Case Study: Novate Solutions achieves 24x7 process reliability with IBM Maximo Monitor

Using cognitive capabilities to spot the imperceptible

Novate Solutions, an engineering and technology services firm, wanted to improve industrial process reliability by making sense of decades of sensor data, spotting issues in real time, and reducing costly downtime. Working with IBM, the company used IBM Maximo Monitor and IBM Watson-enabled AI to turn existing IoT data into actionable insights and predictive maintenance capabilities.

IBM helped Novate integrate customer control-system data with cloud-based AI in its Support Operations Center to detect hidden anomalies, alert engineers, and prevent failures before they caused outages. The approach delivered measurable results, including a 24x7 reliability improvement, a 30% boost in product quality, and a 15% reduction in waste, while helping manufacturers reduce downtime and identify root causes faster.
