IBM Maximo Anywhere V7.5.1 lets users mobilize work management tasks. This can yield efficiencies for field personnel by capturing data at the point of execution, helping reduce or eliminate information entry tasks, which can increase the accuracy of critical data. Maximo Anywhere users are able to view their assigned work including details important to the execution of the work.

Maximo Anywhere may be utilized in connected or disconnected states. Users may leverage maps to view the spatial proximity of their assigned work, and barcode scanning capabilities to validate assets and work locations. The Approvals application permits management to review and process work orders from their mobile devices, seeking additional work order information from Maximo when necessary. The Maximo Anywhere platform is based upon IBM Worklight technology, allowing Maximo users to leverage the IBM Worklight mobile development platform to run, manage, and configure their mobile applications.

Maximo Anywhere V7.5.1 allows mobile users to:

• Provide symptom, cause, and action failure data.
• View attachments of varying formats.
• Take photos of work conditions and attach them to work orders.
• Capture asset meter readings vital to establishing timely maintenance routines.
• Add Work Log details using voice to text capabilities.
• Utilize Apple iOS devices.
• Submit labor bookings.
• Create new and follow-up work to help reduce or eliminate inadvertent oversights.

If you previously acquired an Authorized User license for IBM Maximo Adapter for Primavera or IBM Maximo Adapter for Microsoft Project, and are active on your IBM maintenance or subscription, you now have an option to trade up to IBM Maximo Asset Management Scheduler.

IBM Maximo Asset Management Scheduler provides organizations with means to plan and schedule current and upcoming work, and to manage aspects of advanced work management. It incorporates production or utilization schedules that let the planner see when the asset is available, when materials are scheduled to arrive, and when appropriate craft levels are present. This helps avoid scheduling work when it cannot be performed. It also takes the definition of a schedule and extends it to the assignment of available personnel with a graphical assignment tool. Efficient work management requires a vision of where crews and their work are located. Moreover, it leverages map controls to provide advanced graphical dispatching capabilities that focus on helping to get the work into the hands of appropriate personnel, assisting in its timely completion, which can help control costs.
