repeat failures and parts used before starting a job. Where a Makini connection exposes assets and work orders, an agent can summarize that history for one filler or pump in a few lines. Asset names follow each plant's own setup, so ask for the machine the way your team names it.
Yes, Makini provides an MCP server for MachIQ APM. You sign in through Makini Link, Makini issues one MCP endpoint and a token scoped to that login, and you add the endpoint to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another MCP client. The same endpoint reaches other systems you connect through Makini, so an agent can, for example, compare MachIQ APM work orders with purchasing data from your ERP.
What a MachIQ APM connection exposes is shown by calling get_connection_details, which lists the objects and fields available to your login. Makini's tool list includes work orders, work requests, stock items, meters, meter readings and maintenance triggers, among others, but the list is shared across systems, so not every tool maps to MachIQ APM data. Build questions only on objects the details confirm.
Only where your MachIQ APM connection exposes it and the connecting user may create work orders. Makini's tool list includes create_work_order and create_work_request, and get_connection_details shows whether they apply. Start with reading, then let the agent draft corrective work orders from inspection findings for a planner to review and release. Makini logs every call, so you can check what the agent requested.
A MachIQ APM admin should create a dedicated user for the agent instead of sharing a planner's login, limited to the plants and asset areas it needs. Check that this user sees the work orders, assets and inventory your questions depend on, since missing rights look like missing data. Also confirm which product and version your site runs, given the company's move to the Facterra name.
