Enterprise asset management

Our processes are highly reactive and the data quality is poor enough where we can't match our model numbers or our CDL numbers.

We have 215 model numbers, but we only have 217 buses, right? So who have seen that before, right? So when that happens, what is really going on is on a Tuesday morning in a nice cold February when Susan pulls her maintenance report from her existing EAM system pick any of them that her bus 1147 shows that this last inspection was complete and it was all green and it's all good to go but what the report is not telling her or anybody is that the inspection notes in a very different spreadsheet some were maintained by the contractor has flags that there are break caliber issues, which never came back to the EM.

They were never captured.

They just kept living in a very different spreadsheet maintained by a different team altogether.

kind of all about them.

And that's where we can do some work and hopefully reach a few of them that say, yeah, I'm going to put better documentation and standardized info into the CMMS or the EAM.

I'm going to document how I approach something.

I'm going to mentor a few people in my department that have that potential to do this great work because they're already doing pretty good stuff.

Mm-hmm.

And much like a CMMS or an EAM, any of these maintenance technologies, these asset management solutions, I don't necessarily care if you call it APM, CMMS, work order management.

All of these things are tools that we can potentially leverage to amplify whatever we already have in place.

Sure.

So we decided we need to pivot and we need to make the software about your facility if the product is managing factories.

So with Spot, we're largely in the EAM space, the enterprise asset management space.

we're going around and running inspections to maintain uptime we'll get into atlas and atlas is about doing real work so the big thing was well okay how do i make software about the world and i had started in construction my very first project with boston dynamics was working on an autonomous scanning solution with trimble the geospatial company and we were going out to job sites and we were saying what if there was just this machine that constantly roved your site.

And anytime you needed to see updates in terms of what was actually built, you know, reality versus spec, you could go in and you could verify that.

Yeah, great question.

So, you know, one of the biggest pieces of feedback we get every year for the main event is how everybody loves having more hands-on workshop training, how to make the most out of their current Octave Attune EAM platform, right? And, uh, for the main event, we just have a lot of things going on.

We got our breakout sessions, we got some workshops.

It's, you know, a big conglomeration.

So, uh, we wanted to really drill down and have a two-day event that was very focused on very specific topics, not only in EAM, but as for folks that are using them and having common struggles or interests inside of their system, right? Uh, and another key, key piece of feedback, uh, one reason why we're in Dallas too is, um, just getting it out of Greenville, South Carolina, which we love Greenville.

It's great.

Um, and for those of you that know, it's just, it's, it's kinda hard to travel to Greenville, right? Like, you always gotta get a connecting flight.

How do we make it meaningful? What tools are out there, not only currently an Octave tool, but what other applications, like from our friends at IT Experts Hub, that have built, uh, you know, enhancements that can go on top of your platform to make your data more meaningful or more better or more sufficient, right? Whatever the, the case behind that is.

It'll do a very deep dive research.

So if I'm researching BHP and I'm an ERP provider, they're an EAM, so let's look at that IFS solution where they do both.

Well, they do all three.

They do ERP, EAM, and field service management, and they do their own IFS AI solution.

I can literally target every part of BHP.

I can sit there and say, right, looking at all of my solutions, because as I said, it learns everything about what you do as a business.
