Four Rivers Software Systems Announces TMS Locator

The TMS Locator from Four Rivers is designed to reduce the time spent updating and searching for assets. With a sweep of a handheld tag reading device, TMS Locator updates assets in TMS. Best of all, any handheld tag reader that has a web-browser and a Gen 2 passive tag reader can be used, and there is no software to install.

Active RFID tags can be expensive, but TMS Locator uses passive tags which require less maintenance and are a fraction of the cost. This will allow organizations to get started tagging their assets quickly, while maintaining a reduced budget.

Barry Skirble, Chief Technology Officer at Four Rivers, explains, “Taking inventory or updating asset location is really as easy as walking into a room, scanning a tag located on the doorframe, and then scanning the entire room. TMS Locator lets you know your assets have been updated, and then you move on to the next room. It literally takes only a minute to update all of the assets within a room.”

With TMS Locator organizations can tag assets quickly, and maintain them easily.

Laying the Groundwork: The Role of Naming Conventions in Spare Parts Management Success

This article outlines best practices for overcoming these hurdles and highlights the foundational elements of a successful spare parts management approach.

Industry 5.0 Is Empowering Today’s Factory Workers and It’s a Long Overdue Revolution

The impacts of Industry 4.0 and its younger sibling, Industry 5.0, fall right down to today’s factory workers. While embedded automation and optimization within the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 have the power to drive new efficiencies, they have also led to the introduction of more complex job roles and tasks, but for fewer frontline workers.

From Data to Action: The Complex Path of Advanced Analytics and Reliability in Industry

In today's industrial landscape, the buzz around advanced analytics is hard to ignore. Companies are increasingly looking to harness the power of data to drive efficiency, reduce downtime, and gain a competitive edge. However, the journey from collecting data to taking actionable steps based on that data is far from straightforward.

Engaging and Retaining the Asset Management Workforce

Employee engagement and retention are critical for the success of asset management organizations. High turnover rates and labor shortages pose significant challenges, impacting operational efficiency, safety and overall workforce morale.

Do or Do Not

Data analysis is critical to understanding problems and decision-making. Analysis that is not followed up by an action is likely a wasted opportunity, but not always.

Achieving Trouble Free Bearing Life Through Defect Elimination

When a machine is designed, one of the major considerations the engineer must make is the selection of proper rolling element bearings. Some of the factors to consider in selecting bearings are shaft speeds, loads (both axial and radial), the environment they will run in, how to relube them, the duty cycle, etc.

Who Does This Belong To?

In today’s fast-paced connected world, you and your organization create an abundance of data. In the past, large corporations with multiple locations relied on in person site visits or information provided by the on-site team for updates to productivity in facilities. But what if there was a way to do this remotely?

How Forgotten Data / Information Can Cost Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars

There was a terrible fire in a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) plant. It destroyed piping and a critical air cooler (fin fan) and damaged pumps, valves, cables and supports. Fortunately, although there were injuries, no one died.

From Good to Great

A large water utility decided to investigate maintenance reliability best practices. There were eight different treatment plants and eight different maintenance managers.

So What?

A week after the plant started up after an annual planned outage, an injection pump motor failed. The motor’s insulation had failed, shorting between phases.
