Technician work for IBM Maximo, on iOS and Android

Supervisors assign work in IBM Maximo. Technicians complete it on the phone: the job in front of them, labour time, materials, calibration and, where used, Nova capture. Records write to the same work orders. Screens are process-led, with one action presented at a time.

Product capabilities

The work Maximo already holds, completed in the field.

MaxIron Mobile is the technician client. Assignment, procedures and history stay in IBM Maximo. The screens below use work order WO-18421 as an example.

Assigned work
Technicians see the work orders a supervisor has assigned in IBM Maximo, with the next job and the site in view.
Labour time
Start, pause and stop the timer on the job. Time writes back to the same work order.
Offline queue
Work continues when the network drops. Queued changes and sync conflicts stay visible until the technician resolves them.
Calibration
Assigned datasheets load while the device is online. As-found and as-left points are recorded on the Maximo procedure.
Materials and commands
Issue materials, create follow-on work and run the commands the process allows, without leaving the work order.
Nova capture
Glasses can propose a meter reading. Confirm, Reject or Retake is required before Maximo is written.

Who uses it

Field technicians
Close assigned jobs on iOS or Android, including sites with poor signal.
Maintenance supervisors
Keep assignment in Maximo. The phone shows that same queue to the trade.
Reliability and calibration
Capture as-found and as-left points on the datasheet Maximo already holds.
Programme owners
Choose MaxIron Mobile as MaxIron-built software, or an IBM Maximo Mobile rollout, against the same estate.

Work order

The screen follows the job the technician is on.

WO-18421 is in progress on PUMP-1027 at BEDFORD. The timer is running, with Pause and Stop available. The technician can report work and record materials against the same job.

Offline and conflict

Queued changes stay visible until they sync.

When the plant has no signal, the technician can still work. Queued writes remain listed. A meter conflict asks Keep local or discard. The disagreement is resolved on the device before Maximo is updated.

Calibration

Calibration uses the assigned Maximo datasheet.

The device loads the assigned Maximo calibration datasheet while online. The technician records as-found and as-left points against that procedure. Maximo's pluscwods work object holds the assigned datasheet.

Nova

Nova can propose a reading. The technician confirms it.

Speak from the phone, or review the glasses display in Wearer's View. OCR can propose a reading such as 26.8 degrees Celsius. The technician chooses Confirm, Reject or Retake before a reading reaches Maximo. MaxIron Nova provides this capture capability within Mobile.

Product boundaries

Plan the rollout around connectivity, local data storage and the technician's responsibility for confirmed readings.

MaxIron-built technician software

MaxIron Mobile is MaxIron software with its own screens, queue and Nova capture. IBM Maximo Mobile rollouts remain a separate service for the IBM application.

Visible queue, stated cache limits

The device shows changes waiting to sync and any conflicts requiring a decision. An encrypted cache is not a shipped capability in MaxIron Mobile.

Calibration needs a live connection

Assigned calibration datasheets load while the device is online. Offline calibration is not offered.

Nova still waits for a person

Glasses OCR and voice can propose a reading. The write waits for Confirm, Reject or Retake.

Questions buyers ask

What is MaxIron Mobile?

A process-led technician app for assigned IBM Maximo work on iOS and Android. Screens follow one action at a time. Offline queue, labour time, calibration and optional Nova capture write back to the same work orders.

How does this sit beside IBM Maximo Mobile?

IBM Maximo Mobile is the IBM application. We still roll that application out as a service. MaxIron Mobile is MaxIron software. Both write to IBM Maximo. The choice is which field client the estate will run.

Where does MaxIron Nova sit?

Nova is the glasses and ring or band used with MaxIron Mobile. It can propose a reading. The technician confirms on the phone or the HUD before Maximo is written.

What happens when there is no signal?

The technician can keep working. Queued changes and conflicts stay on the device. When Maximo and the phone disagree, the technician chooses Keep local or discard.

Does calibration work offline?

No. Calibration datasheets load from pluscwods while the device is online. As-found and as-left points are captured after that load.
