ProAIM Connects with Industry Leaders at the 2026 MAINSTREAM UK Summit

Discussing the future of asset performance, reliability and AI

ProAIM was pleased to attend the MAINSTREAM UK Summit 2026 in Birmingham, where our CEO, Dr Qiying Yin, Senior Reliability Consultant, Jamie Borley, and Sales Manager, James Jenkins, represented the company and engaged with professionals from across the maintenance, reliability and asset management community.

MAINSTREAM UK Summit took place in Birmingham, on 20–21 October 2026, bringing together industry leaders, engineering professionals and technology specialists to share experiences and explore the future of asset-intensive operations in two days.

Introducing ProAIM’s APM solutions to industry leaders

During the summit, Dr Yin, Jamie, and James introduced PRO-RCM software to delegates, discussing how digital solutions can help organisations improve asset reliability, maintenance effectiveness and operational performance.

The conversations reflected many of the key themes of this year’s event, including asset performance management, AI-enabled optimisation, data quality, asset strategy and the importance of connecting maintenance activities with measurable business value.

ProAIM also demonstrated its Spare Parts Optimisation and AI-FMEA capabilities through demonstration videos, showcasing how intelligent software can support better spare parts management, risk assessment and maintenance decision-making.

The demonstrations attracted positive interest from potential clients, with discussions highlighting the opportunities for organisations to improve spare parts availability, reduce unnecessary inventory and make more informed, risk-based maintenance decisions.

Exploring the role of AI in reliability and maintenance

The summit programme featured a wide range of presentations and workshops exploring how organisations are moving beyond reactive maintenance towards more predictable, data-driven and reliable operations.

Sessions covered topics including AI-enabled maintenance optimisation, predictive maintenance programmes, asset management strategy, data governance and the practical challenges of turning technology into operational value.

These discussions closely aligned with ProAIM’s approach to helping organisations make better use of their asset data and apply digital tools to support reliability improvement.

The event also highlighted the importance of people, leadership and organisational culture in achieving successful maintenance transformation, reinforcing the need to combine technology with practical engineering expertise.

Building relationships for future collaboration

MAINSTREAM UK Summit 2026 provided an excellent opportunity to strengthen relationships with existing contacts, connect with potential clients and explore opportunities for future collaboration.

For ProAIM, attending the summit was an important step in continuing to build our presence in the UK market and demonstrating how APM software, reliability expertise and AI-assisted solutions can help asset-intensive organisations improve performance and achieve greater operational value.

We look forward to continuing the conversations started in Birmingham and exploring how ProAIM can support organisations on their journey towards smarter, more reliable and more efficient asset management.
