In this Reliability Radio episode recorded live at MaximoWorld 2026 in Nashville, host Brendan Russ sits down with Amund Lelland, Director of Digital Projects at SLB. They discuss the evolving role of artificial intelligence within Maximo and asset management. Amund shares how SLB, a major oil field service company, manages advanced drilling technology and optimizes the reliability of millions of assets.
The conversation highlights SLB's recent transition to MAS 9.1, merging twenty years of historical maintenance records with operational data. Amund explains how AI evolution now allows teams to generate complex data insights using simple prompts instead of requiring dedicated data science teams and Python scripts. Listen in to learn why building a solid data foundation is crucial, the importance of combining IT and operational expertise, and why traditional time-based maintenance schedules are often the wrong approach.
