  • In my experience, there are three major influences on culture:

    Individual team members – Do they work together? Do they feel their voice is heard? Do they enjoy going to work every day?Supervision / management – Do they have an open door policy? Do they listen to employees? Are they willing to take acceptable risks with new ideas?Corporate – Are they driven by only the bottom line? Do they provide too much oversight?

    Easy efforts to improve the culture positively include ensuring that corporate, plant, department goals are clear, posted and understood, that communication occurs frequently at all levels, and that appropriate personnel are involved at the right level for decision making.

  • Ever asked yourself why you keep replacing the same bearings and seals? Often teams get stuck causing the symptom and fail to stop and find the root cause of the problem.  

    50% of rotating machine damage is directly related to imbalance, most teams just replace bearings and seals because alignment/balance takes too much time. It's important to fix the root cause of the issue instead of continually fixing the symptom.

    In this webinar you'll leave with a better understanding of:

    How to identify imbalance using vibration analysisHow to precision balance your machinesHow this will greatly improve the reliability/safety/energy efficiency of your machinesHow balancing machines is the first step on your path to improved reliability

  • Connected Reliability is a Framework that combines hardware and software systems from across the enterprise into one cloud-based maintenance ecosystem. Maintenance management is automatically integrated with data acquisition and analysis, giving industrial leaders unprecedented real-time visibility and empowering maintenance managers to make data-driven decisions that avoid downtime.

    Sensors can automatically measure condition and process-related data. Teams can use handheld smart tools to conduct routes. That information flows readily to the cloud, where algorithms and advanced analysis software predict machine failures and trigger automated work orders, so maintenance managers catch problems sooner. This combination empowers maintenance teams with real-time communication between machinery, data systems, and people.

    The automotive industry is full of complexity. Many companies manage multiple sites, production lines, and testing processes. The use of specialized parts requires optimizing inventory management and supply chain issues as well as managing vendor relationships. Worker safety is paramount, the quality of the end product is critical for consumer safety. Understandably, then, the automotive industry has more and stricter regulatory and compliance standards to meet than most other industries.

    The Framework of Connected Reliability can help industrial leaders in the Automotive industry to make enterprise-level maintenance decisions that prevent machine failures, reduce costs, improve worker safety, etc.

  • The road to excellence in reliability starts with sound business cases, determined executives, and a work force ready for change and continuous improvement.

    Most systems by nature are neither intuitive nor simple to understand. Here is where an experienced CMMS subject-matter expert working with the core team can be worth their weight in gold by ensuring you understand the decisions you are making. The adage, “you don't know what you don't know” comes to the fore here.

    In this talk Curt, with over 30 years experience working with EAM & CMMS solutions, will ensure you are aligned with your organization's Business Objectives and explain how a CMMS supports maintenance best practices while your maintenance best practices need to support your CMMS.

    If you find that your organization has not adopted maintenance Best Practices—this talk is for you as implementing a CMMS will not magically bring this about.

  • Today's maintenance departments can't afford crippling unplanned downtime and wasted energy. You could be losing thousands of dollars per year in replacement bearings and hours of unnecessary repair time.  

    Up to 50% of damage to rotating machinery is directly related to misalignment—most customers ignore it and simply replace the bearings and seals. See the benefits of precision alignment on most of your machines not just a few of the most critical:

    -    Improved uptime, revenue, and machine lifecycle

    -    Decreased power consumption and costs for storing  spare parts

    -    Less vibration leading to less wear (other faults)

    -    Lower temperatures on bearing, coupling, and lubrication

  • Your Maintenance and Reliability programs are only getting more complex. Between the supply chain challenges, disruptive technologies, remote work, and staff shortages, maintenance teams are being stretched and expected to do more with less. Predictive maintenance strategies can help. Understanding function and failure is the backbone of any Predictive Maintenance program. It lets teams focus on failure modes and prioritize plant systems, while sensors and software manage automated data collection and subsequent tasks. We will help you understand how to select a strategy with the appropriate technology and implement it into a new or existing program. We will also overview people and processes needed to successfully implement within an organization. The webinar will be educational for maintenance and reliability professionals beginning a Predictive Maintenance journey, as well as professionals working in programs that needs to be refreshed, restarted, or taken to the next level.
