  • 1.  IBM Plans for AI in Inventory in Maximo?

    Posted Tue October 15, 2024 10:23 AM

    Anybody know if there is any consideration by IBM to bring their AI capabilities for work into the Inventory area of Maximo? My client is currently using a product called Logility and would like to get rid of it in their move to MAS but I dont see the same functionality in Maximo. I know IBM is really pushing for AI now and all about AI but will they be moving it from just the Work to other areas like Inventory/Supply Chain?

    Thanks in advance,

    So I found the answer to what I think I was looking for:

    MRO Inventory Optimization

    https://www.ibm.com/products/mro-inventory-optimization

    Now its interesting that you are supposed to be able to activate this in your Workspace through the External Launchers but I do not have an option for it in my MAS environment and I cannot find any materials on how to get it in my External Launchers. Can anyone help?

    All I have in my Ext Launchers is:

    Manage (external)
    Manage your asset lifecycle workflow and business processes and integrate with other enterprise applications.
    Application
    -

    APM for Energy and Utilities
    Use analytic tools to get a detailed understanding of energy and utility asset and network performance.
    Industry solution
    -

    Scheduler Optimization (external)
    Optimize scheduling for your organization using the IBM Maximo Optimization Framework.
    Add-on

    How do you add extra External Launchers?


    Amazing that in the Link above nowhere do they show the word Maximo but if you watch the Video that is in the page it calls the product 

    IBM Maximo MRO
    Inventory Optimization

    IBM Branding must have decided to remove the word Maximo from the product I am assuming?

    FYI: This is instructions to activate in MAS:

    IBM Maximo MRO Inventory Optimization (MROIO) can be integrated with Maximo Application Suite, but it is not integrated by default:

    Configuration

    • To configure MROIO with Maximo Application Suite, you can:
    • Select Workspace from the side navigation menu
    • Select the External launchers tab
    • Click Edit and select MRO Inventory Optimization
    • Enter the solution portal URL for your MROIO environment
    • Save your changes

    Well, so much for this idea.. The product has been removed for MAS 9:
    Note:

    Starting in Maximo Application Suite 9.0, MRO Inventory Optimization is no longer available to be added as an externally configured application. The information that is provided is applicable to Maximo Application Suite 8.11 and earlier versions. If MRO Inventory Optimization is configured as an external launcher and you are upgrading to Maximo Application Suite 9.0, you must remove MRO Inventory Optimization before you can complete the upgrade.

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/mas-cd/continuous-delivery?topic=configuring-external-launchers


    Are they moving to another solution? I wonder if they are moving to AI solution as I first asked and stopping with the Cloud hosted solution .. #please... LOL
