Listen "Reliability Radio EP 342: THE AI EASY BUTTON MYTH Candi Robison - Ultimo"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode of Reliability Radio, hosts Jonathan Guiney and Brendan Russ welcome Candi Robinson from IFS Ultimo to confront the biggest misconception in Enterprise Asset Management (EAM): that AI is an "easy button" that will magically fix every operational problem. With two decades of EAM experience, Candi argues that technology cannot solve a foundational problem. She reveals that many organizations are still stuck using antiquated practices, like printing work orders, while expecting to jump straight to Industry 4.0. This candid session covers: The Data Reality Check: Why 20 years of inaccurate data will shape (and potentially break) your AI-driven future. The Work Ahead: The essential steps—like implementing mobile solutions and achieving transparency—that must be completed before AI becomes useful. Ultimo's Solution: How Ultimo embeds AI into the work order process to aid technicians and enforce better data entry, driving accuracy and educating users. Single Pane of Glass: The importance of a unified platform to drive KPIs and manage compliance, especially amid changing economic and sustainability pressures. Stop debating AI and start fixing the fundamentals.
