Maintenance teams know these pitfalls. Coupling backlash, where manual positioning of the coupling is needed during a measurement rotation. Uncoupled machines, where laser and sensor heads must be separately and manually positioned on a machine, leading to possible errors and rework. Repeated moves and measurements just to get an accurate alignment result. In this webinar,…
The pandemic that has upended normalcy in 2020 is fueling urgency among maintenance leaders for system improvements previously viewed as “future considerations.” The ability to monitor asset health remotely, for example, has gone from a “want” to a “need”—something essential to stay productive in the near term and competitive over the long run. Around 82%…
Reliability is designed—literally and figuratively. Literally speaking, the inherent reliability of our equipment is governed by its design. But as equipment custodians, what we do (or don’t do) affects a machine’s reliability more than we may think—and it goes way beyond maintenance. In this webinar, RCM expert Nancy Regan details the winning reliability philosophy that…

What’s changed and what hasn’t in these challenging times of virus-driven decision making? As asset management and other maintenance and reliability activities continue, adherence to new pandemic-prompted standardized best practices is even more critical. In this webinar, educator and expert Dr. Klaus Blache will discuss the challenges but also the opportunities brought on by…
Experts estimate that up to 70 percent of initial CMMS implementations fail to meet expectations. A CMMS implementation is not just about CMMS data. It also involves centering empirical asset health data within your own cohesive synergy involving people, processes, and technology. In this webinar, Gregory Perry, Fluke Reliability Senior Consultant, explores the 10…
What if laser shaft alignment systems could automatically adapt to different assets, simple-to-complex alignment challenges, and any user’s skills and experience? Such adaptability is the hallmark of a new generation of laser alignment technology. With it, alignment jobs get done faster and with higher precision. In this webinar, Jonathan Gough, Fluke Reliability Product Manager…
