Fiix Review 2026: AI That Tells You What to Fix First

Updated October 16, 2026 – Tested Intelligence

Quick verdict: Fiix is Rockwell Automation’s CMMS, and its AI is aimed at the planner’s hardest question: of everything broken or drifting, what do we fix first? Its Foresight features rank work by repair priority, predict which assets are riskiest and forecast parts needs, learning from your own work-order history. The catch: the AI analytics are add-ons rather than the base product, the deepest predictive features plug into Rockwell’s sensor and FactoryTalk ecosystem, and the top tier is quote-priced.

What it is

Fiix, founded in 2008 and acquired by Rockwell Automation in 2020, is a full CMMS: work orders, PM scheduling, asset management, parts and inventory, calibration management, a multi-site hierarchy and an offline-capable mobile app. It integrates with SAP and other business systems and exposes an open API.

The AI layer, sold under the Foresight name, works on the data your CMMS already holds. Its AI engine blends work-order records – and, where connected, sensor readings and parts data – into a Repair Priority Index that ranks assets and refreshes through the day. The Asset Risk Predictor scores which assets are likeliest to fail from their history, Parts Forecast warns where stock-outs are coming, and Work Order Insights flags incomplete or duplicated work orders. A generative-AI feature summarises reports into plain language you can then question.

Above that sits Fiix Prescriptive Maintenance, covered by Reliable Plant at its launch: IIoT vibration and temperature sensing (including Rockwell’s Allen-Bradley Dynamix hardware) feeds anomaly detection, and the system generates prescriptive work orders with tasks, parts and labour estimates. The vendor’s example case caught a pump coupling misalignment roughly 30 days before failure.

Key features

  • Repair Priority Index ranks what to fix first from work orders, sensors and parts data
  • Asset Risk Predictor flags the assets likeliest to fail, from work-order history
  • Parts Forecast predicts stock-out risk before it strands a job
  • Work Order Insights catches incomplete, duplicated or ambiguous work orders
  • Generative-AI summaries turn reports into plain-language answers
  • Prescriptive Maintenance option adds IIoT vibration sensing with auto-generated work orders
  • Full CMMS core with multi-site hierarchy, calibration and SAP integration

Pricing

Fiix publishes its core rates on its own site: there is a free version (not a trial – it does not expire and needs no credit card), Basic at $45 per user/month, Professional at $75 per user/month, and Enterprise at custom pricing for larger teams. Training, implementation, integration and premium support cost extra, and Fiix offers a pricing calculator for an all-in quote. Model the AI pieces separately when you budget: the Foresight analytics and Prescriptive Maintenance, with its sensor hardware, are add-on territory rather than part of the base CMMS price.

Who it’s for

Manufacturing maintenance and reliability teams – especially plants already running Rockwell and Allen-Bradley controls – that have a year or more of work-order history for the AI to learn from. Planners drowning in backlog get the most: the priority ranking turns a gut-feel argument into a scored list.

Who should skip it

Small shops that want the AI without add-on costs – Foresight and Prescriptive Maintenance sit above the base plans, and services like implementation cost extra again. Also teams with thin or messy work-order history: the AI ranks and predicts from your data, so garbage history means garbage priorities until the data is cleaned up.

Pros

  • The AI answers a real planning question instead of decorating a dashboard
  • Learns from work-order data you already have – sensors are optional, not required
  • Rockwell backing, integrations and a deep sensor ecosystem
  • Prescriptive work orders include tasks, parts and labour estimates

Cons

  • Enterprise tier and AI add-ons are quote-priced; services such as implementation cost extra
  • The best predictive features lean on Rockwell hardware and FactoryTalk tools
  • AI quality depends on the quality of your work-order history
  • Foresight and prescriptive features are add-ons, not the base product

FAQ

Does Fiix’s AI need sensors?

Not for the Foresight analytics – those learn from work-order, parts and asset history. The Prescriptive Maintenance option adds IIoT vibration and temperature sensors for live condition data.

How much does Fiix cost?

Fiix lists Basic at $45 per user/month and Professional at $75 per user/month on its own site, with Enterprise custom-priced. There is also a free version that does not expire.

Is Fiix part of Rockwell Automation?

Yes. Rockwell Automation acquired Fiix in 2020, and it now sits alongside Rockwell’s FactoryTalk maintenance offerings.

Bottom line

Fiix is the planner’s pick: a proven CMMS whose AI ranks the backlog, flags risky assets and warns on parts, with a genuine prescriptive-maintenance upgrade path if you instrument machines. Just bring clean work-order data – and budget for the AI add-ons on top of the base plans.
