Please welcome to the stage with cohesive
Mr. David Armstrong.
All right. All right. All right. We are in
Austin, right?
All right. So let's talk about how maximil can
be the engine of the digital twin.
So let's go. All right the engine of the
digital twin.
For sustainable future in the era of the
metaverse.
Not meta the metaverse. So let's begin. So,
how do we move?
Our community forward from where we
are today or where we should
be today.
Into this world where we delve into
the metaverse.
This is real. This is where we are. This is a net video representation
of an asset which is being built
today.
But in order to understand where we are today and
where we want to go we have to go back.
In time we need to talk about where we
were in the beginning.
because Maximo as we know it started
as a maintenance to
it was a maintenance tool in order to get these guys what they
needed in the field to do the
right work at the right time.
But over the time they became burdened
with becoming better. They wanted to move in the
reliability space. They'd attended Terry's
conferences and they knew there was a better
way than just doing preventative work.
And then there was this other part of the business that we
needed to incorporate in that world because maintaining and
sustaining is quite different from reliability
that infers asset management
and how we actually manage our assets
which sometimes these two
they didn't quite handshake properly.
There was perhaps some tension between these
worlds. So it was how did we make these worlds
come together? How do we transcend the
bridge that information and a
digital manner?
And it today it's really about on the right side
is how do we build those
reliability models create that environment
that can be pushed into the iot connected
environment world?
So what we know as the design
delivery and operate space within
the project and delivery
conceptual world.
We needed to move that.
We needed a vehicle to move that and we
use our connected data environments to connect
those worlds. Right a connected data environment
to bridge the gap and to
optimize our data. So it
moves and becomes actionable. That's really what
we needed to do.
That's really what we needed to do and we still need to
do today.
So let's talk about what actional actioning
are our data is all about. Well, so
the business level we need
analysis and decisions. We need to make
decisions.
Based on Covenant information that we
can trust we can believe in to optimize the
asset value the asset management
side. But in order to do that, we need
baselines and simulations to compare
against right? How do you know where you want
to be or where you are unless you can compare it
against somebody and then we need to put rigid engineering controls
around that information.
Because it's we live in a world of constant change.
Right, so that sets the foundation for creating alarms
in the field that we can know. It's the right
time to do the right work. And this is the reliability world
that we know. It's the maximal world. We know
and we're Now supported by these incredible tool set
that allows us to push information.
Through leading Technologies connect to
environments that aren't even in our
systems. We connect to the Legacy systems. We
can pull data in from virtually anywhere. Now
that technology exists. Of course,
we all know it as the Maximo application
suite and what I'm here to talk about is
how they are the fundamental and foundational
pieces of a performance digital twin
digital twin is a word often used. I believe
it's overused. I believe the digital twin is
the digitalization of your entire facility.
It's what resides in the
minds of your of your trades and your engineers. That's
what we need to digitalize because that's
the missing link. That's the ingredient, right?
Pulling that out is what this is where the culture is often
missing and that's what Terry goes on about the conferences, you
know culture can eat your lunch culture can eat
your lunch and it does right. So how do
we create an environment that people can trust and believe
so we can Infuse that information
throughout this incredible system to allow data
to travel today allow data to
be actionable because that my friends will become
your digital twin and your path into a
world where we need to go.
And we need to go quickly.
So let's perhaps talk about move into
that world of what we need to do.
So why now?
Why now?
What is this AI thing?
artificial intelligence
Are we there yet?
I mean, we've got some incredible tools that help
us down this path.
But I actually believe AI should stand
for Applied intelligence.
Applied intelligence is what we're missing.
It is the missing link.
Right. It's the secret sauce.
if the black book
it's the stuff that exists that we need to pull out
of the heads of the people that we trust and digitalize
because that's how we become a leading
organization and the 1% Club are
there and that's part of why now, so
let's shift.
right and shift quickly
So you guys are probably heard this you're all Geeks.
I'm a geek my propeller spins more as
well.
It's been around for a long time. Wasn't it? What is
it telling us? Is it telling us that the computer power available
is doubling every year. What does
that mean?
It means that the Mac that I just bought my daughter this morning is
already obsolete.
That's what it means. But think about that the
technology that you're investing today is already
obsolete because we're going to hear what IBM's
doing. They're not looking today. They're looking
three years and five years down the road because they're here to
support you on this journey. So when you're ready,
they've already proven it.
And that's what helps us Moore's Law is
one of the critical pieces that we're going to add to
this puddled puzzle, which is making it available to transcend
information throughout your organization.
So that's an easy one. We know that one.
Who knows what this one is?
I know part of the room does this is Matt Cass law.
This is about Network Power so transistors and
it's what it is. It's the ability to connect.
Does anybody heard of this Cloud thing? It's just
a fat. It'll go away.
Right the elastic Cloud the ability
to connect. So how many connections exist
in the world today?
How many connections exist today?
It's an incredible number, but
what I'm saying, is that these two.
pillars
are one leg of a three-legged stool because
there's something else which is going to cause a disruption
A disruption. So deep that is
going to cause a step change in the way that we
think the way that we work the systems
that we working.
and I'm leading you to a different place which
is where I believe and I know
that IBM is going to take is on that Journey.
But it's where our kids interact today.
our kids don't
while they text of course, but they text in an immersive
way. They live in the digital world. They've gamified everything
and that's the world that we're going to
to live in.
Today maybe not but some people are and some
people are beta testing this technology already. So
this step change.
throughout history
There's always being the stasis.
And then something comes along and disrupts everything.
So we just went through covid. Was it a disruptor
damn skippy. We're all working from home and our
boxer shorts. That's a wonderful thing. Right? But
when I think about, you know,
the collusion and the Confluence of Moore's
Law and metcalfe's law. What
we're really talking about is the ability to create
a network of sensors.
a network of sensors
There are 10 to the power of
21 sensors connected in the world today. That's
a billion trillion.
That's the network power that our transistors are
able to connect to this is incredible.
Because it allows us to do things that we never thought
was possible.
A billion trillion is the estimated number of
stars in our galaxy by the way, how much
is intelligence is actually out there?
We can find out we can find out because
there are four critical helpers along
this journey. I'm talking about the elastic
Cloud Big Data iot AI
what did we learn about yesterday? Where is
IBM taken us down on this journey.
They're helping us realize the potential of accessing
that 1 billion trillion connection
points. It's really incredible.
So in order to finish that three-legged stool
I have to talk about huang's law and that's the the GPU power
the graphics processing unit. Right? And
basically that is doubling every year.
Doubling every year so that old-fashioned video that I showed
you which is really cool. It's only going to improve that
is the immersive world that we're
going to delve into we're going to dive head first
in it and you know, even some of
the gray hairs in this room,
We're already there right we go home and we play games and
we work in that world and we're interacting in
that world and we're texting in that world.
But that is going to be our interface as we
move forward because there's a pressing need to
move into this world.
the metaverse
So the metaverse is made possible by the
ability to consume information to
push information to connect and make the
ability to connect to and from from
virtually anywhere.
I can access people in the field. I can
be sad at home and seen the same information the
same p&ids from their Trimble headsets
or their Microsoft hololens. It really doesn't
matter what the platform is. It could be spot.
It could be a drone. They're just carriers that
enable us to get the devices and the systems
in the field so we can digest the information so we
can make confident decisions in
the field in real time.
in real time
It's really cool. It's really impressive and we're
there.
So you have a choice?
And I say this tongue in cheek.
But it's coming.
It's hurtling towards Earth so you can choose to
not look up.
You can choose it's a choice.
But in 1955 there was a
little thing called The Fortune 500 that was created.
and
there are only 57 of those Fortune 500 companies.
around today
57
and from year 2000
only 51% exist from that 500
and of the current crop 40% will
be gone by 2030.
My company is a cohesion of
eight companies.
and
if you think about it.
40% of this room
You're going to wear a different badge.
So that reality is coming my friends. It's coming
to a station near you.
so
I would suggest you get on the bus because I
want to be part of that world and you
know, try Riga Maximo perhaps
both it should be both right but it's
really this is the current vehicle that we
have to digitalize our intelligence.
Our intelligence as a species our intelligence for
the trades which are disappearing on our Engineers
which disappear every day every day. They check their
card and they might not come back. Have you tried replacing
one lately my goodness. We need a vehicle
to capture that critical information.
The most important asset in your corporation today
is the data. It's worth more than the
physical assets.
So let's talk about some of the accelerators you
need to scale.
So the elastic Cloud environment that we have available today
is the only way to scale
a digitalization effort. It's the only way to access those
10 to the power of 21 connections.
Adding people. Good luck.
Invest in them before they leave future-proof your
business by digitalizing what's in
their heads?
So they can believe in the decisions that are
going to be made by the systems that you interact with every day.
Speed we need to stop.
Procrastinating and move right because just
like those Fortune 500 companies.
If if we're not doing it, somebody else
is going to do it. And the reality is that somebody else
is going to use data to make us eat our lunch.
limit rework
so you can't go fast if you're always looking backwards.
But you can't go fast, right if you're always starting again.
So whatever you do put controls on your data.
So it's always Evergreen. So when you make a
decision, it's trustworthy enough. So when you put people
in the field, they're safe. They can achieve their mission.
And you can confidently ensure that
they're going to go back to their families or protect your business
because the business is not protected
today. If you haven't digitalized all your IP.
It's leaving in droves, right? We have
a crisis in the world today not just in this country
of losing our intelligence.
Right so sustainability.
Sitting still is not sustainable action. You
have to choose to exist choose to
act.
So one of the things I would suggest that you should invest
in is agnostic ecosystems which will
adapt and allow you to adopt what you
already own.
The data in your legacy systems is now completely accessible
and we can suck it in now, right? It
can be part of that billion trillion data
points, which is now fundamentally available
to all
But the choice is really you need to start and I
think there's dither in this room. We need to
start. We need to protect the nest we
have to protect the house.
Maybe if you're in Vegas, they always protect the house.
So protect the house. We're not rolling dice
anymore. Right? It's coming. Oh look
at that big rock up there.
Choose your partner's wisely, by the way, because as
a community of of Partners
and practitioners and helpers, we all
have to work together because there's more
at stake than just our profit and loss statements.
Right. There is more at stake here. We need to move
to a sustainable future. I said it the other day the world's
on fire. We got to do things differently.
So little quote happened a little while ago.
Alexander the Great
I have met the enemy and it is I
he was talking about what's in his head.
right
think about that at the at the trade level in
your facilities today what's in their heads?
They're uncomfortable. They're fearful, right?
They want to do better give them the vehicle give them
the tools.
Stop sitting and let's move forward, right?
every
there we're in a point of stasis, but we're leaving stasis.
Now. We're about to do a step change on
I choose to move and you should too right together
that can be the way that
we move forward because that's just
the better way to go.
Thank you.
