AI-Driven Asset Maintenance: Predict Failures Before They Cost You

Shift from reactive to predictive maintenance with AI tools that forecast equipment failure, optimize schedules, and reduce lifecycle costs—without needing a complex tech setup.

Course Description:

This 2-day course empowers facility managers, asset owners, and maintenance teams to move from reactive to predictive maintenance using AI and machine learning. Instead of waiting for costly breakdowns or relying on rigid schedules, participants will learn how to use data from sensors, logs, and inspections to forecast equipment failure, optimize maintenance cycles, and reduce lifecycle costs.

Designed with a focus on practical tools and ROI, the course demystifies AI concepts through real examples from commercial buildings, public infrastructure, and industrial facilities. Participants will leave with the skills to interpret AI-powered maintenance insights, make smarter replacement decisions, and build the case for predictive maintenance in their organizations.

Who Should Attend:

• Facility Managers and Maintenance Supervisors
• Asset Managers (Buildings, MEP, Infrastructure)
• Public Infrastructure Authorities
• Real Estate Developers and Operations Teams
• O&M Contractors

Course Objectives:

Knowledge Acquisition:

• Understand the principles of predictive maintenance and AI's role in asset management
• Learn about condition-based maintenance, anomaly detection, and failure prediction
• Explore how AI models process historical and sensor data for maintenance forecasting
• Review global case studies from smart buildings and infrastructure projects
• Grasp the pros and cons of reactive, preventive, and predictive maintenance

Skills Development:

• Identify key data points for AI-driven maintenance (sensor, manual logs, inspections)
• Interpret dashboards and maintenance forecasting tools
• Develop risk-based maintenance plans
• Evaluate equipment lifecycle costs using predictive analytics
• Detect early warning signs through data patterns

Practical Application:

• Build a predictive maintenance schedule for a key asset class
• Run a mock failure prediction using sample data
• Prioritize assets for condition monitoring
• Create an AI-supported maintenance audit report
• Identify cost savings from reduced downtime and extended asset life

What will I Learn From it:

• Reduce unplanned downtime by detecting issues early
• Extend asset lifespan through smarter scheduling
• Replace expensive over-maintenance with targeted actions
• Justify budget for predictive tools using real ROI
• Develop a tech-enabled asset management strategy
