Embark on your journey to asset management excellence by targeting zero defects and downtime in manufacturing processes
Boost operational efficiency with integration and ease
Streamline operations by addressing unplanned outages, poor maintenance strategies and inefficient inventory management within complex asset lifecycles and production processes. Empower your operations, quality control and maintenance teams with tools that connect siloed data and integrate multiple technologies, providing end-to-end visibility into production lines and asset health, and supporting consistent quality standards.
For decades, IBM Maximo has enhanced manufacturing operations for automative, aviation, consumer products, electronics, industrials and life sciences with superior asset lifecycle and production management. The IBM Maximo Application Suite, as an all-in-one asset lifecycle management tool, offers advanced capabilities in enterprise asset management (EAM), asset performance management (APM) and reliability-centered maintenance (RCM). It accelerates your journey toward zero defects and downtime while optimizing performance and reliability.
Analyze historical and real-time data to optimize equipment health, prevent failures and streamline condition-based maintenance and schedules.
Use asset health and performance data to help operations, maintenance and finance personnel in improving their decision-making processes and audit outcomes for production management such as scheduling, decommissioning and new investments.
Deploy low-code and no-code capabilities for advanced planning and scheduling that add AI-enabled remote asset monitoring, predictive maintenance and visual inspection to your existing production lines.
Improve energy efficiency, reduce the carbon footprint and waste in plants and create a safer environment for employees with positive outcomes to your bottom line.
