Go paperless with CMMS software
Searching for and recreating lost paper documents costs organizations mightily. Those with 1,000 employees spend approximately $2.5 million to $3.5 million per year on such tasks, according to the research firm International Data…
How to Make Data-driven Decisions with Connected Reliability
The push to transition to more sophisticated digital tools, such as computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) software and condition monitoring sensors, is inescapable. By integrating condition monitoring data with CMMS software, maintenance and…
Pairing the P-F Curve with Condition Monitoring
The P-F Curve is a concept illustrating an asset’s progression toward failure. The X-axis of the chart represents the time to failure, beginning with an asset’s design and installation, and the Y-axis represents an asset’s resistance to failure. Potential failure, or…
The Hive: Vibration monitoring saves time
In this edition of The Hive, our bees are working hard… or hardly working. By harnessing the power of predictive maintenance and condition monitoring, they’re working smarter and playing harder than ever before.
Potential-Failure (P-F) Curve FAQ
The Potential Failure (P-F) Curve is a visual tool for communicating the condition of a component and its decline toward failure. With an optimized maintenance program, you can prolong the time until failure…

Lubricated roller bearings are like a well-hydrated person. More likely to be reliable when it matters. Learn more here!
4 Keys to Condition-based Maintenance
The IIoT offers opportunities to increase asset reliability using condition-based maintenance (CBM). Apply these four steps to ease adoption!
Engineering safer environments with remote sensors
Governments have passed laws holding businesses responsible for providing employees with a safe working environment. Workplace conditions that pose a risk to personnel should be avoided or training completed to minimize hazards. Thankfully,…
Closing the Operations-Maintenance Gap
Over the last 20 years, there have been major advancements in maintenance technology. Evolutions—whether in Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) software or Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) systems, such as Maximo—have focused almost exclusively…
