AI in Asset Lifecycle Management: Turning Insight into Daily Action

ROUNDTABLE

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
IBM

How can asset-intensive organizations move beyond isolated AI pilots to embed intelligence into everyday asset management decisions—without compromising reliability, workforce trust, or long-term strategy?

Asset-intensive organizations are under growing pressure to improve uptime, control costs, and extend asset life—all while managing workforce constraints and increasingly complex operations. AI is often positioned as the solution, yet many teams remain stuck in experimentation mode. While pilots may show promise, inconsistent data, fragmented systems, and unclear ownership frequently prevent AI from delivering sustained operational value. Leaders are now grappling with a critical question, where does AI truly enhance asset performance today, and where does it introduce unnecessary complexity or risk?

Moving from potential to performance requires a stronger foundation. AI-driven asset management depends on reliable asset, work, and condition data flowing consistently across planning, maintenance, and reliability workflows. This means addressing long-standing issues around data quality, integration between legacy and modern platforms, and governance models that support trust in AI-generated insights. Without this groundwork, AI struggles to move beyond advisory outputs and into daily decision-making that teams rely on in the field and control room.

Join industry peers and IBM to explore how AI can be operationalized across the asset lifecycle to support faster, more confident decisions in planning, maintenance, and reliability. Grounded in real-world operational experience, the discussion will focus on what is working today and what is stalling at pilot stage.
