ICMIAM — 2024 is built upon a long-established history of academia, professional association peak bodies and industry collaborating to provide asset management and maintenance conferences and technical events in Australia and India, Since 2009 the Gladstone Campus of Central Queensland University has been involved in delivering asset management and maintenance events. In 2014 both Central Queensland University and the Asset Management Council were involved in COMADEM2014 in Brisbane. Maintenance, Reliability, and Asset Management events have been held regularly at the Churchill Campus of Federation University in conjunction with the Asset Management Council since 2016. Due to the demand for access to knowledge in asset management and its link with systems, standards and technology and the desire to extend the collective efforts of Universities, Peak Bodies and Industries to others in the wider Asia- Pacific region. the event in 2020 was held for the first time outside of Australia. This Conference has the strong support of industries, universities, professional bodies and wider communities.

Industrial and municipal assets have a number of systems and subsystems, hardware, sensors and software including rotating and sliding parts. It is well known that failure mechanism and degradation behaviour of these parts and subsystems influences life of those systems.

In order that informed decisions are taken by maintenance, reliability and asset management professionals to improve performance and productivity, it is imperative that the behaviour of machine components and sub systems with regard to the performance of the system, costs and risks associated with various options in maintenance and replacement decisions are better understood. But there are issues and challenges in understanding these by maintenance, reliability and asset management professionals and researchers. The tools and techniques necessary for better maintenance can be developed and applied with an enhanced understanding of reliability, availability, maintainability, safety, security and tribology. 

In recent years, the concept of Industry 4.0/5.0 which deals with Remote Performance Monitoring (RPM), Internet of Things (IoT), Advanced Robotics, Machine and Deep Learning, Cloud Computing, Data Analytics, Digital Twins and Smart Machines is making a significant contribution to Maintenance, Reliability and Asset Management, The evolution of these maintenance philosophies along with international standards including IS055000 series have been influenced by the developments in a host of technologies, decision models and asset management framework. 

Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, big data analytics and smart machines are changing our lives in every sphere. These technologies and analytics are going to have a significant impact on how maintenance, reliability and asset management strategies evolve.
