Arun Kumar of Sedin Technology and Chalmer Bitsoi of Navajo Nation Oil and Gas Company discuss the critical role of clean data in asset management. Operating pipelines across the Four Corners region, Chalmer shares how his organization is building a reliability-centered maintenance program by establishing trustworthy foundational data in Maximo. Arun explains their building blocks approach, which utilizes AI tools to extract information from engineering drawings and physical nameplates to construct a standardized asset hierarchy. They also digitized spare parts to build an item master and introduced a secure, AI-driven dashboard that allows personnel to query their Maximo environment using natural language. This breakout session demonstrates that organizations must perfect their core data before advancing their reliability initiatives.
