  How AI and IoT Are Transforming IBM Maximo for the Future IBM Maximo has long been a leader in Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), helping organizations optimize asset performance, reduce downtime, and improve maintenance strategies. However, with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), Maximo is evolving into a more predictive, automated, and intelligent system. In this blog, we explore how AI and IoT are transforming Maximo and the benefits they bring to asset management. 1. AI-Powered Predictive Maintenance Traditionally, maintenance in Maximo was either reactive (fixing issues after failure) or preventive (scheduled maintenance). With AI, Maximo can now analyze vast amounts of historical and real-time data to predict failures before they happen. Key AI-driven capabilities include: Failure Pattern Recognition – AI algorithms detect patterns in asset performance data and alert teams about potential failures. Automated Work Orde...
