IBM ’ s EAM Services

IBM brings the Maximo
Application Suite , which is a suite of software products that provide an end-to-end solution for maintaining equipment , from managing a maintenance organisation to predicting equipment health and failure as well as prescribing solutions for technicians . Our consulting team also has deep industry expertise and brings best practices in asset lifecycle management . - Skip Snyder , Senior Partner , IBM Global Business Services
“ For example , conditions-based maintenance is replacing time-based maintenance . Rather than doing an inspection or repair every few months or on a set schedule , insights from operational data and analytics can predict asset failure . This ensures the assets needing attention get it at the right time , improving reliability and optimising maintenance . Remote monitoring capabilities enable continuous anomaly detection . Asset performance is continuously tracked and evaluated by artificial intelligence ( AI ), which can trigger alerts based on indicators like flatline conditions and abrupt changes in sensor readings .”
