Advantages of Asset Management with the IBM Maximo Application Suite

With our support, you can optimise the use of the IBM Maximo Application Suite to get the maximum out of your company assets. This allows you to optimise maintenance processes and avoid downtimes.With the leading technology from IBM, you get access to customisable Computerized Maintenance Management System applications (CMMS applications), EAM– and Asset Performance Management applications (APM applications). This enables simplified installation and management in addition to an improved user experience through graphical visualisation with shared data and workflows.

Maintenance strategies can be implemented comprehensively and the best strategy mix of preventive and reactive measures can be mapped with a single solution. In this way, IBM Maximo helps you to increase the performance and lifetime of complex systems.

Consisting of six core management modules, IBM Maximo Asset Management is the solution needed to optimise the performance of each individual asset.

The six modules are:

ASSET MANAGEMENT

WORK MANAGEMENT

SERVICE MANAGEMENT

CONTRACT MANAGEMENT

MATERIAL MANAGEMENT

PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT

Implementing maintenance strategies with IBM Maximo

Many companies are still strongly focussed on reactive and preventive maintenance strategies. This means that machines often run until problems occur. Or maintenance staff rely on simple time-based or counter-based maintenance plans.

To maximise the potential of their assets, it is essential that companies work to implement predictive maintenance. We will support you on this journey to predictive maintenance, no matter what maintenance strategy you are currently pursuing.

Find out more about how the introduction of the IBM Maximo Application Suite can support you in this challenge.

Manage - Reduce downtime and costs of your assets over the entire life cycle

Manage is the central application in the IBM Maximo Application Suite for managing your assets and other relevant data and processes. You can organise everything in Manage, from equipment, maintenance plans and fault messages to contracts and procurement processes. It provides a comprehensive view of all company assets in production, buildings, transport and IT, laying the foundation for predictive maintenance.

Thanks to numerous successful customer projects in maintenance, our employees not only have in-depth process knowledge, they also have in-depth technical expertise in the IBM Maximo environment. We are the perfect partner to accompany you on this journey

Maximo Monitor – Get real-time information about your system statuses

Use Maximo Monitor to obtain information and data from your IoT platforms and collect it in an application. The data for monitoring can be easily analysed - either through AI-supported anomaly detection, analysis services or other special models. The results of this analysis can then be clearly displayed in dashboards and you can define customised rules and maintenance plans as required

Advanced and scalable AI-supported remote monitoring of your company's assets increases their availability and enables the implementation of condition-based maintenance strategies. Monitoring is a crucial step on your journey to predictive maintenance.

Maximo Health – Monitor the health of your assets on an ongoing basis

Maximo Health helps you to better understand the condition of your assets. Use insights from IoT data from sensors, data sets and logs to improve availability and optimise processes. The clear dashboards provide a clear view of the current status of your assets - the perfect basis for forward-looking and early operational decisions.

Maximo Monitor & Health allows you to focus on the right assets. This allows you to increase plant availability and avoid unnecessary maintenance measures. You are also supported in the decision-making process for replacement investments.

Maximo Predict - Improve fault predictions through data-driven measures

Maximo Predict enables you to accurately predict future faults in systems and processes. By applying machine learning and data analyses, you can create accurate predictions. The powerful capabilities of IBM Maximo and Watson Studio form the basis for data-driven decisions and advanced predictive modelling.

Benefit from significant cost savings and avoid faults before they occur. This leads to increased system availability and thus to an increase in production output. In addition, you ensure customer satisfaction by relying on more reliable operating processes and higher product quality.

Studies: EAM-Software in use

The contribution of EAM software to the business success of companies with intensive asset requirements has already been scientifically analysed. The study “The Business Value of IBM Maximo” (2022) by IDC Research on behalf of IBM concludes that the interviewd companies achieve average annual benefits of USD 14.6 million per organisation through IBM Maximo by, for example

improve asset management, avoid unnecessary operational costs and increase overall EAM efficiency,
improve the productivity of asset management and field service teams by utilising the best available technology,
enable the transition from outdated/manual processes to more efficient operations through automation and other more sustainable features,
and minimise unplanned downtime and avoid disruptive events and equipment failures.

The Verdantix study “Green Quadrant: Enterprise Asset Management Software 2022” on the market leaders revealed that the market for EAM software is evolving through a series of acquisitions and investments by private equity companies.

This market dynamic is being driven by a new focus on cost savings, the digitalisation of maintenance strategy programmes, the consolidation of digital systems and sustainability.

The spend on EAM software is expected to increase, with vendors seeking to differentiate themselves through increased mobile and portable functionality, rapid deployments and predictive maintenance strategy analytics.
