Predictive Maintenance Practices- Model for a Good Program– CONNECT Conversations
In this session we’ll be discussing this, along with various condition monitoring techniques, e.g., vibration, oil, IR, ultrasound, and perhaps others, and how and where to best apply them, and as importantly the systems and practices that need to be in place to optimize their performance, e.g., a direct link to the maintenance planning and scheduling process, and a proactive approach to eliminate the defects being detected.

The Industry 4.0 Roadmap and How I-care’s Approach Is Different
Industry 4.0 is what organizations are all striving for, but it’s not something that can be fixed overnight. To achieve sustainable results, a long-term mindset is needed. It is therefore essential to choose a strategic approach taken in stages. And, of course, the right partner to help you guide all facets of your organization through this major transition.

Simple and Easy Steps for Implementing Predictive Maintenance in Machinery using High Frequency Vibration Data and Edge AI
Currently, the most commonly used standard for maintenance processes is Time-based Maintenance (TBM) that involves inspection, repair, and part replacement at regular intervals. In general, TBM is not optimal and cost effective. On the other hand, Condition-based Maintenance (CBM) involves the utilization of various types of sensor data collected from machines to perform repairs or other countermeasures before malfunctions or anomalies occur, hence reducing the unnecessary cost of maintenance.

Why You Should Perform a PdM Assessment
If your plant has a long-standing PdM program, I recommend performing an assessment. I encourage people to do self-assessments, but you may at some point wish to bring in an outside professional to perform an overall program assessment. It’s kind of a score card…
