Frequently Asked Questions
How does Cohesive help utilities get more value from IBM Maximo?
Cohesive helps utilities get the most out of Maximo through industry-focused implementation, advisory services, and proprietary tools like Cohesive Data Utility and Cohesive Data Replication that improve data quality, reduce downtime, and enable reliable operations.
How can Maximo help utilities better plan storm response?
When power lines, meters, poles, or towers are impacted by storms, utilities need to dispatch resources immediately to restore service. With a digitized workflow in Maximo, you can target and deploy resources more effectively to specific areas, access asset information via mobile devices in the field, and streamline communications.
How can Maximo help utilities determine the right time to replace assets like transformers?
Maximo enables utilities to make risk-based decisions across the asset lifecycle by analyzing failure likelihood and impact. This helps align replacement strategies with financial and operational goals, while prioritizing high-risk assets to optimize resource allocation and improve reliability.
How can MAS Mobile support utility technicians in the field?
MAS Mobile enables field technicians to access work orders, asset data, inspections, and meter readings in real time or offline, ensuring effective operations in remote environments. Technicians can capture accurate data, update work status instantly, and improve response times. Access to asset hierarchies, spatial data, and inspection forms enhances visibility, reduces errors, and supports reliable, compliant utility operations.
How can Maximo help utilities meet compliance requirements, such as NERC?
Maximo helps utilities meet compliance requirements like NERC by automating inspections and maintaining auditable, time-stamped records. With Maximo HSE and Permit-to-Work, utilities can manage hazards, isolations, and safety approvals in a fully traceable way. It also streamlines safety and environmental inspections, ensuring consistent procedures, accurate logs, and compliance, including leak-related requirements.
How can utilities integrate Maximo with GIS?
Utilities can integrate Maximo with GIS using Maximo Spatial, enabling interactive maps into Maximo so teams can see assets, outages, and work locations in their real‑world context. This allows teams to map poles, lines, valves and transformers, link work orders to exact locations, and improve planning, dispatch, and network visibility.
How can Maximo Visual Inspection (MVI) improve utility asset management?
MVI enables utilities to analyze images from drones and other sources to assess asset conditions, reducing field inspections, improving accuracy, and accelerating maintenance decisions.
Can utilities also use Maximo for construction turnover and operation?
Yes, Cohesive can help utilities build a data-backed strategy and workflows to support the build of new construction as well as ongoing operations.
How can utilities unify asset management data and processes when some teams use SAP and others use Maximo?
Cohesive helps utilities unify data and processes across SAP and Maximo by integrating systems, aligning workflows, and establishing a single source of truth for all stakeholders.
