Maximo Application Suite
Aging transmission lines, substations, transformers, and other critical infrastructure require high maintenance and capital investment to prevent outages.
Maximo Manage (Asset Management)
Tracks asset age, condition, and performance across the lifecycle.
Lifecycle Costing
Helps prioritize investment in asset replacement vs. continued maintenance.
Digital Twin Capabilities
Simulate asset performance and degradation to support planning.
Maintaining grid stability and minimizing downtime during storms, peak loads, or equipment failures.
Incident & Outage Management
Prioritize and dispatch resources during service interruptions.
Work Order Automation & Escalation Rules
Ensure quick response and tracking for grid-related faults.
Condition Monitoring (Maximo Monitor)
Continuously assesses asset health using real-time data from SCADA and IoT systems.
Energy providers are heavily regulated, requiring stringent safety protocols, audit trails, and environmental compliance.
