All your asset information readily available in one portal

Maintenance history, manuals, sensor data, and financial data: your asset data is spread across various systems. Employees have to switch between ERP, SCADA, document management, or EAM. This costs time and can lead to errors. What if you had all this information directly in one overview? Decisions would be faster, maintenance more efficient, and risks more manageable.

Every type of data counts

Historical maintenance data supports preventive maintenance, real-time sensor data shows the current condition, financial data helps you with investment decisions, and manuals and safety instructions are crucial for compliance. Much of this information is in your EAM system, but ERP, SCADA, and document management systems also contain valuable data.

GAMIS: everything in one overview

We have an idea: why not put all your asset data together in one portal? This is possible with the Gemba Asset Management Information System (GAMIS). With a Google-like search function, you can find everything you need in one go: work orders, manuals, IoT sensor data, financial figures, and more. You can see the status of your assets at a glance and easily gain insight into maintenance, performance, and risks. You can take immediate action without manually linking information or switching between systems. GAMIS offers a cockpit for all your assets and processes. With map functionality, you can immediately see what is happening where, role-based searching ensures that employees always get the right information, and integration with your EAM and other systems is seamless. This way, you literally have all the information at your fingertips – clear, up-to-date, and directly usable.

The difference in practice

For example, a reliability engineer who monitors a critical pump no longer has to combine data from IBM Maximo, SCADA, and Excel. They can see directly in the warehouse which part is needed, which manual belongs to it, and when the last maintenance took place. And your planners can efficiently plan work orders without time-consuming manual work. Thanks to GAMIS, everyone works with the same up-to-date information, which significantly reduces downtime and errors.

Technology, security, and scalability

Under the hood, GAMIS uses Elasticsearch, making documents and data available within seconds and enabling near real-time insights. At the same time, the system complies with the security principles of IBM Maximo and OpenShift: only explicitly allowed actions are possible (zero trust), communication between containers is secured via TLS encryption, and SELinux Mandatory Access Control provides a second line of defense at the kernel level. This way, you work safely and efficiently.

GAMIS is platform-independent and scalable. Whether you work on-premises, use the Gemba Cloud, or have a hybrid environment, the system can be easily expanded. Scaling up or linking to new data sources is arranged within a few steps, allowing GAMIS to grow with your organization.

More control, less risk

By combining data from your EAM and other sources, you get a complete overview of your assets: location, condition, maintenance history, and performance. This allows you to identify risks faster, optimize maintenance, and act proactively before problems arise. Compliance becomes easier because all data is available centrally and uniformly. And knowledge is retained, even when experienced employees leave.

Work more efficiently and smarter

GAMIS saves you time by preventing endless searches and manual data entry. Maintenance planning, spare parts ordering, and reporting are automated, reducing the chance of errors. Everyone – from mechanics to planners and managers – has access to the same up-to-date information. This leads to faster decision-making, shorter lead times, and lower costs.

Return on Investment and competitive advantage

The value of GAMIS lies not only in time savings but also in lower risks, fewer failure costs, and better continuity of your business operations. Organizations that have their asset data in order are at the forefront. With GAMIS, you show that you have control over your assets and base your choices on facts. This radiates reliability and professionalism and gives you a competitive advantage with customers and partners.
