In this Best Practices webinar, Michael DeMaria, Product Manager for Fluke Reliability, will discuss the evolution of permanently installed online vibration monitoring systems. Michael will introduce a new integrated solution from the Prüftechnik Vibguard online hardware to deliver diagnostics analysis at scale and meet expectations for asset health and corporate sustainability objectives. Speaker:Michael DeMaria, Director,…
Most CMMS systems by nature are neither intuitive nor simple to understand. Here is where the adoption of a “best practice” CMMS Implementation methodology can be worth its weight in gold by ensuring the fundamental 3 C’s (consensus with clarity and certainty) are instrumental in the decisions you are making. This is definitely a great…
Discussing the real return on investment of properly aligning rotating equipment. As there is a renewed focus on reliability and vibration monitoring, I focus on a root cause. An often-quoted comment is “…why align a machine when it is fitted with a flexible coupling designed to accommodate misalignment?” I will talk about why this one…
Ensuring the success of your connected reliability program is essential for the management team. Many companies today are facing vibration data overload, where the excessive amount of vibration data exceeds analytic capacity in today’s wireless sensor world Azima DLI manages over 500,000 machine tests per year and uses algorithms, metrics, and processes to sustain those…
Reliability and Operations teams have always struggled with a repeatable process for defining criticality for maintenance spare parts management. It is often too easy to make everything critical and often entails a binary method of “yes/no” or “true/false.” Most criticality review processes are static (one and done) and are not revisited nor adjusted with changing…
What is the most effective method? Does your company perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA) or just failure analysis? What distinguishes these tools and when are they appropriate? Does your company have a written policy or procedure? Are these performed routinely after an incident or notable failure? Listen to one company’s process, challenges and successes in…
During this session we will review impact (safety moment), maintenance strategies, sensors, IOT gateways, monitoring options, baby steps, and the “Why?”. Speaker:Gary Stevens CRL, FMP – Director of Engineering and Maintenance at C&W Services With over 28 years of maintenance, reliability, and construction experience, Gary Stevens has held various roles of increasing responsibility and led…
Over their operating lives, motors and other equipment encounter various power quality events, including voltage unbalance, single-phasing, and momentary interruptions. Having familiarity with power quality events and how they impact facility operations is important. Adding equipment monitors and relays may provide long-term solutions to power quality issues. This webinar will analyze various power quality events…
This webinar discusses the labor constraints and experience constraints companies are facing when it comes to maintaining the health of their assets. Discover strategies to optimize asset management despite workforce shortages and how companies leverage technology and expertise to overcome experience-related hurdles. Speaker:Michael DeMaria, Product Manager for Azima DLI, a Fluke Reliability Company Michael is the Product…
In this topic we will discuss the use and utility of MEM’s sensors for vibration analysis. We will compare attributes of legacy Piezo electric sensors vs MEM’s including how each works, and strengths & weakness of each. We then discuss how we can leverage the MEM’s sensor in a wireless sensor package and what results…
