Friends of Nano by CMMSradio featuring Colin Morris of MaintainXColin Morris (MaintainX) recaps his session with Michaels’ Michael Truitt on building a solid data foundation (standardized naming, clean assets/parts data) for successful CMMS/EAM rollout across seven distribution centers.Key takeaways:Real customer feedback drives MaintainX product evolution.Top pain points: labor shortage, parts delays, and AI anxiety about AI (“the big scary word”).Most sites still stuck in reactive maintenance → must fix basics before chasing predictive/AI.MaintainX embraces open ecosystems and multi-vendor collaboration.Blunt advice: crawl → walk → run; get the fundamentals right first.Fun note: MaintainX threw a huge rodeo party at the Fort Worth Coliseum. Excited for more innovation at SMRP 2026 in Raleigh, NC. Bring your boots!

Let's hear from Candi Robison and Daniel Rimmasch of Ultimo on Friends of Nano presented by CMMSradio! We talk about Ultimo being in the "Nanospehere" with Nanoprecise, the SMRP conference experience, and some of the trends in maintenance and reliability. Listen to Candi on the topic of ESG and sustainability being a major theme throughout the industry of late.

A big shout out to Ultimo for supporting this special production and CMMSradio! Find Candi and Daniel on LinkedIn if you need help on your CMMS or EAM journey!SMRP 2026 happens in Raleigh, NC!

In this episode of CMMSradio we present Friends of Nano from SMRP 2025 in Fort Worth, TX. We're joined by George Williams of ReliabilityX to talk SMRP, maintenance, technology, and more.

At the Mainstream UK Summit, CMMSradio interviews Douglas Chan from Climeworks, a company using direct air capture machines in Iceland to suck CO₂ from the air and store it underground forever. These “giant vacuum cleaners” help corporations offset the final 2–5% of emissions to hit net-zero by selling carbon credits. Douglas explains how maintenance strategies for this brand-new tech are built from scratch and shares lessons from his oil & gas and Tesla days, including an eye-opening story of Elon Musk ripping out a multi-million-dollar assembly line overnight to iterate faster.Climeworks removes legacy CO₂ from the air in Iceland and sells carbon credits for net-zero goals.Direct air capture works anywhere—only needs air, not tied to factories.No existing maintenance manuals; practices are created in real time.Douglas’s background: oil & gas → Tesla manufacturing → Climeworks.Elon Musk story: tore out an entire failing Model 3 assembly line overnight to replace it fast.Thank you, Douglas Chan, for joining us to share your journey and the innovative technology #Climeworks is leveraging for our planet!
