In Episode 2 of “Asset Operations Management in Action,” CMMSradio hosts Vivek Chintalaboyina and Bob Keeley from IT Experts Hub to showcase their AMI Power BI Dashboard. They discuss how it transforms EAM/CMMS “systems of record” into real-time “systems of action,” delivering instant, drillable insights to maintenance managers, reliability engineers, and executives to slash corrective maintenance, accelerate decisions, and radically simplify budgeting and forecasting — all while integrating with any EAM/CMMS via APIs and multiple data sources. Key Takeaways Instantly spots cost drivers, failure trends, bad vendors, and root causes with a few clicks. Reduces decision-cycle time and budgeting effort by 20–50%. Mobile-friendly and can be displayed on plant-floor screens for shop-floor visibility. Eliminates weeks/months of manual Excel reporting and “hit-by-a-bus” spreadsheet risk. Works with Hexagon EAM and virtually any other CMMS/EAM system (API-enabled or custom integration).Visit https://www.itxpertshub.com/ top learn more, schedule a discovery call, or get a demo.

Friends of Nano by CMMSradio featuring Colin Morris of MaintainXColin Morris (MaintainX) recaps his session with Michaels’ Michael Truitt on building a solid data foundation (standardized naming, clean assets/parts data) for successful CMMS/EAM rollout across seven distribution centers.Key takeaways:Real customer feedback drives MaintainX product evolution.Top pain points: labor shortage, parts delays, and AI anxiety about AI (“the big scary word”).Most sites still stuck in reactive maintenance → must fix basics before chasing predictive/AI.MaintainX embraces open ecosystems and multi-vendor collaboration.Blunt advice: crawl → walk → run; get the fundamentals right first.Fun note: MaintainX threw a huge rodeo party at the Fort Worth Coliseum. Excited for more innovation at SMRP 2026 in Raleigh, NC. Bring your boots!

Let's hear from Candi Robison and Daniel Rimmasch of Ultimo on Friends of Nano presented by CMMSradio! We talk about Ultimo being in the "Nanospehere" with Nanoprecise, the SMRP conference experience, and some of the trends in maintenance and reliability. Listen to Candi on the topic of ESG and sustainability being a major theme throughout the industry of late.

A big shout out to Ultimo for supporting this special production and CMMSradio! Find Candi and Daniel on LinkedIn if you need help on your CMMS or EAM journey!SMRP 2026 happens in Raleigh, NC!

At the Mainstream UK Summit, CMMSradio interviews Douglas Chan from Climeworks, a company using direct air capture machines in Iceland to suck CO₂ from the air and store it underground forever. These “giant vacuum cleaners” help corporations offset the final 2–5% of emissions to hit net-zero by selling carbon credits. Douglas explains how maintenance strategies for this brand-new tech are built from scratch and shares lessons from his oil & gas and Tesla days, including an eye-opening story of Elon Musk ripping out a multi-million-dollar assembly line overnight to iterate faster.Climeworks removes legacy CO₂ from the air in Iceland and sells carbon credits for net-zero goals.Direct air capture works anywhere—only needs air, not tied to factories.No existing maintenance manuals; practices are created in real time.Douglas’s background: oil & gas → Tesla manufacturing → Climeworks.Elon Musk story: tore out an entire failing Model 3 assembly line overnight to replace it fast.Thank you, Douglas Chan, for joining us to share your journey and the innovative technology #Climeworks is leveraging for our planet!

CMMSradio sits down with Brit Bartolini, Account Director at MaintainX, to discuss bridging the gap between the plant floor and corporate goals. With deep family roots in manufacturing, Brit shares how empathy, curiosity, and simplicity drive successful maintenance transformation.One standout story: a client saved $2.5 million in six months by replacing a legacy CMMS with MaintainX — proving that practical, people-first tech delivers real ROI.Key Takeaways:Walk the floor — you can’t fix what you don’t understand.Start small to build trust and measurable wins.Simplicity drives adoption; show, don’t tell.Data visibility is often the biggest hidden problem.True digital transformation is about people, not software.Thank you, Brit, for an amazing and fun interview about your passion for manufacturing and people! It's refreshing!
