AMI: AI-Driven Insights for Hexagon EAM

While Hexagon EAM provides a strong foundation for managing enterprise assets, today’s asset-intensive organizations face a new challenge: turning operational data into foresight. Knowing what happened is no longer enough—teams need to know what is likely to fail, where the risk is rising, and what action to take next.

This is where AMI (Asset Management Insights) comes in.

AMI is an AI/ML-powered Insights layer designed to enhance Hexagon EAM by delivering predictive insights, risk visibility, and visual asset intelligence—all in one integrated experience.

What is AMI?

AMI is a smart analytics and AI platform that sits alongside Hexagon EAM to:

  • Analyze historical and real-time asset data
  • Detect patterns that signal failure or degradation
  • Identify high-risk assets before breakdowns occur
  • Use images and visual data to assess asset condition

Instead of relying only on work order history and manual inspections, AMI helps organizations see risk early and act proactively.

Identifying High-Risk Assets Before Failure

Not all assets carry the same level of risk. Some failures lead to minor delays, while others can cause safety incidents, production losses, or regulatory exposure.

AMI continuously evaluates assets using multiple signals such as:

  • Failure history and recurrence patterns
  • Maintenance frequency and overdue work
  • Downtime trends and reliability metrics
  • Criticality, safety, and operational impact

By combining these factors, AMI highlights high-risk and at-risk assets, allowing maintenance and reliability teams to prioritize the right equipment—rather than treating all assets equally.

This risk-based approach enables:

  • Focused maintenance planning
  • Better resource allocation
  • Reduced unplanned downtime
  • Improved safety outcomes

Image Analysis: Visual Insights for Asset Condition

Many asset conditions cannot be fully captured through numbers alone. Field inspections, drone images, thermal images, and site photos contain valuable signals that often go underutilized.

AMI's Image Analysis module uses AI to:

  • Detect visible defects, corrosion, leaks, cracks, or wear
  • Analyze changes in asset condition over time
  • Flag anomalies that require further inspection
  • Support condition-based maintenance decisions

This reduces dependency on purely manual visual checks and helps teams scale inspections without compromising accuracy.

Image Comparison: Tracking Asset Degradation Over Time

Understanding how an asset is changing is often more important than a single inspection snapshot.

AMI's Image Comparison module allows users to:

  • Compare “before vs after” inspection images
  • Track progressive degradation visually
  • Validate maintenance effectiveness
  • Support audits, compliance, and failure investigations

By visually comparing asset images across time periods, teams gain a clear, evidence-based view of how quickly an asset is deteriorating and whether corrective actions are working.

From Data to Decisions: AMI + Hexagon EAM

AMI does not replace Hexagon EAM—it amplifies it.

Together, they enable:

  • Predictive maintenance strategies
  • Risk-based work prioritization
  • Visual condition monitoring
  • Executive-level insights through dashboards
  • Faster, more confident decision-making

Maintenance teams get actionable insights. Reliability engineers get deeper analysis. Leadership gets clarity on where risk, cost, and performance intersect.

Why AMI Matters Now

As asset environments grow more complex and skilled resources become scarce, organizations can no longer depend solely on reactive maintenance or static reports.

AMI helps enterprises move from:

  • Reactive → Predictive
  • Manual → Intelligent
  • Data-rich but insight-poor → Insight-driven

Final Thoughts

AMI transforms asset data—structured and visual—into practical Insights. By identifying high-risk assets, analyzing images, and tracking condition changes over time, AMI enables organizations to act before failures happen, not after.

When combined with Hexagon EAM, AMI becomes a powerful enabler of smarter, safer, and more resilient asset management.
