IBM Maximo Health

What is Maximo Health?

By using Maximo Health, you can consolidate operation, asset, location, and maintenance data to gain insight into asset and location performance and to optimize preventive maintenance and, for assets, complete replacement planning. You can increase trust in your data by reviewing assets that have potential data quality issues, and you can configure asset and location scores to drive efficiency, optimize cost, and reduce risk.

For more information about how to deploy the application, see Deploying Maximo Health.

For more information about how to get started with the application, see Getting started.

Gain insight into asset and location performance

Use the data that you already rely on to analyze performance and take action. You can review your assets' and locations' current condition and history. You can use the provided views to track asset and location issues, such as high-cost locations or assets that have overdue work orders, on a table or from a map. You can focus on the performance indicators that matter to you by saving combinations of display settings, searches, filters, and queries as private views. You can select an asset or location to review other details, such as the health score, criticality score, and remaining useful life (RUL).

For assets and locations that are in an active status, you can take action to improve performance by creating work orders or service requests. For assets, you can also add flags for major action, such as decommissioning, or to indicate bad actors.

Complete replacement planning

Assets that are flagged for refurbishment or replacement or that have an expected end of life that is within two years, you can use either the Expected life view or Plan costs view to start the replacement planning process. Review the expected life of the asset or current plan costs over the next five years, open the asset, and then use the Create plan action to create the plan.

Increase trust in your data

Use work queues to take action and improve the quality of your assets' details and related data. Work queues group assets, such as assets that are missing installation dates or replacement costs so that you can identify and resolve data quality issues or low health.

Drive efficiency, optimize costs, and reduce risk

Configure scoring elements for assets' and locations' health, criticality, and risk to plan more efficient and effective maintenance, optimize costs, and reduce risk. You can configure different score calculations for different groups of assets or locations, and you can use Maximo formulas as the basis for the calculations.

Configure effective age and end of life scoring

Configure effective age scoring to describe the current age of an asset or location relative to the current condition of the asset or location. You can also configure end of life scoring to describe the current probability of an imminent end of life failure. If the end of life curve predictive model is configured for an asset, you can enable the results of the model to contribute to the end of life score for that asset.

Use score calculations from IBM Watson Studio

Instead of manually building score calculations in the industry solution, you can connect a scoring group to an IBM Watson® Studio notebook, including the default asset-class specific notebooks. The health, risk, criticality, end of life, or effective age score calculations that are configured in that notebook are automatically added to that scoring group. For more information, see Asset class notebooks.

View containers on the map

In addition to assets and other types of locations, you can view containers on the map. A container is a type of location that represents a group of assets and other network elements, such as regions, feeders, or circuits. Use the Assets layer to show and hide assets and containers on the map. Select a container on the map to view the average scores for assets in that container.

Dissolved gas analysis (DGA)

In transformer-type assets, a new Dissolved gas analysis section is available. The section contains the Duval triangle card and the History of combustible gas analysis card. You can use the Duval triangle card to review DGA samples and the percentages of methane, ethylene, and acetylene in each sample. You can use the History of combustible gas analysis chart to review a history of samples and the condition rating of each sample.

Before you can use the cards, your data scientist must configure the notebook to support the settings and then the notebook must be connected to a group on the Scoring and DGA settings page. For more information, see Getting started as a data scientist.

Optimize investment to meet your objectives

Create investment projects from the Assets page and then generate optimized investments for assets in the project based on unique investment strategies. Compare and contrast the costs, schedules, and resulting risk scores if each strategy was implemented. When you're ready to start scheduling or reviews with your investment planner, export strategy details as a .csv file. For more information, see Configuring an investment project.

Access to a Common Information Model (CIM)

A CIM is a standard model for reporting and exchanging electrical supply network information. The CIM for Health and Predict - Utilities includes standard information for logical resources, separation of logical resources from physical asset data, containers, connectivity, locations, and measurements. To use the CIM, you must load data by using IBM App Connect Enterprise. For more information, see Loading data by using IBM App Connect Enterprise.
