Here are some of the Artificial Intelligence difficulties related to Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS):
Data accuracy and quality:
For effective analysis, AI requires a large amount of high-quality data. Ensuring data accuracy and consistency within CMMS can be challenging due to a lack of standardization, human error and inadequate documentation.
Integration with legacy systems:
Some organizations may have legacy systems that are not compatible with Artificial Intelligence technology. As a result, integrating AI into Computerized Maintenance Management Systems can be a challenge, requiring significant redesign and implementation costs.
The complexity of maintenance operations:
CMMS may contain a vast amount of data, and maintenance operations can be complex, making it difficult for AI algorithms to analyze and interpret data effectively.
Limited Maintenance Data: Maintenance activities depend on data from the past, which allows for better forecasting of future maintenance activities. Although data quality may be good, the quantity may not be enough to provide for machine learning, making it complicated to implement AI.
Data privacy and security:
There may be concerns about data privacy and security of the maintenance data collected and analyzed by Artificial Intelligence. Users of CMMS systems will need to ensure that data is protected to minimize the risk of data breaches and compromise of sensitive data.
Limited domain knowledge:
Artificial Intelligence algorithms may not have domain-specific knowledge, essential for effective maintenance operations. As a result, subject matter experts need to be involved to ensure the AI systems can provide relevant insights into maintenance activities.
