[Breaking Free from Nominal Digitalization] Essential Asset Management for Successful Maintenance Reform Webinar
Toshiba is hosting a webinar to discuss the challenges of maintenance digital transformation (DX) in manufacturing and practical methods for strategic asset management based on ISO 55000. Addressing why simple system implementations often fail, the session emphasizes asset management based on holistic optimization and PDCA, featuring case studies using IBM Maximo and AI OCR.

## The Necessity of Maintenance DX in Manufacturing
Many manufacturing companies today are facing challenges such as responding to aging equipment and the loss of technical expertise due to the retirement of skilled workers. Particularly in regional factories and manufacturing bases, the traditional experience-based, personalized maintenance systems are reaching their limits in maintaining stable operations with limited resources. Consequently, there is a strong demand for Maintenance DX (Digital Transformation) aimed at data-driven decision-making and operational efficiency.
Driven by this, many companies have introduced IoT devices and maintenance management systems to visualize equipment and tasks.
## When Digitalization Fails to Deliver Results
However, many sites report that while visualization has been achieved, it hasn't translated into fundamental operational improvement. In some cases, the system has simply increased the burden of data entry, leading to a hollowed-out operational process.
This is because digitalization is being treated as the "purpose" rather than the "means," and there is a lack of data-driven design for overall optimization and a framework for continuous improvement (PDCA). As symbolized by the newly established "Global Asset Management Day," it is essential to re-examine maintenance operations from the perspective of overall optimization rather than partial fixes.
## Strategic Asset Management based on ISO 55000
In this webinar, we will address the question "Why does maintenance digitalization fail to produce results?" and explain practical methods for "Strategic Asset Management," which systematizes the concepts of ISO 55000 (JIS Q 55000 in Japan) for practical use.
We will cover identifying assets to manage, prioritizing based on risk, optimizing resource allocation, and deploying collected data to company-wide improvement cycles. We will introduce approaches to transform Maintenance DX into functional asset management through specific case studies.
In the latter half of the session, we will present practical examples of centralized management of equipment information using "IBM Maximo," an asset management platform with extensive global experience, and initiatives to digitize inspection reports using the cloud-based AI OCR service "AI OCR Synchro+."
## Who Should Attend
- Those looking to review maintenance operations or promote DX in manufacturing.
- Those interested in strategic design for asset management and equipment maintenance.
- Those who feel that their introduced IoT and systems have not provided tangible results.
- Those who want to build a site-led improvement cycle (PDCA) based on the ISO 55000 framework.
