Continuous Condition Monitoring for Existing Equipment on a Budget
Are you surprised by machine failures and frustrated with the seeming regularity of catastrophic downtime? When the repair drags out for hours or the fix feels more like a bandaid, do you wish there was a better way to repair this equipment? Bearing faults, unbalance, frictional rubbing, soft foot, fan noise, collisions, misalignment, displacement, or wearing of belts can cause high costs and long downtime. For maintenance, early fault detection and identification can optimize maintenance intervals and reduce manual inspections of hard to reach components. Production supervisors can gain great insights from real-time data from the processes and use prepared statistical evaluations to drive overall machine efficiency. In this presentation, we will discuss, with real world examples, how major downtime can be solved by implementing continuous condition monitoring to bring value to your existing equipment and offer tactics to help you to easily take control of your downtime right now.

Do You Know How Much Money You Are Losing Due To Equipment Breakdown?
We will review the money and opportunities your business is losing by not reducing your unscheduled equipment downtime. We will discuss the differences between PM and PdM prgrams as well as how each program is connected and is a building block for reducing unscheduled breakdown. We will discuss how a preventive (PM) and predictive maintenance (PdM) program will increase your OEE and customer satisfaction. We will discuss how to implement a successful equipment maintenance strategy. We provide insight on how PM and PdM programs will positively impact your ROI, OEE and potentially help attract new business.
