This informational session will familiarize attendees with the formal Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) Analysis process, methods to integrate stakeholders into the RCM process, and highlight the critical insights that are available from the application of this process to support building a cost-effective maintenance program. The presentation content provides the groundwork for optimizing “uptime” and equipment reliability as applied to complex systems.
While CM (condition monitoring) and CMMS (computerized maintenance management systems) are accepted as necessary tools in progressive industrial entities, they are surprisingly rarely integrated or implemented together. So, why are these data sets siloed or left unused more often than not? How do we close this gap in the pursuit of reliability?
What happens when two great companies get together and create a joint development project based on software portfolios? That is just what Siemens and Bentley did to create a new product called
The availability of IIoT tools does not change the primary purpose of maintenance which is to ensure that production equipment is available and operating sufficiently to meet production goals. What has changed is the operating ecosystem and the access to asset information throughout the ecosystem over the lifecycle of the asset.
A weekly collection of recommended articles and videos to boost your reliability journey. Right in your inbox
The team at Mercer loves new technology and as a result, received the 2019 Uptime Award for Asset Condition Monitoring. However, they also know that without motivation, training and the right
Starbucks Manufacturing includes six roasting plants. Like most manufacturing operations there are formal missions and metrics for manufacturing, quality, safety and environmental compliance. The Starbucks operations leadership team was asked, ‘How can you achieve one of these missions – let alone all four – without safe, reliable equipment?’
Reliability transformations call for significant investments in capability, process, and supporting tools and enablers. Despite significant investment, many reliability transformations fail when no clear roadmap exists. Should a roadmap exist, organizations often waver on their commitment to value management and longer-term vision for transformation sustainment. A proactive approach to your reliability journey should begin with sustainability.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way we work and live. The rise of AI has been largely driven by one tool in AI called Machine Learning (ML). In this presentation, you will be given a realistic view on what AI and ML really is and their applications in the industry.

(Lansdale, PA) - SKF is investing approximately $50 million in strengthening its manufacturing footprint and competitiveness in North America. Approximately $28 million is being invested in expanding and automating manufacturing processes at the Group’s factory in Sumter, South Carolina.
The Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) is an Air Force Test Center (AFTC) organization and an important national resource. The AEDC operates more than 55 aerodynamic and propulsion wind tunnels, rocket and turbine engine test cells, environmental chambers, ballistic ranges, sled tracks, centrifuges, and other specialized units at multiple operating locations. Due to the age, uniqueness of the test systems, and the non-production mode of operation; sustaining these national assets is a challenge.
