Essential Components and Their Purposes in Maximo Application Suite (MAS) Installation

Essential Components and Their Purposes in Maximo Application Suite (MAS) Installation:

Core Platforms and Infrastructure:

  • OpenShift Container Platform (OCP): Provides the Kubernetes-based container management required to host MAS and its applications, enabling scalability, resource orchestration, and high availability
  • Base Component- MAS Core: Contains foundational elements of MAS, including licensing and authentication, that support all MAS applications.

MAS Applications (optional based on requirements):

  • Manage: Core asset management application that helps users manage maintenance, work orders, and asset lifecycle.
  • Monitor: Provides real-time monitoring of assets and operational data for improved performance insights and anomaly detection.
  • Health: Assesses and evaluates asset health based on operational data and historical trends to predict possible failures.
  • Predict: Uses predictive analytics to forecast potential asset issues, allowing proactive maintenance and operational planning.
  • Safety: Ensures safety compliance and incident management, helping organizations protect workers and assets.
  • Assist: Provides AI-driven assistance for maintenance tasks, supporting technicians with detailed instructions and recommendations.
  • Maximo Visual Inspection (MVI): Uses AI for visual inspection of assets, detecting defects and monitoring conditions with image analysis.

Add-Ons and Industry Solutions (based on requirement):

  • Add-Ons: Additional features and functionalities to enhance MAS based on organizational needs, such as IoT integration or augmented analytics.
  • Industry Solutions: Specialized modules tailored to industry-specific requirements (e.g., utilities, manufacturing, transportation).
  • IoT & Tools: Integrates IoT capabilities for real-time data capture from connected devices, providing operational insights and automation potential.


Additional Components for Installation:

  • Service Binding Operator: Manages service bindings, connecting applications with their dependent services within OpenShift.
  • Cert Manager: Automates certificate management, ensuring secure communication between MAS components.
  • MongoDB: A NoSQL database used for storing application data, especially suited for flexible, unstructured data models.
  • Business Automation Services (BAS): Provides automation tools for workflows and business processes within MAS.
  • Security License Service (SLS): Manages licensing across MAS applications, controlling access and usage rights.
  • IBM Cloud Pak: A suite of IBM services that provide additional cloud capabilities, including automation and integration, supporting MAS’s cloud-native architecture.
  • WebSphere Application Server (WAS) Liberty: Lightweight Java runtime environment that supports application services within MAS.
  • Apache Kafka: Provides data streaming capabilities, handling real-time data feeds for various MAS applications.
  • IBM DB2 and DB2 Warehouse: Database solutions for storing structured data, essential for analytics, reporting, and application data.
  • Apache Spark: A data processing framework for large-scale analytics, supporting predictive modeling and data science within MAS.
  • NVIDIA GPU Operator: Manages GPU resources for workloads needing high-performance computing, often used in machine learning tasks within MAS.

Main MAS Components with Dependencies:

  • Core Installation Dependencies: MongoDB, BAS, SLS
  • IoT Setup: Kafka, DB2 Warehouse
  • Manage: Core and DB2
  • Monitor: IoT, DB2 Warehouse, Kafka, and MongoDB 
  • Health: DB2 and DB2 Warehouse
  • Predict: IoT, Apache Spark, Health, Monitor, DB2 Warehouse, ML, Watson Studio
  • Visual Inspection: NVIDIA GPU Operator
  • Assist: IoT and DB2 Warehouse
  • Safety: Object Storage, CouchDB, and Watson Discovery
