Please vote on these 15 targeted questions.
Which questions should Urs focus on in next webinar? These questions are targeted for plant operators, asset managers, and SAP/consulting people.
- How do you pick the first 5-10 assets or systems where Al-enabled APM will actually deliver measurable value in our kind of operations (offshore, power, aluminium, chemicals)?
- What concrete business results (downtime, maintenance cost, production, HSE/CO2) have you seen from Al-driven predictive or condition-based maintenance, and how long did it take to achieve them?
- How do you deal with limited failure history and poor sensor coverage when building models for critical assets - and related - do you combine rules/physics with ML, and how?
- What does a realistic reference architecture look like when you mix SAP PM/EAM/APM with data historians, condition monitoring systems, and other third-party analytics tools?
- Where do alerting and recommendations "live" in this architecture, and how do they become SAP notifications and work orders without creating parallel shadow systems?
- How do you integrate Al-based insights with existing maintenance strategies such as RCM, RBI and OEM recommendations, and how often do you actually change intervals or tasks based on Al?
- What governance do you recommend for Al models in APM (ownership, validation, retraining, documentation), especially in regulated industries like energy and process?
- How do you build trust with field technicians and control room operators so they act on Al alerts instead of ignoring them as "noise"?
- How do you quantify and communicate the value of Al-enabled APM to management so that funding is sustained beyond pilots?
- What are the most common pitfalls you've seen when organizations try to scale from a successful pilot to fleet-wide deployment across plants or assets?
- How do you handle data quality issues at scale (sensor drift, bad tags, missing events, inconsistent SAP master data) and who owns fixing them?
- How do you see generative Al being used in APM (for example, turning alerts and documentation into prescriptive next steps for engineers)?
- Where does Al-enabled APM fit into their roadmap and existing platforms if your your company already is on a digitalization journey (e.g., digital twins, remote operations)?
- What roles and skills are essential in a successful APM/Al team (reliability engineers, data scientists, data engineers, SAP specialists, partners), and how do they typically collaborate day-to-day?
- If you had to recommend the first three concrete steps our organizations should take in the next 90 days to move towards Al-enabled APM, what would they be?
