Communication and collaboration between maintenance/inspection teams and operations is always a challenge. Especially to insure operational effectiveness, safety, and compliance. However, important organisational and data silos still existing in different asset intensive industries. To fit these gaps, IBM Maximo Application Suite offering introduces an automatic and imbedded one-way bridge from inspection to operational dashboards to visualise all inspection alerts and their impact on operations. On the source side of this one-way bridge, IBM Maximo Visual Inspection, a revolution of inspection practices, puts the power of computer vision AI capabilities into the hands of quality control and inspection teams. On the target side, IBM Maximo Monitor, a modern IoT platform, helps bring asset monitoring solution to life through the power of AI and allows reaching a higher level of resiliency and sustainability in organisation’s operations. Using Maximo MVI and Maximo Monitor together will reduce considerably communication deadlines through automatic channels. Instead of waiting for inspection reports to be manually transmitted and build by data costly data analysts, MVI can automatically generate inspection insights based on AI models. Real-time access to this data by both operations and reliability engineers will accelerate decisions making and allows more efficiency in work planning and execution. Many use cases can be identified in asset intensive industries to use MVI and Monitor together for more streamlined processes. In this paper, we will present a use case that combines different complexity layers: remote monitoring, HSE constrains, multi-site organizations and risky inspections. By implementing this eco-system, organizations can leverage advanced analytics to predict failures, to maximize assets uptime, to optimize MTBF, and to reduce costs. Using IBM MVI and Maximo Monitor together will significantly eliminate organizational and data silos between the maintenance and operations teams. This will help reducing the information flow delays and ensuring a streamlined maintenance process.
