Robert Macaulay, Digital Technology Solutions at Baker Hughes, brings 15 years of experience across engineering, manufacturing, operational excellence, reliability, solution consulting, and enterprise technology strategy. His expertise focuses on helping energy and industrial organisations connect technology investments with measurable improvements in productivity, asset availability, cost, risk, and business performance.
In his session, “From Reactive Maintenance to Predictive Operations: Unlocking Production, Reliability, and Risk Reduction Through Modern Asset Performance Management in Oil & Gas,” Robert explores how oil and gas operators can transition from reactive maintenance to predictive, risk-based asset performance management. The session examines how operational data and reliability engineering can create a unified view of asset health, while predictive analytics can improve production, maintenance effectiveness, and reliability. It also highlights approaches to reducing unplanned downtime and scaling APM across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.
