Understanding the New Age of Predictive Maintenance: AI, Machine Learning, and Predictive Analytics
The whole world is being transformed thanks to technological advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and predictive analytics. With the promise of Industry 4.0, and its application in everything from health care, movie ratings, and fraud protection - to name but a few - the world will never be the same. And with the availability of wireless sensors, fast networks, and massive storage, condition monitoring, and especially vibration analysis, will never be the same. There are giant commercial enterprises and small silicon-valley startups that have identified this opportunity, and industrial organizations that are finally waking up to the opportunity of predictive maintenance.

Professional Development, Education, and Accredited Certification
Have you wondered what the difference might be between the different certification programs? And have you ever wondered what the difference is between "accredited certification" and the other programs? Well, this presentation will clarify everything!
In short, you must determine whether it is important to be educated under structured, consistent international guidelines, or whether you should conduct ad hoc learning. You must decide whether the certification you receive follows a rigorous, independently audited process according to ISO standards or whether it is a commercial enterprise with very little transparency.

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.

Evolution of Vibration Analysis into the Asset Reliability Transformation
This presentation will begin with a brief history of Mobius Institute with a focus on why we exist. Then Jason Tranter, the founder of Mobius, will discuss how vibration analysis, and the other condition monitoring technologies all deliver tremendous value. Every organization's goal must be to eliminate the reasons why failure occurs, not just detect the failures themselves. Improving reliability has proven to be terribly difficult, and that is why the Asset Reliability Transformation [ART] exists. Jason will discuss his frustration with the way most people have had to approach their reliability improvement initiative and how ART resolves all those issues.

How To Avoid Bearing Problems In The First Place
In this Webinar, we will discuss a number of ways that we can avoid bearing failures. The topics will range from spares management, installation practices, lubrication practices, and operating practices. We will also discuss how we can detect the root causes so we can eliminate them before the bearing is harmed, and how we can learn from failures to avoid them in the future. It won't be a short Webinar, but it will be informative!

What Every Vibration Analyst Should Know About Time Waveform Analysis
Every vibration analyst should master time waveform analysis (and based on your votes, you want to master it!). This webinar will help to explain why it is so important to perform time waveform analysis, and it will describe the types of patterns you will see in the waveform, and how to properly measure the waveform...

Two Minute Tips
What Is Your Bearing Risk Appetite?
One question is, how much does it matter that we know how much life exists in our bearings? Ask yourself, what happens if it fails? How much does it affect the plant...

Two Minute Tips
How Do Speed and Load Affect Bearing Life?
Bearing life is proportional to speed. If we double the speed, we halve the life. And the life is proportional to the cube of the load. In other words, the higher the load...
