Surprising New Sensors to Extend Your Vibration Monitoring Capability
Tutorial / education on how measurement of motor current can tell you about not just electrical phenomena, but about electrical, mechanical, operational and energy efficiency, in the motor, transmission, driven machine and electrical supply system. This webinar will explain what conventional MCSA systems did and how they work, and explain how newer technologies such as Model-Based Voltage and Current (MBVI) systems effectively use the motor as a sensor, detecting torsional vibration signals. It will explore the similarities and differences between the outputs of MBVI systems vs conventional Vibration Monitoring systems, and the situations in which each technique has advantages and disadvantages.

Reliability 4.0: The Future of CBM and Reliability in an Industry 4.0 World
If you listen to some of the trade journals and marketing hype, AI, machine learning, and Industry 4.0 will end the need for "traditional" CM, maintenance, and reliability programs. What do you think?
If you are interested in my opinion, please join me for a presentation that briefly reviews the history of maintenance practices, briefly introduces what AI, machine learning, predictive & prescriptive maintenance, and Industry 4.0 are, and then discusses what CBM and reliability improvement should look like as these new technologies become more mainstream.

Towards Maintenance Excellence
Maintenance is a critical business function. It sustains your productive capacity, contributing to both fixed and variable costs. Well-maintained assets meet production commitments easily and at low risk, something that lenders and insurers like to see. Achieving maintenance excellence depends on many success factors such as leadership, strategic planning, skilled people, tactical activities, and continuous improvement. This presentation will explore the roadmap towards maintenance excellence.

Integrating Multiple CBM Technologies into Your Reliability Program
There are three ways to run a condition monitoring department. You can operate in separate groups, each with their own opinion of the health of the equipment based on their chosen technology. You can become more integrated where at least there is a shared view of the health of an asset. But the best approach, in the author's opinion, is where you take it one extra step: ensure the program is based on an analysis of the failure modes, ensure decisions are based on an assessment of the asset's criticality, ensure that the people receiving the information understand what to do with that information, and provide one clear statement of asset health that is accessible to everyone who needs it. This presentation will discuss the pros and cons of each approach and explain how to achieve the optimum state.

Condition Based Lubrication Best Practices Improving Overall Reliability
As the most common cause of bearing failure, lubrication is serious business. For many years, this “serious business” has been conducted in a way that makes perfect sense on the surface but in fact borders on being haphazard. Relying on time-based, periodic lubrication assumes bearings need to be greased at defined time periods will lead to the risk of under and over lubrication. By using ultrasound technology along with normal practices, you can combine standard time-based maintenance with condition-based predictive maintenance, gaining in the process both a clearer picture of what’s really going on in your machines to improved availability and reliability.
