Advantages of the Infravision-Application for Your Business
In many cases, electrical safety does not yet receive the attention it deserves. Most factories work with some kind of control, but this does not provide the desired data to ensure a high level inspection. In addition, working methods and the associated output can vary quite a bit per location. Especially if a company has several branches, spread over more than one country.

No, You Cannot Borrow My Truck
In 1951, the US Army began publishing PS Magazine. The idea was to publish a magazine about Preventive Maintenance that soldiers would actually want to read. They found an artist named Will Eisner and his company began creating artwork for the magazine. Eisner believed that comics had teaching potential and convinced many talented artists to help him. Each month contained a single-frame comic and an accompanying limerick called "Joe's Dope Sheet". Every month followed the story of Joe, a soldier who ignores preventive maintenance and learns of its importance in the end.

Motion Magnification Real-Life ODS
Real life ODS is a new way to visualize the vibration of a machine in the same way you used to do it using conventional ODS. Thanks to the technology developed by Erbessd Instruments you can collect data with your accelerometers and after that, just take a picture and you’re ready to complete a motion magnification analysis.

Avoiding Machine Failure with Oil Condition Monitoring
Lubricants, fuels and other key fluids analyses provide critical early warning information indicative of machine failure. By analyzing and trending data, one can schedule maintenance before a critical failure occurs. The results are higher equipment availability and productivity, lower maintenance costs, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), fewer outages, optimal equipment performance and a greener operation.

Electrical Reliability on the Grid Part V: Flywheel Storage
In the Federal government and commercial designs, there are a variety of designs including cylinders and solid mass systems. The mechanical components have lower failure rates with the effectiveness and reliability of magnetic and related guide bearings. The upper speed limit and resulting Watt-hour capability is based on the mechanical limits of the flywheel and shaft.
