Integration guideAPI integration

IBM Maximo

Set up per project on the vendor’s API: connect equipment history and work orders to recurring production problems.

Once the API connection is configured, I’ll compare work-order history with the batches and quality events supplied for review.

What you get

Investigate equipment recurrence

  • Findings linked to source records
  • Missing evidence and unresolved questions
  • Follow-up work for your team
Illustrative work with IBM Maximo: a request to Neil, the source it reads and what it returns.

1What’s connected.

Connect equipment history and work orders to recurring production problems. Scope an API integration so Neil can use the permitted records to prepare analysis, reports and follow-up work.

Connection setup and permissions

Use Maximo Manage’s REST/OSLC APIs. Inspect the installation’s generated API specification and grant access to the selected object structures.

We scope this connection against the provider’s documented interface for your environment. Start with read access; any source-system changes need separately configured actions and controls.

2Start with the job.

Records in scope: Assets, work orders and service requests in the authorised Maximo object structures. Tell us the job, and we’ll confirm the interface, permissions and implementation scope with your team.

3What Neil can do with IBM Maximo once connected

Once the relevant API access and data mappings are configured:

Investigate equipment recurrence
Compare work-order history with the batches and quality events supplied for review.
Prepare maintenance follow-up
Summarise repeated failures and missing evidence in a proposed work package.
Review asset readiness
Collect available maintenance status and history without treating it as a return-to-service approval.

4Connection questions

Will this work with our IBM Maximo environment?

We check your product edition, API availability, authentication and permitted records against the job you want Neil to do. The linked provider documentation describes the interface; Seal does not yet have a guided connector for it.

5Before it goes live.

Access and any write-back

Define which records are in scope and whose permissions apply. Whether the connection writes back at all is a separate decision, with its own mapping and approval.

Data and failure handling

Agree the field mapping, identifiers, units and source of record. Test missing or duplicate data, interrupted transfers and recovery before relying on the connection.

Verification and release

Review the configured connection for its intended use. Keep the requirements, checks and evidence with the change, and approve the release through your team’s controls.
