Spartakus APM: Fall 2025 Release Highlights

Continuous improvement is at the heart of our mission to make industrial reliability smarter, simpler, and more impactful. Each new feature is designed to help maintenance and reliability teams gain clearer insights, make faster decisions, and drive measurable results.

In this latest update, Spartakus APM introduces a series of enhancements across compliance, reporting, and visualization, each built to bring greater accuracy, transparency, and efficiency to your daily operations. From refined compliance calculations to advanced failure detection analytics and improved reporting tools, these updates empower teams to better understand their performance, strengthen accountability, and optimize their reliability programs.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s new and how these features can transform the way you manage asset performance and compliance.

Compliance Entries Affecting Chart Points

The Compliance entries affecting chart points feature enhances visibility and understanding of compliance performance over time. When a user clicks on a point in the Compliance Over Time chart, the Compliance by Route table automatically highlights and sorts all routes that contributed to that date’s compliance score.

These entries appear at the top of the list, marked with a visual indicator for quick identification. The point selection can be cleared at any time by clicking the button located below the chart.

Problem It Solves

Previously, users had limited visibility into what caused a specific compliance or lateness score on a given date. This made it difficult to pinpoint which routes affected performance. With this new feature, route planners can immediately identify the exact routes contributing to a date’s score, saving time and improving diagnostic accuracy.

Key Benefits

• Instantly see which routes impact a specific compliance score.
• Quickly identify potentially problematic routes or recurring issues.
• Simplify compliance verification and performance review.
• Maintain clarity when investigating compliance trends over time.

Who It’s For

This feature is designed for route planners and compliance reviewers who need to analyze compliance data and understand the root causes of performance variations.

Where to Find It

You can access this functionality in Routes Management → Routes Compliance.
It’s also available at the individual route level, where the historic route table keeps entries sorted by planned date for consistency and clarity.

Tips

At the route level, the feature behaves slightly differently to preserve historical order, ensuring that planned dates remain intuitive and easy to follow during review.

New Compliance Stats: Failure Detection and Completion Rates

The New Compliance Stats: Failure Detection and Completion Rates feature introduces deeper performance insights into route compliance. It displays the average route completion, failure detection rate, and task-based failure detection rate, at the route, site, and task levels.

This allows users to quickly understand not just how much work is being done, but how effective that work is at detecting real issues.

Problem It Solves

Until now, compliance analysis primarily focused on activity indicators such as completion and lateness. However, these metrics didn’t show how impactful inspections were in identifying potential failures.

This new feature bridges that gap by revealing:

• At the route level: How individual routes compare in terms of completion and failure detection performance.
• At the site level: Aggregated averages that show the overall health and effectiveness of inspection programs.
• At the task level: Which inspection tasks are truly effective at catching failures early.

Key Benefits

• Provides a clearer link between compliance and reliability impact.
• Helps identify high-performing routes and tasks that contribute most to early failure detection.
• Enables maintenance and reliability teams to focus on inspections that deliver real value.
• Combines activity-based metrics (completion) with outcome-based metrics (detection).

Who It’s For

Designed for route planners, maintenance managers, and reliability engineers who need to answer critical questions such as:

• “Are our inspections actually detecting failures before they escalate?”
• “Which routes or tasks are driving early failure detection?”
• “Do high completion rates translate to meaningful reliability outcomes?”

Where to Find It

You can explore these new metrics in Routes Management → Routes Compliance.
Each level—site, route, and task—offers tailored visibility to support both strategic oversight and operational decision-making.

Tips

This feature complements existing compliance and lateness metrics, offering a more complete view of maintenance performance by connecting activity levels with tangible impact on asset reliability.

Improved Historic Compliance Calculations

The Improved Historic Compliance Calculations feature refines how Spartakus APM evaluates route and task compliance. Every day, compliance is automatically recalculated for each route, now using enhanced logic that accounts for new route statuses to ensure more accurate and meaningful performance results.

Two key additions improve calculation precision:

• Missed: When a route is not executed within its planned date plus its defined frequency, it is now marked as missed. Any completion beyond that window is evaluated against the next scheduled planned date.
• Outside Planning: Routes completed before their planned date are considered outside of planning. These do not count toward compliance but still contribute to metrics such as completion and failure detection rates.

Problem It Solves

In previous versions, extremely late routes were often still categorized as “late” rather than “missed,” leading to misleading compliance figures. This improvement helps users:

• Understand why compliance percentages appear low.
• Differentiate between genuine missed executions and simple delays.
• Interpret compliance KPIs with greater accuracy and confidence.

Key Benefits

• Improved accuracy: Compliance calculations now reflect the true execution performance of routes.
• Better transparency: Users can clearly see whether low compliance is due to lateness or missed routes.
• Smarter decision-making: Reliable data supports better planning, prioritization, and accountability.
• Enhanced reporting: KPIs and dashboards now align more closely with operational reality.

Who It’s For

This update is designed for route planners and compliance auditors who rely on accurate data to assess performance, identify execution gaps, and make informed scheduling or follow-up decisions.

Where to Find It

The improved compliance logic applies across Routes Management → Routes Compliance, automatically affecting both route-level and aggregated compliance calculations.

Tips

Use the “Compliance-impacting entries only” toggle to focus on entries that directly affect compliance scores. Entries marked as Outside of planning or scheduled outside of the selected date range (displayed in grey) are excluded from compliance calculations but remain visible for context.

See Inactive Hierarchy Elements from the Asset Health and Maintenance Strategy Dashboards

The See Inactive Hierarchy Elements feature enhances visibility directly within the Asset Health and Maintenance Strategy dashboards. Users can now immediately identify which hierarchy elements are marked as inactive, without needing to open the Edit Hierarchy modal. A clear visual indicator highlights inactive assets, making it easier to interpret data at a glance.

Problem It Solves

Previously, users, especially those with read-only access, had no simple way to see inactive elements in the asset hierarchy. This created blind spots when reviewing dashboards or analyzing asset performance. The new visual cue removes that limitation, providing transparency and improving the overall user experience.

Key Benefits

• Improved visibility: Instantly see inactive hierarchy elements directly in the dashboards.
• Time savings: No need to open additional modals to confirm asset status.
• Accessibility: Read-only users can now identify inactive assets.
• Faster, better decisions: Teams can assess data more accurately and act with confidence.

Who It’s For

This improvement benefits all Spartakus users, from planners and engineers to managers, by providing a clearer view of the asset hierarchy within critical dashboards.

Where to Find It

• Asset Health → Dashboard
• Maintenance Strategy → Dashboard

Tips

Inactive elements are now visually indicated within the dashboards, allowing users to detect them immediately without leaving their current view.

Routes Results Report

The Routes Results Report feature allows users to generate a PDF report showing the results entered by technicians for specific routes within a selected date range. This report provides a clear historical record of what was inspected, measured, or noted during each route execution, making it easier to review past activities and validate field data.

Problem It Solves

Previously, results included in the Asset Health report could span beyond route-specific data, showing entries added between selected dates even if they weren’t linked to a particular route. This made it difficult to isolate and review route-based inspection results.
With the new Routes Results Report, users can now focus exclusively on data tied to defined routes, ensuring more accurate and relevant reporting.

Key Benefits

• Focused visibility: Review only the results directly associated with specific route executions.
• Historical traceability: Access a clear record of what technicians entered for any past route.
• Better decision support: Quickly validate inspection data and ensure accountability.
• Improved reporting accuracy: Eliminate confusion between general asset data and route-specific results.

Who It’s For

Designed primarily for plant managers and maintenance supervisors who need to monitor inspection activities, validate field inputs, and maintain a reliable audit trail of completed routes.

Where to Find It

Go to Reports → Routes Report, then select the Routes Results option to generate the report for your chosen date range.

Tips

Use this report to cross-check inspection completeness or confirm task execution quality over time. It’s ideal for compliance audits, performance reviews, and data validation exercises.
