IBM Maximo Application Suite
+ Pathnovo Engineering Document Extraction

IBM Maximo (formally Maximo Application Suite, MAS) is the IBM EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) platform used by tier-1 owner-operators globally. Manages asset records, location hierarchy, Job Plans, PM schedules, work orders, materials, and asset performance through Maximo Manage. Extends to predictive maintenance via Maximo Predict, asset health via Maximo Health, monitoring via Maximo Monitor, and reliability via Maximo Reliability Strategies. Used by tier-1 NOCs (Aramco, ADNOC, Petronas, KOC), oil majors (BP, Shell, Chevron, ExxonMobil), Indian PSU (IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, ONGC), utilities, mining, and aerospace + defense.

Pre-certified data flow. Pathnovo extracts engineering data from P&IDs, isometrics, datasheets, mill certs, vendor manuals, and emits Maximo-compatible CSV files matching Maximo's asset, location, Job Plan, classification, and asset specification import formats. Maximo Integration Framework (MIF) API integration for ongoing sync; standard Maximo data load workflows for batch ingestion. Maximo licensing, security, workflow, and user interface untouched. Pathnovo runs as the upstream extraction layer; Maximo runs unchanged.

No. Maximo is the EAM platform; Pathnovo populates Maximo with structured engineering data. Complementary, not competitive. Maximo provides asset record storage, work order management, PM schedule, predictive maintenance via Maximo Predict, asset health via Maximo Health. Pathnovo provides upstream extraction: read engineering documents Maximo cannot ingest natively, emit Maximo-compatible structured data, feed Maximo. Pathnovo + Maximo is a stronger combination than Maximo alone for any owner-operator with brownfield content or non-AVEVA-authored engineering documents.

Maximo Asset Suite (legacy) is the on-premise Maximo deployment model used by many tier-1 owner-operators. Maximo Application Suite (MAS) is the modern containerised cloud-native deployment introduced by IBM. Pathnovo's pre-certified integration covers both: legacy Maximo Asset Suite via standard MIF / data load, and Maximo Application Suite via cloud-native API. For owner-operators planning Asset Suite → MAS migration, Pathnovo's data extraction layer is migration-neutral: same extraction output formats land in either deployment model.

Different scopes. NRX AssetHub focuses on operations/maintenance side of Maximo: building asset hierarchies for Maximo + IFS + HxGN EAM + SAP PM, with bi-directional EAM synchronization, asset data quality + cleansing, and AI document extraction via HubHead/DataSeer. Pathnovo focuses on EPC project delivery side: extracting engineering documents (P&IDs, isometrics, datasheets, mill certs, HAZOP) that produce structured data that feeds Maximo. Both feed Maximo; Pathnovo upstream of EPC delivery, NRX downstream of operations data quality. Most large owner-operators use both: NRX for ongoing data quality maintenance, Pathnovo for EPC project handover extraction.

Credit-based, with the full platform included on every paid tier. Starter is ₹40,000/$1,200 per month for 1,000 credits, Professional is ₹1,75,000/$5,500 for 5,000 credits, Scale starts at ₹6,50,000/$20,000 for 25,000 credits. Multi-site Maximo portfolios typically move to Scale or Enterprise. Indian PSU rate-card compatibility available. Maximo licensing is unchanged; Pathnovo is priced separately as the upstream extraction layer. For owner-operators planning brownfield Maximo MAS rollout, the commercial model fits standard EAM data migration project budgets. See /pricing.

(1) Tier-1 owner-operators with multi-year Maximo Application Suite rollouts on brownfield plants (Aramco, ADNOC, Petronas, KOC, BP, Shell, IOCL, BPCL, HPCL): Maximo data ingestion phase is the bottleneck; Pathnovo collapses 18-36 month manual data entry to 12-20 weeks structured extraction. (2) Maximo Asset Suite → MAS migration projects: data extraction layer is migration-neutral. (3) M&A integration: acquired plant Maximo asset register built from acquired-asset document archives. (4) Indian PSU + Gulf NOC Maximo deployments needing IBR / OISD / PESO / CCOE compliance overlays alongside Maximo asset register.

Yes. Maximo Health: equipment criticality + condition data extracted from inspection reports + vendor manuals; Pathnovo feeds into Maximo Health asset condition records. Maximo Predict: equipment-specific failure modes + maintenance protocols extracted from vendor manuals + reliability data; Pathnovo feeds Predict's ML models with structured training data. Maximo Monitor: asset performance dashboard data points populated from extracted equipment attributes + datasheet specifications. The full Maximo Application Suite ecosystem benefits from upstream engineering document extraction.
