MaintainX had a great time at the SMRP 2021 conference in St. Louis and loved seeing the energy from so many maintenance professionals. It was encouraging to see the community sharing common themes of both their struggles and triumphs over the past year. Many organizations are battling staffing shortages and supply chain issues. Yet, these same organizations reimagining processes that have been in place for years. The spirit of American ingenuity and resilience was on full display.

SMRP-MaintainX Takeaways

At SMRP, Knowledge Sharing Is Alive and Well . . .

across industry professionals. We met amazing maintenance and reliability leaders from every corner of the U.S. and loved hanging out with the international attendees! We heard about similar challenges faced by staff across different industries. Whether in mining, agriculture, manufacturing, and even public utilities, to name a few.

At SMRP, Folks Were Happy to Network . . .

and those who couldn’t attend in person joined via the SMRP chat platform and contributed to productive technical webcasts, such as the Maintenance and Reliability Best Practices session that reviewed Data Quality and Governance standards. Such standards are useful across industries to facilitate data transfers and imports, which can expedite the time to value of new maintenance practices and investments.

At SMRP, Industry Embraces Exciting New Technologies . . .

in artificial intelligence, enterprise software, machine learning, and IoT sensors. We shared success stories, with a sense of urgency to adopt these new tools. Organizations slow to embrace these changes are falling behind, not only from a production standpoint but with low staff retention. Legacy enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems aren’t going anywhere. And, platforms like MaintainX layered on top of these systems enable management to track real-time data from frontline teams with unprecedented levels of timely visibility.

Reliability engineers understand their responsibility to balance these changes with stable, consistent operations. The best engineers are able to find solutions that improve systems while keeping in mind change management. At MaintainX, we are aligned with that goal. We firmly believe that any software and tools are only useful if your team uses them.
