Wireless Sensor – MEM’s Accelerometer Basics

Industrial maintenance and reliability professionals have a much wider set of tools to choose from to monitor machine health than they did 10 years ago, with AI software poised to change the toolkit even further. However, at some point, all of the motors, pumps, and steam traps still need to be checked and tested, the same as they have been for decades. This presentation will take a look at the technologies that have changed asset management the most over the last decade, along with some of the maintenance best practices that guide their application.

In capital-intensive industries, effective Asset Management is critical to profitability, ensuring that essential production assets are maintained at the lowest cost while maximizing availability and reliability. Asset Management encompasses three key elements: Work Management, Asset Strategies, and Defect Elimination. These elements, supported by strong leadership and collaboration between Production and Maintenance, form an interdependent framework to enhance reliability and mitigate costly failures. A lapse in any one area can jeopardize the overall success of the Asset Management strategy, leading to safety, quality, and environmental challenges alongside financial losses. This session will delve into assessing the current state of Asset Management, implementing and optimizing its core elements, and fostering a culture that prioritizes Reliability and Availability over superficial adherence to buzzwords. Participants will explore actionable strategies to reduce costs and improve operational outcomes for critical assets, setting a sustainable path forward for their organizations.
