IBM Maximo Asset Management is an enterprise
asset management (EAM) software solution product produced by IBM. It is a
solution which is used to operate, maintain and dispose of enterprise assets.
It focuses on the following types of assets:
·
Plant
and production (for example oil, gas, chemicals, mining, manufacturing,
pharmaceuticals, food, electronics and power generation)
·
Infrastructure
(including railways, highways, telecommunications, water and wastewater, and
electric and gas distribution networks)
·
Transportation
(for military, airlines, trucking, shipping, rail and other use)
·
Real
estate and facilities (for example, in offices, schools and hospitals)
·
EAM
is globally known to be critical in asset intensive industries, i.e.,
utilities, oil & gas, pharma., rail & transit, heavy manufacturing, and
facilities including hospitals, campuses and hotel.
The current release, IBM Maximo Asset Management 7.5, is the
third release built upon a J2EE Service Oriented Architecture. It is an Enterprise Asset
Management, Service Management and IT asset management suite of applications that are scalable and easily
integrated into existing Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) systems.
The purpose of
Enterprise Asset Management is to extend the useful life of capital assets.
There are many other reasons why the demand for better asset management is on a
rise -- organizations are increasingly raising the importance, risk, quantity
and/or cost of their corporate critical or capital assets, and hence they often
see a corresponding rise in interest by management to better maintain control
and visibility of all these assets.
Furthermore, governments, regulatory bodies, shareholders
and other key stakeholder groups have increased the pressure on organizations
in both the public and private sectors to be able to locate and track asset
whereabouts. The higher the risk or opportunity cost in not knowing where an
asset is located, the greater the incentive for management to implement an
asset tracking system. Industry leaders are using technology as a competitive
advantage. Every maintenance and operation budget consists of major categories
such as MRO inventory, labor costs, and unplanned downtime, which results in
reactive spending, impacted asset utilization and capital expenditure on
equipment that needs to be replaced because of wear.
Having Smarter Infrastructure is all about
having more flexible infrastructures which can deliver insight, recommendations
and can optimize asset usage across the enterprise; whether it is locomotives,
bridges and roadways, universities, hospitals, retail stores. Today’s
progressive organizations have embedded chips, sensors, RFID, GPS and other
forms of instrumentation and intelligence to transform the way their business
services are delivered.
