Corey Dickens of Brightly Software recently joined CMMSradio to discuss AOMS (Asset Operations Management Software) as the next step beyond CMMS/EAM — and it’s got people talking.AOMS promises more than just tracking work orders. It’s about connecting maintenance, operations, reliability, and performance data into a single platform that drives real business outcomes.Key Points:Bigger Scope: Ties maintenance to production, safety, ESG, and finance.Shared Data: Gives everyone one version of the truth, in real time.Smarter Decisions: Leverages analytics + AI to guide priorities and optimize spend.Business-First: Focused on uptime, throughput, and profitability — not just maintenance KPIs.So, is this true progress — or just another acronym for us to learn? Let’s hear your take. 👇

We talk with Jennifer and Tacoma Zach of MentorAPM about asset management fundamentals, ISO 55000 alignment, and their sessions at SMRP (Oct 6–9, Fort Worth). They explain how a top-down, system-first approach helps teams prioritize the right work, optimize resources, and deliver business value. Tacoma shares a case where this approach led to same-day capital approval, showing how prioritization drives technical and cultural transformation.ISO 55000 focus – Aligning maintenance with business objectives.System-first thinking – Prioritize assets, not just tasks.Right work, right time – Optimize resources & reduce waste.Real-world win – Same-day capital approval through clear prioritization.Culture shift – From reactive maintenance to proactive asset management.https://mentorapm.com/

CMMSradio sits down with Scott MacKenzie of Industrial Talk to talk SMRP Conference, community, and the power of real storytelling in maintenance and reliability. Scott shares how passion for skilled trades starts young, why education and mentoring are critical, and how conferences like SMRP and IMTS keep the industry connected and inspired.🔑 Key TakeawaysSMRP is about people first – connection, collaboration, and passion drive value.Inspire the next generation – shop classes may be gone, but mentorship can fill the gap.Storytelling matters – podcasts and real-world stories beat corporate jargon.Keep momentum alive – conferences should spark year-round engagement.Tech is coming fast – quantum, AI, and digital tools demand we stay curious.

CMMSradio sits down with Mark Kingkade (Maintenance Expert & Consultant) with Waites to dig into what it really takes to transform maintenance beyond buzzwords and into business impact. We challenge the idea that technology alone can fix maintenance issues, stressing that leadership, discipline, and cultural alignment must come first.People & Process First! Tech is an amplifier, not a fix.Actionable measures like wrench time, PM compliance, and cost per unit.Maintenance Maturity: You can’t leapfrog steps — build stability first, then optimize.Without executive support, improvements won’t stick.True transformation sticks only if behaviors & expectations are clear and reinforced.The Real: Maintenance excellence isn’t a software upgrade — it’s a discipline, a culture, and a leadership commitment.

Brace Yourself!

Human Expertise Over Hype in Maintenance!

We welcome Bryan Bieschke, CMRP (VP of Maintenance Programs, UpTime Solutions) to talk about why he joined Uptime! They put human expertise at the center of reliability.

While AI and tech are powerful tools (and making lots of noise), real results still come from skilled people who know the work, ask the right questions, and build trust across the organization. Get in here and learn something! Oh, and we talked about SMRP 2025! Good stuff!! 🤘
