Hilton Head, SC — October 2025
At the Fall South Carolina Engineering Conference, held earlier this month in Hilton Head, Mr. Daniel Eubanks, Vice President of Engineering at Edisto Electric Cooperative in Tennessee, presented how MinMax eSMART has become a cornerstone of Edisto’s substation asset management and maintenance program.
Addressing an audience of over 80 utility operations professionals and vendors, Mr. Eubanks shared Edisto’s journey in adopting MinMax eSMART to streamline operations and bring consistency to asset management, inspections, and maintenance.
“We were looking for an out-of-the-box solution that just works—something that doesn’t require handholding from consultants or vendors, can be owned and operated by our substation technicians, and gives us complete visibility into our assets and data,” said Mr. Eubanks. “With MinMax eSMART, we found exactly that—and much more.”
Transforming Operations Through MinMax eSMART
Before implementing MinMax eSMART, Edisto Electric faced challenges familiar to many utilities: fragmented data, manual inspections, and lack of visibility into maintenance trends. Mr. Eubanks emphasized that with MinMax eSMART, these challenges were replaced by an efficient, procedure-driven, and data-informed operation.
Edisto now manages all key aspects of asset management through MinMax eSMART—including:
- Asset tracking and documentation (serial numbers, age, warranty data, maintenance schedules)
- Recurring inspections and maintenance trends
- Spare equipment tracking and work order management
- Historical data analysis for predictive insights
Empowering Technicians
Mr. Eubanks highlighted that MinMax eSMART’s intuitive interface allows substation technicians to manage assets and inspections directly, with minimal training or IT involvement. The ability to search, filter, and compare past data instantly—such as transformer pressure or oil temperature readings—has enhanced both accuracy and accountability in field operations.
“Our users are extremely happy with MinMax eSMART—they consider it part of their daily work life,” he said. “The flexibility to edit, import, or export data anytime makes it an incredibly useful tool.”
Affordable, Reliable, and Supported
In closing, Mr. Eubanks commended MinMax Technologies for delivering a cost-effective, customer-focused, and technician-driven solution that continues to exceed expectations.
MinMax Technologies appreciates Mr. Eubanks and the Edisto Electric team for sharing their success story and demonstrating how MinMax eSMART’s simplicity, flexibility, and reliability are redefining asset management across electric cooperatives in North America.
