Is your data ready for AI?
Completeness, consistency, standardization and traceability: the four questions that come before any model.
SMRP 2026 talk · free PDF
AI doesn't fix bad data. It amplifies it.
The talk I presented at the SMRP 2026 conference: how generative AI enters maintenance planning, decision-making and failure analysis, and what needs to be in place before it.
What's inside
From the pump nobody understood to the agent that shows its sources.
The talk follows the P-200, a pump with five sensors and a history that only says “done”. Each chapter answers a question every maintenance manager has asked.
02
Predictive AI and generative AI
One detects and predicts; the other interprets, connects and explains. Complementary, not competing.
03
Secure access to the right information
How to connect AI to the maintenance system with permissions, context filtering and an audit trail.
04
Seven agents for the real week
Express service requests, assisted maintenance, reports, weekly scheduling, failure patterns, diagnosis and governance.
The speaker
Rodrigo Rotondo, CMRP.
Thirty years in maintenance and asset management, from the shop floor to founding a maintenance management platform with more than 250 customers in Brazil and the US. At SMRP 2026, I shared the stage with Rafael Araujo Kluska, PhD, a generative AI specialist: two sides of the same problem, the reality of maintenance and the capability of AI.

What's next
Maintenance with AI: the new home for what I teach.
The talk is the beginning. At rodrigorotondo.com.br I bring together the method for AI to work like an experienced maintenance and reliability engineer, with evidence and with the decision in the hands of whoever signs off.
