The business is strong with Maximo: "Optimize asset investments with AI insights to cut lifecycle costs, align budgets and achieve your goals smarter and faster".
Optimizing with insights to cut lifecycle costs? Where do I sign up??
They are a todolist combined with a dependency tracker and a Cron job.
E.g. you own an old school Japanese car with no fancy computers. You only have a paper manual.
With something like Maximo, you can turn your maintenance into a DAG and routine stuff is tied to cron. Each Todo is called a "Work order". E.g. tire rotation every 10 000 miles, oil change every 15 000 air filter swap every 2 years.
Each day after you finish driving you enter into the Maximo GUI (or have an Arduino IoT sensor do it) your current mileage.
The timing chain also needs to be swapped every 5 yeard, but due to a quirk of engineering, it can only be done so after the oil had been changed.
Maximo automatically tracks everything, and after you are done, you have to upload a photo as proof that you have done the work.
It's a very simple system at its core, basically a glorified Todo list but entire industries run on it.
This is actually a pretty interesting idea, though I'm not sure how much yak shaving houses have (they definitely have some, but I think the DAG is not that deep) that tracking recurring dependency graphs is something I want to roll into micasa.
In any case, I rescind my sarcasm.
