As Enterprise Software moves to the Cloud and as Machines connect to the Internet of Things (IoT), all of our assumptions about how to run an effective sustainment program needs to be reevaluated. In the past, machines were dumb, and people were smart. The opposite may be true by 2025. Everything that you know about supply and maintenance will be challenged as we look at the future of sustainment during this thought provoking session.
In the past, the best maintenance programs were based on disciplined preventive maintenance strategies. Preventive maintenance may be completely replaced by predictive and machine requested maintenance by 2025. How will virtual reality, machine learning, blockchain, and many other emerging technologies change the role of the supply and maintenance professional? In support of the never-ending effort to lower sustainment costs and optimize the performance of military systems, the Oracle SCM Cloud has empowered the expansion and use of predictive and prescriptive solutions. Oracle SCM Cloud is successfully deployed by asset-intensive companies around the world.
