Untangling IoT for Condition Monitoring
New IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) wireless solutions for Condition-Based Monitoring (CBM) seem to appear on the market so frequently it’s hard to keep track of them all. Many of these new systems bring with them new technologies such as AI and machine learning, MEMS sensor technology and automated diagnostics – technologies that present the reliability and maintenance engineer with both challenges and opportunities.
The new capabilities offer the promise of wireless data collection and near continuous time monitoring while saving you valuable time. You would like test some of these systems, but it’s a substantial investment in time, energy and money. This talk will help you better understand some of the features and functions of wireless CBM, discussing some technology dependencies and a few other things to think about when considering piloting a system.

Driving PdM efforts from Managing Failures to Increased Reliability through Integration
PdM strategies have grown in equipment coverage and effectiveness for going on 50 years. The program’s strategy is designed to find early stage failures to proactively manage problems versus being controlled by them. Our ability to integrate PdM results with other plant systems and data has increased dramatically over the past decade. This new capability has broaden our visibility across all of our plant assets, providing an improved path towards recognizing repeating patterns, both mechanically and operationally. This webinar will detail the next generation of PdM program design, adding improved integration with plant systems.

The Detection of Gear and Bearing Defects Using Electrical and Current Signature Analysis
In this presentation we will discuss how to use ESA/MCSA to detect bearing and gear defects in a variety of driven equipment including geared elevators, cooling towers, and other applications, even when we are looking at a few RPM. We will discuss how to determine the correct frequencies as well as how to determine the defect severity amplitudes in -dB, and how to isolate the machine you are testing from nearby machines. Several case studies will be presented including an AC building elevator, a cooling tower, and at least one complex (multi-stage) gearbox using both data collection and continuous monitoring.

Using PMO to Test and Adjust Asset Strategies
Typically, strategies for maintaining assets are put in place when the asset is installed or as a reaction to a failure. These strategies range from a run-to-failure to continuous CbM monitoring. As a function is continuous improvement, it becomes necessary to go back and evaluate that strategy's effectiveness. In performing Preventive Maintenance Optimization (PMO), you to leverage actual performance against various inputs that created the strategy (FMEAs, RCAs, or even knee-jerk reactions) to determine if any changes are needed.

The Basics of Machine Vibration
Vibration is the machine speaking to us about how it feels, but unfortunately it’s speaking in a “foreign” language! However, with the benefit of some training and “interpretation” skills we can begin to understand the symptoms. In this webinar we will review the basics of machine vibration, how it is measured, where it is measured, what is measured, and when we need to take action!
