LONDON, UK, June 25, 2024 – BPD is excited to share that IBM has announced the launch of Maximo Application Suite (MAS) version 9.0. While not a major release, this latest version introduces IBM's regular annual version release schedule alongside a range of advanced tools and capabilities—new to the suite—designed to enhance operational efficiency and support digital transformation for asset-intensive organizations...
The new IBM Maximo Application Suite 9.0 brings forward a suite of innovative features, including enhanced AI-driven predictive maintenance, a redesigned user interface for improved usability, and expanded IoT integration for real-time asset monitoring and data analytics.
Key Features of IBM Maximo Application Suite 9.0:
- AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance: Utilizes advanced AI algorithms to predict equipment failures and optimize maintenance schedules, reducing downtime and operational costs.
- User-Friendly Interface: A revamped user interface that enhances user experience and productivity through intuitive design and seamless navigation.
- Extended IoT Integration: Supports a wider range of IoT devices, enabling comprehensive real-time asset monitoring and analytics.
The Suite offers an array of new functionalities, including Monitor, Health, Predict, and Visual Inspection. Many users are particularly interested in the benefits of MAS Manage. This includes new tools like Calibration and linear, which are now standard without extra installs or licenses and are essential for industries requiring precise measurement and equipment accuracy.
It also features a new Work Order Summary application, interactive dashboards, and AI integration for recommending Failure Codes and identifying near-duplicate work orders. The Reliability Strategies add-on provides a comprehensive library for integrating reliability-centered maintenance (RCM), optimizing maintenance schedules, and reducing costs.
"IBM Maximo Application Suite v9.0 represents a significant leap forward in asset management technology," said Richard Donaldson, BPD Zenith CEO (EMEA). "This release underscores our commitment to providing our clients with cutting-edge solutions that drive efficiency and innovation in their operations.
