Maximizing OEE & Asset Lifespan Through Adaptive Alignment

Wednesday, September 10, 2025 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM EDT

Misalignment is a silent killer of industrial machinery, responsible for over 50% of premature failures. While energy savings have traditionally been the focus, the real game-changer lies in boosting Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and extending asset lifespan. This presentation explores how Adaptive Alignment—powered by advanced laser technology and cloud-enabled analytics—reduces unplanned downtime, enhances reliability, and delivers measurable ROI through:

  • 30%+ improvement in OEE by minimizing vibration-induced failures.
  • Doubling bearing and seal life, slashing maintenance costs.
  • Data-driven insights to predict and prevent alignment drift.

Discover how you can turn alignment from a maintenance task into a strategic asset optimization tool.
