The First Agentic CMMS by Remberg is Revolutionizing Maintenance Management!David Hahn introduces remberg’s agentic CMMS featuring AI agents that work alongside maintenance teams instead of replacing them.Sign up for a demo: https://go.remberg.com/cmmsradioAI handles the administrative grind: work request triage, scheduling, documentation, and reporting.Technicians get more real wrench time (currently only 20-30%) by offloading paperwork and planning.Voice reporting, photo-based requests, and automated scheduling proposals make the system faster and easier.Managers stay in control: the AI suggests, humans approve.Goal: help smaller teams do more amid skilled labor shortages without adding complexity.Bottom line: remberg’s AI agents aim to free up technicians so they can focus on actual maintenance instead of fighting the system.Try it here: https://go.remberg.com/cmmsradioThis discussion unveils the next generation of Computerized Maintenance Management Software (CMMS) that incorporates AI agents to significantly augment maintenance operations.

Talking CMMS Maintenance and Asset Management with Gary Jones of ELECO

Gary Jones, Senior Sales Manager at Eleco (PMAC & Shire), draws on 30 years in the CMMS/EAM world to explain why so many digital maintenance projects fail.Main points:Most organizations buy on “shiny thing syndrome” and emotional pain points instead of clear, quantified business outcomes.Buyers rarely prepare properly — they lack documented requirements and don’t involve all stakeholders before talking to vendors.Overbuying is far more common than underbuying. Companies end up with complicated systems they never fully use.Honest maintenance maturity assessment is critical. Match the tool to where you actually are, not where a salesperson says you should be in five years.Implementation and change management are just as important as selection. Poor preparation in the buying phase usually leads to poor adoption later.Relying on a single champion is risky. Successful projects need multiple champions across departments.The industry is slowly shifting from treating CMMS as a compliance checkbox to using it for real operational value, but the skilled trades shortage remains a major ongoing concern.Bottom line from Gary:The software is rarely the real problem. People, process, preparation, and culture decide whether a CMMS succeeds or becomes another expensive failure.
