Ultimo will exhibit at Maintec 2026, the UK’s premier maintenance, reliability, and asset management event, held at the NEC Birmingham in June. Visitors can meet the team to explore how Ultimo is helping industrial organizations move faster and more confidently along the maintenance maturity curve – now with instant benchmarking, hands-on AI demonstrations, and a live panel debate.
At the heart of the Maintec 2026 stand is the debut of Ultimo’s new instant maturity model assessment – a streamlined tool that enables organizations to identify, in real time, exactly where they sit across Ultimo’s five recognized maturity stages: Reactive, In Control, Proactive, Smart, and Ultimate.
Mark Harris, Sales Director, UK & Ireland, Ultimo, explains: “Understanding your current position on the maintenance maturity model is the first step towards optimizing performance and maximizing asset value. The challenge is that perception very often differs from reality. Organizations typically believe they are further along the maturity curve than they are. Our instant assessment cuts through that ambiguity and gives people an honest, evidence-based picture of where they are today – and, critically, what it takes to move forward.”
Ultimo is also giving visitors the opportunity to explore how to benchmark their business against hundreds of peer implementations and help translate strategic ambition into a concrete, prioritized roadmap.
Maintec 2026 will also play host to a panel discussion bringing together prominent voices from across the asset management community for a candid conversation on the realities of EAM in industrial environments.
Ultimo is using Maintec 2026 to showcase its latest AI announcements – intelligent agents designed to autonomously carry out time-consuming maintenance and safety workflows, freeing teams to focus on higher-value work.
This wave of digital workers from Ultimo will target three high-impact use cases:
Asset registration acceleration: automatically extracting equipment information from photographs to populate the asset register, eliminating manual data entry
Daily maintenance briefing: delivering an automated morning briefing via mobile and communication tools such as Microsoft Teams and Slack to key people, summarizing key priorities and outstanding actions
Maintenance Planner Agent: autonomously preparing work orders based on asset data and failure history, reducing planning time and improving consistency.
The Company will also preview its plans to extend AI capabilities into planning and safety:
Maintenance Planner Agent (extended): searching equipment manuals to surface relevant maintenance guidance and support planners with more informed scheduling decisions
HSE Manager Agent: evaluating incoming work requests against Management of Change criteria to flag potential safety considerations before work begins
HSE Manager Agent (shift log review): scanning shift logs for safety-relevant content and automatically raising EHS incidents where required.
Ultimo works with industrial organizations such as Bristol Port Company, London Gatwick Airport, Freiberger, Renewi, and Recticel in the UK. Maintec attendees will be able to see digital workers in action on the Ultimo stand and speak directly with its team about how agentic AI fits into their own maintenance strategy.
