Registrations climb 23% year-over-year Reliabilityweb enters new chapter with Nineteen Group
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — MaximoWorld 2026, part of Reliabilityweb, the premier event for IBM Maximo and MREF (formerly TRIRIGA) users and the reliability, maintenance, and asset management community, concluded a successful four-day run in Nashville, Tennessee, August 17–20. The event drew more than 1,300 registrations, a 23% increase over the prior year.
Traditional asset performance management (APM) is breaking under the weight of modern industrial complexity. Today’s industrial environments generate orders of magnitude more data across far more complex, distributed operations than the systems managing them were ever designed to handle. This creates a growing gulf between the data enterprises generate and their ability to act on it. At the same time, industrial manufacturers face mounting pressure from all sides: volatile market conditions, rising costs, tighter margins, net-zero emission targets, and uncompromising safety requirements. Many enterprises have set ambitious goals towards achieving digital transformation and Industry 4.0 initiatives, yet the reality of day-to-day operational challenges hinders progress.

At TRC 2026, Brendon Russ speaks with Dan Anderson of TRM about reliability culture, ERP and EAM implementations, data governance, and executive sponsorship. Learn why maintenance professionals need a voice in technology decisions and how stronger partnerships between IT, operations, and maintenance improve business outcomes.
Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) architectures with 2-out-of-3 (2oo3) voting are designed to tolerate a single hardware fault without interrupting processes. However, an unexpected Gas Turbine Generator (GTG) trip occurred when only one of three safety controllers failed. This case study analyzes the event, demonstrating the critical distinction between fault tolerance and fail-safe behavior when safety integrity is compromised.

In the late 1990s, handing your entire IT infrastructure to an outside vendor sounded reckless. Why would a Fortune 500 company give away its technology backbone? The answer was simple. Technology wasn't their core business. IBM Global Services, EDS, and Accenture proved enterprises could shed the operational burden of IT and get better service from specialists who did nothing else. By the early 2000s the argument was over. TCS, Infosys, and Wipro scaled fast after Y2K, proving even mission-critical work could sit outside if governance and metrics held up.
On Reliability Radio, Brendon Russ talks with Joe Lee of Aidentyx about moving beyond AI hype and applying AI to real maintenance challenges. Learn how AI-powered analytics, workflow automation, knowledge management, and root cause analysis can help reliability teams reduce repair times and improve operational performance.
