You Can’t Maintain What You Can’t See: A Digital Twin Bill of Rights for Asset-Intensive Infrastructure

A practical Digital Twin Bill of Rights for asset teams — so your twin delivers operational value, not just technology.

Drawing on 25+ years in EAM plus experience as a Navy Reserve engineering officer and merchant marine chief engineer, John uses examples from ports, vessels, and harbor facilities to show how visual context bridges physical assets and Maximo / MREF — and introduces a model for integrating LiDAR reality capture, IoT sensors, and enterprise systems into operational twins that actually serve maintenance teams and reliability engineers.

Making Condition Assessment Actually Work

This hands-on session runs the full Condition Assessment (CA) workflow — from field collection through the capital planning and budgeting that turns condition data into action — focused on the real setup, configuration, and mechanics rather than theory.

Asset-intensive organizations rely on Condition Assessment for unbiased, standardized, and actionable insight into the capital needs of their buildings, equipment, and assets over time. IoT and AI are beginning to disrupt the traditional “boots on the ground” approach, but the value of an assessment is rarely disputed. The hard part isn’t agreeing that CA matters — it’s implementing it well.

Because CA is costly, time-consuming, and resource-intensive, misapplying it creates cascading problems — including the loss of funding for future assessments. The key is treating CA as a journey, not a destination: think holistically and long-term, and build a strategy that answers the “then what” question — how the data will be maintained, refreshed, stored, accessed, and used to inform leadership as asset condition continually changes — and, critically, what technology will hold it all together so the organization stays focused on where it’s actually trying to go.

Build a World-Class Maintenance Planning & Scheduling Process with Maximo

Millions invested in Maximo — still fighting maintenance backlogs, poor schedule compliance, and reactive work? The problem isn’t the software. It’s the lack of a disciplined planning and scheduling process.

This interactive workshop puts teams inside a live Maximo training environment to work the full planning-and-scheduling lifecycle — prioritizing backlog by risk and readiness, evaluating planner-ready work orders, repairing incomplete work packages, developing a capacity-based weekly schedule, responding to real-world disruptions, and measuring the effectiveness of their decisions. Not a demo. You do the work.

You leave with a practical model for backlog governance, planner-ready work, multi-week planning, schedule commitment, and performance feedback — plus methods, checklists, and a decision framework you can apply in your own Maximo environment immediately.

Introduction to Query Based (Ad hoc) Reports and KPIs

A hands-on primer on searching Maximo like a power user — and turning those queries into reports and KPIs.

Master the search techniques that unlock Maximo’s data — wildcards, multiple criteria, date ranges, null values, the More Search Fields dialog, and the Where clause underneath. Then save your queries and reuse them: build ad-hoc reports through Query Based Reporting (QBR) and turn the same saved query into a live KPI.

You leave with a working module.
