Tony Planamento’s primary goal is to assist Maintenance & Reliability Professionals reduce/eliminate unplanned downtime of rotating machinery (~50% of which is due to misalignment!) through the utilization and implementation of laser alignment, vibration analysis, and balancing technologies. As a mechanical engineer, certified vibration analyst (ISO CAT II), and Certified Reliability Leader – he also wishes to educate his peers on the Industry 4.0 and IIoT movement, increase environmental awareness by increasing mechanical efficiency, and minimize the wasteful “run-to-fail” method that so many industries rely on.
