The New Era of Predictive Maintenance: Affordable and Accessible

Modern Predictive Maintenance (PdM) has come a long way in recent years, with ease of use and installation both having increased significantly, while cost has similarly decreased. Conventional PdM was an expensive and time consuming technology and, because of this, it was reserved for only the most critical facilities. The problem with this is that less costly equipment, though seemingly peripheral, can be just as essential to continuing operations, and it is instead relegated to a preventive maintenance (PM) schedule.

10 Ways to Reduce Reactive Maintenance

This article provides 10 distinct actions you can take to become more proactive. As you will see, the asset management system (AMS) plays a major role. Typically, users struggle to leverage the AMS in support of asset reliability, but the reason for this simply may be because you need a more encompassing set of instructions. So, here they are.

Industrial Predictive Analytics for Improving Asset Performance: Bridging IT and OT

Industrial Predictive Analytics for Improving Asset Performance: Bridging IT and OT

IMC-2015 RAP Talk - 19:35
by Greg Bentley, CEO- Bentley Systems

In today’s operations of industrial facilities and infrastructure assets, operations and maintenance professionals need effective strategies to benefit from an unprecedented volume of “big data”. It is streaming in from the “Internet of Things”, (sensors and meters on equipment, structures and assets), from UAVs able to perform continuous surveys and inspections, and from market sources. The challenge lies in transforming all that data into meaningful information and operational visibility, which can inform decision support and improve asset performance.

Super-Bright Fluorescent Dyes Pinpoint All Water Leaks

— Plant maintenance inspectors will appreciate all the benefits of Spectroline®  WATER-GLO® fluorescent leak detection dyes. These super-bright dyes reveal all leaks in static and circulating water systems, boilers, storage tanks and other high-volume containers. They also locate leaks in piping, valves, condensers, sprinkler system pumps, seams, welds and fittings

Selecting the Right Maintenance Method

Step 2 in IDCON's 3-step process for optimizing Preventive Maintenance is selecting the Maintenance Method. We break this Step into three components:

  • Function and component
  • Failure Modes

How does it fail? Roller Bearing Bolts

An important aspect of Preventive Maintenance is condition monitoring. You should be inspecting bearing hold down bolts and cap bolts (if applicable) for looseness and corrosion.

Why is ...• Loose mounting bolts will cause vibration and will gradually cause misalignment and bearing damage.

How Does it Work - Basic Function of Bolts

When a bolt is tightened, the bolt is stretched. As the bolt is stretched, the clamping force increases.

Different steel can be stretched to different lengths until they brake. How do steels
