Empowering reliability leaders with Maximo’s predictive analytics
Next week in Orlando, FL, over a thousand asset management professionals will come together at MaximoWorld. We predict that the hottest topic on the agenda will be around predictive maintenance. By adopting predictive analytics to maintain your facility’s physical assets, your organization can see innumerable benefits. The greatest benefit is an increase in confidence around asset […]
Putting your asset data to use for condition-based maintenance
Given the complexity and the mission-critical nature of industrial maintenance, IoT technology alone cannot induce a step-change to condition-based maintenance. However, asset managers can take advantage of maintenance’s focus on continuous improvement to introduce technology that integrates IBM Maximo with existing asset data sources to set their teams on the path to condition-based maintenance with Fluke Connect2Assets. The Internet […]
Artificial intelligence lays the foundation of buildings of the future
With artificial intelligence integrated into building systems and IoT devices, buildings become more than their brick-and-mortar shells. They begin to operate in new ways, creating personalized experiences for their occupants, and providing energy and cost savings for their owners. In the report ‘Building intelligence into buildings’, the Institute of Business Value (IBV) explores the potential of buildings […]
Keeping it green: IoT for sustainable retail
Stuck for a New Year’s resolution? Shopping more sustainably might be a good one. Especially if you’re suffering pangs of guilt following a Christmas plastic binge (think Christmas cracker toys and disposable cutlery, for instance.) Sustainable retail means many things, from opting for responsibly farmed produce, to keeping an eye on your carbon footprint. And retailers […]
Army Re-Ups with IBM for logistics, savings and vehicle health
When the government saves money, we all win. Over the last four years, the U.S. Army has avoided about $15 million per year in operational costs by paying only for the cloud services it actually consumes. Working with IBM since September of 2012, this partnership has enabled the Army to create significant operational efficiencies across its […]
Optimize equipment reliability by listening to your data
The world is more connected than ever before. Using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, manufacturers are collecting large amounts of data from their machines but do not know how to optimize it. It’s as if their machines are speaking on mute. They have so much to say but we simply cannot hear them. To help […]
Top market pressures driving manufacturers to the IoT
There are pressures in every industry to move towards new technologies that enable increased efficiency and cost savings. It is no different in manufacturing. Manufacturers are historically risk-averse, which makes it more challenging to convince them of the need to take the leap into the era of cognitive manufacturing fueled by the Internet of Things […]
How to nurse a sick robot back to health
How do you know when a robot is feeling under the weather? You can’t tell when a robot is not well just by looking at it – you need to use data to help understand what’s happening. Today, for example, if I imagine all the robots on the floor at Hannover Messe are on an […]
Predictive maintenance is just one of IBM’s IoT for Manufacturing strengths
Many companies make a claim to the predictive maintenance market. Many more than you might imagine. In fact, IoT Analytics in its Predictive Maintenance Market Report 2017-22 has identified at least 110 technology firms that have worked on predictive maintenance implementations. These firms address various parts of the overall predictive maintenance solution – condition monitoring […]
The top 5 industrial IoT use cases
The industrial IoT has already proven its versatility with deployments going live in various enterprises, showing off dozens of different use cases. But a few key uses consistently present themselves within the same trade, and even throughout different industries. It’s important to note that Internet of Thing use cases will continue to expand in the […]
IBM and Vodafone join forces to improve Mobile Asset Optimization
The Internet of Things is having a major effect on delivery logistics through tracking and predicting asset movement throughout the supply chain, reducing loss, theft and replacement costs. Today’s asset-intensive organizations must constantly track, assess and manage the reliability of a wide range of physical, technological and human assets. These organizations must manage both inventory […]
