The Companies Taking the Stage at MaximoWorld 2026

When reliability, maintenance and asset management professionals gather at the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville this August 17–20, they won't just be trading notes with peers — they'll be learning directly from the people running some of the most complex, high-stakes operations on the planet. This year's MaximoWorld speaker roster spans space exploration, national defense, global finance, healthcare systems, and the fast-food counter down the street, proof that asset reliability is a universal language.

Solving the “One Failure Away” Problem in High-Throughput Distribution and Parcel Operations

Modern distribution centers, parcel hubs, and airport baggage operations have become highly automated and highly interdependent. That interdependence is a double-edged sword: it drives efficiency, but it also means a single failed asset—a conveyor, a sorter, a control cabinet—can bring an entire operation to a halt. Product backs up behind the failure point, downstream teams run out of work, and in a 24/7 environment, lost throughput isn't recovered later. It's simply gone.

INTELLIAM AI LAUNCHES AN INDUSTRIAL INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM, PROVEN TO LIFT RELIABILITY 215% AND DEVELOPED WITH GLOBAL ENGINEERING LEADER SKF, AS MANUFACTURERS RACE TO CLOSE A 2.1 MILLION-WORKER GAP

Manufacturing is being rebuilt at record pace, with more than a trillion dollars committed to new factories, yet the skilled people needed to run them are in increasingly short supply. Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute project that 2.1 million manufacturing jobs will go unfilled by 2030, at a cost of around a trillion dollars in lost output. Today, UK-listed IntelliAM AI launches the technology built to make scarce expertise go much further: an end-to-end industrial intelligence platform, developed alongside global engineering leader SKF and already used by half of the world's top 12 food and drink manufacturers. In live trials it has delivered a 215% improvement in mean-time-between-failures at a single site of a major European dairy leader over a 12-month period.

Brightly is now Siemens Asset Management Software: Here’s what that means for you

Since then, we've operated as "a Siemens company" while continuing to build on more than 25 years of experience helping thousands of organizations reduce costs, improve decision-making, and maximize asset resilience.

Today, we're taking the next step in that journey by officially becoming Siemens Asset Management Software.

At first glance, a second brand change in four years might seem unexpected. But this transition isn't about changing who we are — it's about expanding what's possible for any organization looking to transform their asset maintenance and operations.

Introducing Maximo Application Suite 9.2: AI built for asset management that keeps operations running

As enterprises move beyond AI experimentation, the next challenge is operationalizing AI. How to apply intelligence where work happens, connect insight to action, coordinate execution across teams and systems and do it all with the trust and control required for mission-critical environments. For asset-intensive organizations, that operating model comes to life in the domain of physical asset operations.

Mechanical Seals: Small Components, Major Consequences for Pump Reliability and Process Safety

Mechanical seals are often small compared with the pump, driver, coupling, baseplate, piping system, or control system. Yet anyone who has spent time around rotating equipment knows that seals can have a much larger impact than their size suggests. A mechanical seal is not just a wear part. It is a containment device, a reliability component, an emissions-control device, and in many services, a critical safety barrier. At its simplest, a mechanical seal contains process fluid where a rotating shaft passes through a stationary casing. In real plant operation, that simple function becomes extremely important. A seal may be the only component preventing a hydrocarbon, toxic fluid, hot liquid, corrosive chemical, or environmentally sensitive product from leaking to atmosphere.

IFS and Chelsea FC Announce Landmark Agreement to Embed Industrial AI Across Premier League Football Operations

IFS, the global leader in Industrial AI, today announced an agreement with Chelsea Football Club, to make Chelsea a trailblazer in the use of AI within their operations, setting a new benchmark and innovative approach for a Premier League football club. This agreement follows on from February’s announcement of the multi-year global partnership between IFS and Chelsea Football Club.

Sedin Technologies Completes IBM Maximo Application Suite SaaS Migration for Major Asia-Pacific Resort Operator Across Five Properties

Sedin Technologies has completed the migration of enterprise asset management operations for one of Asia's largest integrated resort operators onto IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) SaaS. The project spanned five properties, touched more than 3,000 active users, and was executed with six hours of planned downtime and no disruption to live casino, hotel, or convention operations.

From Connected Assets to Operational Decisions: Lessons Learned from Global Industrial IoT Deployments

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies continue to be deployed across industries to improve asset visibility, support predictive maintenance initiatives, and enhance reliability performance. Over the past several years, I have been involved in deploying connected asset technologies across large industrial fleets operating in North America, South America, Asia, and the Middle East.
