Podcasts about enterprise asset management

This episode a great deep dive into asset management with arguably the premier asset management system on the market today. I've been working with Cartegraph since 2010 and have been very impressed with their software and vision for constant improvement. Join me as I welcome Jon Kremer, self proclaimed Product CEO for the Cartegraph Asset Management System at OpenGov, and we talk about how clients are using Cartegraph today, how it has evolved over the decades, and where it is going in the future. Enjoy!https://opengov.com/products/asset-management/AI Generated Episode Description:Every public works professional eventually confronts the challenge of asset management. How do you track thousands of infrastructure elements, maintain them efficiently, and plan for their eventual replacement? It's a question that combines technology, human behavior, and financial planning in ways that can make or break a department's effectiveness.John Kramer, who leads product management for OpenGov's Enterprise Asset Management system, formerly known as, takes us through the fascinating evolution of asset management systems. From his early days implementing solutions for municipalities across America to his current role designing the future of these platforms, Kramer shares insights that apply to organizations of every size.The conversation explores how asset management has transformed from paper-based workflows to cloud systems accessible from smartphones. What's remarkable is how the fundamentals remain consistent—you're still tracking the same basic information about signs, water mains, and park equipment—while the methods for collecting and using that data have revolutionized daily operations. As Kramer explains, success depends on a "three-legged stool" of products, people, and processes working together.We dive into implementation strategies that work, discussing how starting with smaller, focused rollouts often proves more effective than attempting organization-wide adoption. The most successful departments find champions who naturally gravitate to the technology and then leverage their enthusiasm to spread adoption organically. The conversation then turns to exciting future developments: connected systems that integrate asset data with financial planning, Internet of Things sensors providing real-time monitoring, and artificial intelligence applications that can identify assets from photographs and optimize work scheduling.Whether you're considering your first asset management implementation or looking to improve an existing system, this episode offers practical wisdom from decades of experience across hundreds of municipalities.

Industrial Talk is chatting with Nikunj Mehta, Founder and CEO of Falkonry/IFS about “Enterprise AI - Establishing Trust and the Power of AI to your Enterprise Asset Management”.  The following are some key takeaways for our conversation: Introduction. 0:04 Industrial assets operate at their optimal condition. How technology and innovation can truly solve the challenges of today's market, and how it's happening at a pace that is so rapid. Nikunj Background. 3:51 Nikunj introduces himself. Growing up as the son of a factory worker and specifically a steel-producer. How Falkonry started in the resource-intensive industrial space, and why he wanted to do something different. How Nikunj came to the conclusion that there was something more to be gained from the data that was already being pulled from computers. The industrial world and time series data. How do you find the golden nuggets in the data? 10:00 The silicon valley story is preceded by the san francisco story, and it took them a long time to figure out what can help them find the gold. The human condition is biased. Donald Rumsfeld used to talk about unknown unknowns, and since then it has entered the pantheon of technical jargon that takes everybody's head for a spin. Falkonry has become primarily about surfacing known unknowns and unknown unknowns. It is a software approach to find unknown unknown's. The platform sits on top of the operations on level two, and is able to see what is going wrong in the plant. False positives are not a problem. It doesn't cost as much to review anomalous behavior. 17:17 It doesn't cost as much effort to review something and say that it doesn't make sense. It is learning what behaviors arise and how to predict behaviors and incorporate normal behavior. Falkonry has signed an agreement to be acquired by ifs, and it will take to the end of Q4. Falkonry has been serving in the area of production and process optimization. APM is a field that many analysts have written off, but enterprise asset management has created sustainable long-term businesses. Enterprise asset management approach is more holistic and global. The problem with enterprise asset management and smart manufacturing. 24:16 Ai aims to streamline workflows and minimize inventory of parts over time and reduce the number of people required to serve a supplier. APM has been around for 20 years. Introducing something that is not part of his thinking, but now all of a sudden he has to rethink and change the way he looks at manufacturing. Quality of life issues for the bottom-up. People need to be able to trust AI until that adoption is not possible, and that trust requires bottom-up experience, studies and examples from their own world. Once people can trust vibration analyst, the change management process is as simple as previously thought. How to get a hold of Nikunj. 30:51 Trust is something that is so powerful, and in...

The RBA meeting minutes were released yesterday hinting at the potential for further rate hikes to come, possibly taking the nation's cash rate to 4.60%, as the outlook for price pressures to become embedded raises concerns for the RBA especially if wages continue rising against stagnant productivity output. Stagnant productivity was a key inclusion in the RBA meeting minutes as members discussed the importance of growing productivity amid output per hour worked not increasing over the past 3 years, hence leading to GDP data growth actually worsening in Q1FY23. The ASX closed 0.86% higher yesterday, extending the ASX rally of late into a 7th straight session, buoyed by a surge in energy stocks with the sector closing just shy of 2% higher on Tuesday.In Australia, retail stocks took another hit yesterday after Best & Less (ASX:BST) downgraded profit guidance by 65% as the consumer discretionary sector as a whole feels the brunt of declining consumer spend. The company now expects net profit between $3.6m and $4.2m in H2FY23, down from the initial guidance issued of $10m to $12m.Over in New York on Tuesday, stocks are trading lower on the first trading session of the week on Wall St as the recent lengthy rally took a slight breather ahead of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's congressional testimony. The Dow Jones fell 0.72% on Tuesday while the S&P500 lost 0.47% and the Nasdaq declined 0.16%. On the earnings front, FedEx reports FY23 results after the closing bell on Tuesday. Adding to investor uncertainty was homebuilding projects data in the US out for May showing a surge in single-family homebuilding projects. In Europe, markets closed lower across the board on Tuesday as investor sentiment remains cautious particularly following recent data from China and the lacklustre return to full operational capacity in the region weighing on global economies. The STOXX600 fell 0.6% on Tuesday, Germany's DAX fell 0.55%, the French CAC lost 0.27% and, in the UK, the FTSE100 lost 0.25%.  What to watch today: Ahead of the local trading session the SPI futures are anticipating the local index to open 0.4% lower amid global markets turbulence overnight.On the commodities front this morning, oil is down 1.03% at US$71.18/barrel, gold is down 0.67% at US$1937/ounce, copper is up 2.24% at US$3.87/pound, and iron ore is flat at US$117/tonne.Economic data out today includes UK annual inflation rate data with the market expecting a decline to 8.4% in May from 8.7% in April.Investors in the UK will be awaiting the rate decision out of the Bank of England tomorrow with the expectation for a 25-basis point rate hike which will take the British cash rate to 4.75% for the month ahead.AU$1.00 is buying US$0.68, 95.85 Japanese Yen, 53.70 British Pence and NZ$1.10. Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has downgraded the price target on Mineral Resources (ASX:MIN) from $95 to $90 per share but maintain a buy rating on the mining giant after the company updated the market on its lithium business including the termination of the Mount Marion toll treatment agreement with Ganfeng Lithium Co. but MIN will still sell its Mount Marion spodumene concentrate to Ganfeng at market prices. Mineral Resources also updated the market on a second natural gas discovery at North Erregulla Deep-1, and early results of exploration for lithium at Mount Marion confirmed exploration potential at depth.And Bell Potter has initiated coverage of COSOL (ASX:COS)with a Buy rating and a price target of $1 noting the specialised digital IT solutions and data management company offers a compelling value proposition in the Enterprise Asset Management industry with strong financial growth, a diverse client base, strategic partnerships and actively supports its clients' sustainability goals.

The road to excellence in reliability starts with sound business cases, determined executives, and a work force ready for change and continuous improvement.Most systems by nature are neither intuitive nor simple to understand.

"There's a move towards digital transformation. And there's two aspects of that. There's digitisation and there's digitalization." "If it's digitized, you're simply taking, like a hardcopy, and you're scanning it near attaching it to a record of some sort." "By digitalizing, it, I'm actually putting it in a format that the computer can process. It's much more efficient..." In this episode, I'm in conversation with Tony Ciliberti, who is the founder of Reliability Dynamics. Tony is an authority on digitalization of equipment operating data, which is near and dear to my heart. Without good data, you can't really get the full benefits of digitalization. Worse, poor quality reliability data costs money, and carbon, as engineers have to drive to visit facilities when they don't need to. Better quality reliability data pays back very quickly.  "[Reliability] means is being able to make equipment perform better by having the information necessary to make better decisions for the equipment." Tony Ciliberti is the Founder and Principal of Reliability Dynamics. He is a chemical engineer with 30 years of experience in equipment reliability and risk management in the petrochemical and oil and gas industries. He is an authority on data digitalization and the application of ISO 14224 methods. He developed and patented engineering methods that resolve pervasive equipment performance data quality issues in EAM solutions. He chairs the CCPS Process Equipment Reliability Database (PERD) Project. He participates actively in ISO technical standards development as the ANSI-appointed US Expert in ISO/TC67/WG4/PG1 and is a contributing author of the ISO 14224:2016 standard. He teaches the ISO course on how to apply ISO 14224 in enterprise software. "If I'm thinking that I'm gonna get information from the field, and I want to be able to validate it with a system, which I do, right, I've got to make sure that the data requirements aligned with the type of work."

Why are we talking about it? It's use in the enterprise and by admins is rarely used, but it's use in moving laterally by bad actors is growing in it's use.  It's highly versatile, able to be scripted, and can even be used to cause triggers for when other programs run on a system.  Mr. Boettcher and I sit down and discuss the functions of #WMI, it's history, what classes and objects are, and ways you can leverage WMI to make your admins job much easier. #assetmanagement #remotemanagement #wbem #wmi #windows DerbyCon WMI talk: http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=videos/derbycon5/break-me12-whymi-so-sexy-wmi-attacks-real-time-defense-and-advanced-forensic-analysis-matt-graeber-willi-ballenthin-claudiu-teodorescu Wbemtest: http://blogs.technet.com/b/chad/archive/2012/03/08/tip-45-wbemtest-the-underappreciated-tool.aspx WMI documentation: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384642(v=vs.85).aspx TuneIn podcast Link: http://tunein.com/radio/Brakeing-Down-Security-Podcast-p801582/ RSS: http://www.brakeingsecurity.com/rss   Show notes
