Touchstone and Octave at Maintec: Powering Asset Performance Through Smarter Maintenance Management

Octave

For the second consecutive year, Touchstone is proud to be exhibiting at Maintec — the UK’s longest-standing exhibition for predictive maintenance, reliability, and asset management. 

Taking place on the 3rd and 4th June, the show brings together experts, leaders, and innovators shaping the future of asset-intensive operations. This year, we’re returning with more to show, including the latest developments in Octave Attune (formerly HxGN EAM and HxGN APM), our cloud-based enterprise asset management solution built to help organisations extend asset life, improve maintenance efficiency, and reduce unplanned downtime. 

Powering Asset Performance Across Asset-Intensive Industries 

Touchstone has a long-standing track record of helping asset-intensive organisations maximise asset performance, streamline operations, and enhance financial control. At the heart of that track record is Octave Attune — a solution we’ve implemented across renewable energy, oil and gas, ports, transportation, and beyond. 

Clients like Nortera have used Octave Attune EAM to unify equipment and maintenance data across 13 food processing facilities spanning Canada and the United States, breaking down silos and standardising operations at scale. CERN rely on it to manage over three million physical assets — from superconducting magnets in the Large Hadron Collider to everyday infrastructure across its 700-building campus, where any unscheduled downtime directly costs scientific progress. These are organisations where asset performance is critical, and downtime carries real consequences; Octave Attune EAM gives them the unified, data-driven visibility to stay ahead. 

Demonstrating Smarter Maintenance Management with Octave Attune  

Octave Attune is designed for organisations where asset performance is mission-critical, and downtime carries real cost. 

Built for renewable energy, oil and gas, utilities, transportation, facilities management and any asset-intensive organisation, it equips maintenance and operations teams with the intelligence to move from reactive to predictive — improving reliability, extending asset life, and protecting the bottom line. 

The platform covers the full operational picture: 

Maintenance Management — Maximise asset efficiency and minimise downtime across all maintenance types: preventative, corrective, and predictive. 

Asset Tracking & Inventory Management — A single, real-time view of every asset specification, location, usage, condition, and value. 

Work Order Management — Automated scheduling and assignment of maintenance tasks, so the right engineer gets to the right asset, at the right time. 

Risk & HSE Compliance — Built-in tools to manage regulatory compliance, health and safety standards, and environmental obligations. 

Asset Lifecycle & Performance Management — KPI-driven performance tracking across the full asset lifecycle, from commissioning to decommissioning. 

Financial & Cost Management — Full visibility of asset costs, maintenance spend, depreciation, and ROI to strengthen budgeting and planning. 

Investing in Octave Attune isn’t just a technology decision — it’s a strategic one. Organisations that make the shift unlock performance improvements across the entire enterprise and build a maintenance operation that is safer, more resilient, and built to last.

Catch Our Team in the Maintenance Theatre 

Wednesday, 3 June | 13:00–13:20 Bringing Disconnected Asset Data into a Modern, Ready-to-Use Platform Speaker: Syed Bokhari 

Fragmented data across multiple systems is one of the biggest barriers to efficient, safe maintenance. Syed will show how asset-intensive organisations are consolidating their CMMS and CAFM systems into a single, trusted platform — and what that means for maintenance decision-making, safety, and long-term performance. 

Thursday, 4 June | 11:30–11:50 Mobile Maintenance Practices That Cut Downtime and Keep Complex Assets Running Speaker: Mark Thompson 

Mobile-first maintenance is no longer a nice-to-have. Mark will demonstrate how real-time monitoring and mobile EAM tools are transforming field operations — cutting work order bottlenecks, improving technician responsiveness, and delivering quantifiable gains in uptime and safety.”

Sustainable Finance: Why the Energy Sector Must Look Beyond Reporting—and How Octave Attune EAM, Formerly HxGN EAM, Supports the Shift

Sustainable finance has evolved from a peripheral concern to a core driver of strategic decision-making in the global energy sector. Investors, regulators, and communities now demand more than sustainability commitments—they require operational evidence.

Drawing on our extensive experience in the Energy sector, we can review your system and revive it, with optimised and integrated processes, to provide a firm foundation for expansion and ensure that it meets your business needs.

Regulation of all of the systems within your organisation - governance and business processes, time management, money management (including accounting and tax obligations) - is key to a successful project, and to a professional environment generally.
