Truth in Adoption: How Far in the Future Is IoT for ACM Applications?

Judging from the independent perspectives of three very different industry observers, the Internet of Things (IoT) for asset condition monitoring (ACM) applications is quite far into the future. Plant Services, a mainstream industrial trade publication, Gartner, Inc., a prominent global market research organization, and Russell Reynolds Associates, a leading global executive search firm, have each recently published surveys and opinion pieces that offer the perspective of industry insiders on the outlook for IoT ACM applications. The consensus is that the market may not be as ready or willing as its suppliers would have everyone believe.

Condition Monitoring & Bearing Lubrication Using Ultrasound

The RELIABILITY Conference – 48:04
by Adrian Messer, UE Systems and Richard Reeves, Schreiber Foods

Airborne & structure-borne ultrasound has become a must-have technology for maintenance & reliability. Advancements in instrumentation and software have allowed for an increased use for condition monitoring application. The technology is also seen as a perfect complement to vibration analysis on rotating equipment. In regards to bearing lubrication, ultrasound can be used to prevent over and under lubrication of bearings, which is, a move towards condition based lubrication rather than time based. This presentation will showcase the role that ultrasound has played in the reliability program within Schreiber Foods. Specific condition monitoring and lubrication examples will be used, as well as sound files of bearings in the process of being lubricated.

Choosing & Implementing a Successful Condition Monitoring Program

The RELIABILITY Conference (45:00)
by Patrick Parvin, SPM Instrument

This presentation speaks about choosing the correct techniques, methods, instrumentation and training for a successful Asset Condition Monitoring program. Too many times we see companies purchase either instrumentation that is “too limited” for their actual needs or actually more frequently “too complicated” for their actual needs. Once an investment has been made down the wrong path, it is difficult to get funding to change direction and head down the correct path. We will cover “front line” technology with explanation and description of basic Shock Pulse & Overall Vibration.
