Evidence-Based Asset Management: Actionable Intelligence in the Era of Big Data

Five to 10 years ago, an asset manager typically made major decisions based on guesswork. That is no longer the case. With today’s greatly expanded access to data, all asset managers should be making decisions based on facts, using a process called evidence-based asset management (EBAM).

Competition With a Purpose

"Competition with a purpose," Honda North America's Hugo Beltran smiles as he summarizes Honda's first Skills Olympics held at the Marysville, Ohio, site on March 6, 2014. "As a company, we recognized the need to focus some effort on our equipment service technicians (aka skilled tradespeople), how they are an integral part of our organization. On a daily basis, we depend on our equipment service technicians to communicate with our operations people, troubleshoot equipment, identify faults, and make repairs or modifications to keep our equipment up and running. We also wanted to create an event that incorporated the teamwork from the executive level to the equipment technicians, while incorporating Honda's core philosophy of a challenging spirit," the associate chief engineer explained. "At the end of the day, while only one team went home with the gold medals, everyone who was involved came out a winner."

Caso Práctico Encontrado

Por Damian Molina Montejo

Una serie de pruebas y monitoreo On-line y Off-line fueron realizadas a un motor acoplado a un sistema de ventilación (6600V, 500HP, 1194 rpm), con el fin de analizar y evaluar su integridad eléctrica y mecánica. Para tener una conclusión contundente y fundamentada, fue necesario el análisis del comportamiento de las tendencias de cada una de las pruebas, teniendo como resultado lo siguiente.

Pump Technology Balancing

By: Heinz P. Bloch  

Process pump reliability logically involves a combination of fluid-related performance and design decisions that focus on engineering materials and the configuration of mechanical components. Recent case studies have pointed out improvement opportunities in the relative design conservatism found in certain process pump models.

Breakthrough Technology for Maintenance Inspections

by Sandra DiMatteo

Sustaining infrastructure requires good design, construction and handover, but ultimately, it’s the operating context and the inspection and asset care program that dictate how well an asset will perform over its lifetime and how long it will last. Know what the latest breakthrough in technology for maintenance inspections is? Drones!

Drone Inspection for IBM Maximo

by Stacey Miller

When one thinks of drones, images of unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) in military situations typically come to mind. The technology of these unarmed aircraft, such as camera feeds, GPS and vertical landing system equipment, creates opportunities to use them in practical maintenance applications, such as inspections of hard to reach and/or cost prohibitive to reach valuable assets.
