Reliability Engineering Terms- Data Collection and Analysis
Data collection and analysis facilitates an understanding of field operational use profiles and environmental stress data and is critical for ensuring design/process robustness.
Understanding The Machine Data
Machine data is the set of physical quantities and attributes that the machine has or creates. This data is provided by various sensors, software, and machine manufacturers.

Cost Avoidance Within the Infrared World
Who does cost avoidance? What is it? Where would you apply it? Why would you worry about it? These are the questions that one should ask themselves. Most of the time is spent doing the physical work and analyzing that data to determine the condition or health of the equipment rather than thinking what our group did to save the company money. This article explains the methodology we used and why you should care about cost avoidance.

Software Reliability
Software reliability is the probability that software will operate failure-free for a specified period of time in a specified environment. It is an important contributing factor impacting system reliability (which includes hardware and human reliability).
Managing OEE to Optimize Production Performance
When we talk about operational efficiency in the industry, reality still shows us many challenges to be overcome. Although much is said about Industry 4.0 and about systems and technologies that enable unprecedented precision in the production process, the fact is that many companies still do not even measure the efficiency of their production chain.

Extend Asset Life with Oil Mist for Storage Preservation
Balancing today’s lengthy lead times/supply chain issues with the need to keep critical operations running smoothly, petrochemical and refining plants are hedging their bets by proactively ordering new or replacement equipment (e.g., pumps and motors) a year or more in advance of the anticipated install date.
