The cost of reactive maintenance

Your assets are smarter than your maintenance system, and the gap is getting expensive.

01

Unplanned downtime is your biggest line item

One hour of an idled plant can cost more than a year of CMMS licensing. And every fire-fight reveals the same root cause: a maintenance system that reacts instead of predicts.

02

Data lives in ten places. Decisions live in none

Work orders in one tool, IoT in another, asset history in a binder, spare parts in an ERP. Nobody can see the asset whole, so nobody can plan against it.

03

Engineers are aging out faster than knowledge transfers

Your most senior reliability experts are retiring. Their judgment cannot live on tribal knowledge and spreadsheets. You need the institution, not the individual.

Maximo vs. the old way

You don't need another CMMS.
You need a system of record for assets.

Most "asset management" tools are work order trackers in a browser. Maximo was built from day one for the engineers who keep refineries running, fleets moving, and grids on. It is the difference between logging maintenance and actually managing assets.

The Maximo Application Suite

Six applications.
One asset platform.
One license.

Maximo Application Suite is a single, containerised platform of asset apps that share a common data layer, security model, and AI engine. Turn on what you need today. Add the rest as your operation matures.

AppPoints licensing — flex capacity across modules

Manage

Work, assets, inventory, procurement.

Monitor

IoT, sensors, real-time asset health.

Health

Condition assessment and risk scoring.

Predict

ML models that forecast failures before they hit.

Visual Inspection

Computer vision for defect detection on the line.

Mobile

Native field apps for technicians, offline-ready.

How Maximo predicts failure

From sensor reading to scheduled work order, in one continuous loop.

01 — Ingest

Connect every asset signal

OT historians, SCADA, PLCs, vibration sensors, BMS — Maximo Monitor pulls them all into one live picture.

02 — Detect

AI flags the anomaly

Built-in ML models learn each asset's normal and surface deviations weeks before traditional thresholds would fire.

03 — Diagnose

Health scores prioritise the queue

Maximo Health combines age, condition, and risk to tell you which asset needs attention first, and which can wait.

04 — Act

Work order, ready to execute

Predict drops a fully scoped work order into the technician's mobile app, with parts, procedures, and history attached.

Ask the platform.
Get the answer your senior engineer would give.

Generative AI grounded in your asset history, manuals, and work order data. Technicians query in natural language — "what was the last failure mode on pump P-204?" — and get an answer with citations, not a search result.

Life on Maximo

Asset management stops being a cost centre, and starts being a competitive advantage.

Reactive becomes predictive

Failures get caught in the anomaly, not at the breakdown. The 3 a.m. call stops being routine.

Engineers stop chasing data

Everything an analyst needs — history, sensor trends, work history, risk score — sits on a single asset record.

Capital decisions get evidence

Repair-or-replace, life-extension, end-of-life — all backed by Maximo Health scoring instead of opinions.

Compliance becomes automatic

Audit trails, sign-offs, and regulatory reports drop out of the system you already work in. No parallel binder.
