Peyton Griggers HxGN EAM TELLS ALL on CMMSradio at StrEAMline 2026

CMMSradio episode from Streamline Conference 2026 in Greenville, SC, features Peyton Griggers of Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence (Octave)!Peyton shares his journey: textile engineering at Georgia Tech → plant startups → early Datastream CMMS → trainer/technical lead → 20 years at Genesis Solutions (configuring systems → delivering reliability services) → back at Hexagon focusing on asset lifecycle strategy.Core message: People, processes, and culture beat software every time. Ask why, what success looks like, and how to measure it before buying tools. No tool fixes bad governance, weak ownership, or missing champions. Invest in internal advocates, document processes, train continuously, and build long-term relationships.Pitfalls highlighted: Turnover kills knowledge, lack of ongoing training for EAM owners, swapping software instead of fixing underuse.AI take: Exciting potential, but useless (or misleading) without clean data, solid processes, and governance first.Peyton’s favorites: Helping clients build strategic plans, define criticality, see “lights go on” with real results (better production, energy savings, impact on lives). Bottom line: EAM/CMMS wins come from aligned objectives, committed people, strong processes, and continuous improvement—not the flashiest tech. Solid, no-hype talk.
