CLEVELAND, OHIO -- TestOil, the industry leader in fluid analysis, just announced that they were featured in the Lean Six Sigma publication iSixSigma. The article, which was published by iSixSigma earlier this month, is authored by TestOil’s Lean Continuous Improvement Engineer Shubram Subramanyam.
GE Appliances’ major plastics department had the reputation of a dirty, leaky hydraulic area. In December, 2016, we embarked on a precision lubrication management program across our 8 plants in the U.S.
Imagine having a tireless colleague that can watch your problem machines 24/7. A colleague with a photographic memory and vision that can slow down motion, amplify it, and share that with your whole team. Now you never have to miss getting the right data and you do not have to guess at what it means. And better yet, you do not have to go to the plant at 2 a.m. on Saturday night.
Smart sensor detects common failures in variable speed, batch or spared assets.
SAN JOSE, CA - Petasense, a leader in IIoT sensors and asset reliability and optimization, launched the first industrial wired sensor that combines vibration, temperature and speed detection into a single sensor.

The Iris CM from RDI Technologies is the latest innovation in video-based asset condition monitoring. This tool connects traditional vibration inputs and RDI’s patented video-based vibration measurements to ensure you never miss anything in your facility.
Located approximately thirty miles northeast of Atlanta Georgia, the Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources (DWR) is a publicly-owned utility that provides safe, clean water for nearly one million residents of Gwinnett County, as well as sustainable protection of local waterbodies. As part of Gwinnett County Water Resources department-wide reorganization in early 2014, a two-tier framework was envisioned to educate and empower staff to implement various condition-based monitoring technologies within Facility Operations.
Maintenance professionals tasked with maintaining electric motor reliability are often concerned with testing their critical motors at voltages well above nameplate levels. It can certainly feel counterintuitive to test a 460V motor to 2,000V or a 4,160V motor to 9,320V. After all, the motor is only rated for this lower voltage, right?
What does driving a submarine have to do with IIoT and condition monitoring? Plenty. This presentation reveals how the principles of condition monitoring have been successfully practiced by the US Navy for decades.
A recent acquisition of PRUFTECHNIK just made sense to Fluke and the industry. This integration allowed the transition of focus to connected reliability and Fluke Reliability Solutions.
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?
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
This presentation covers the journey of moving from an outsourced condition monitoring service to an in-house condition based maintenance (CBM) team at the Clark County Water Reclamation District (CCWRD). The Uptime Elements provided the framework, language and conditions for a bold, grassroots transition.
