Ever asked yourself why you keep replacing the same bearings and seals? Often teams get stuck causing the symptom and fail to stop and find the root cause of the problem. 50% of rotating machine damage is directly related to imbalance, most teams just replace bearings and seals because alignment/balance takes too much time. It's important to fix the root cause of the issue instead of continually fixing the symptom.

Connected Reliability is a Framework that combines hardware and software systems from across the enterprise into one cloud-based maintenance ecosystem. Maintenance management is automatically integrated with data acquisition and analysis, giving industrial leaders unprecedented real-time visibility and empowering maintenance managers to make data-driven decisions that avoid downtime. Sensors can automatically measure condition and process-related data. Teams can use handheld smart tools to conduct routes. That information flows readily to the cloud, where algorithms and advanced analysis software predict machine failures and trigger automated work orders, so maintenance managers catch problems sooner. This combination empowers maintenance teams with real-time communication between machinery, data systems, and people. The automotive industry is full of complexity. Many companies manage multiple sites, production lines, and testing processes. The use of specialized parts requires optimizing inventory management and supply chain issues as well as managing vendor relationships. Worker safety is paramount, the quality of the end product is critical for consumer safety. Understandably, then, the automotive industry has more and stricter regulatory and compliance standards to meet than most other industries. The Framework of Connected Reliability can help industrial leaders in the Automotive industry to make enterprise-level maintenance decisions that prevent machine failures, reduce costs, improve worker safety, etc. Speakers: Christian Silbernagel - Strategic & Enterprise Account Manager, Fluke Reliability Christian holds a degree in Applied Physics from the University of Applied Sciences in Koblenz, Germany.

The road to excellence in reliability starts with sound business cases, determined executives, and a work force ready for change and continuous improvement. Most systems by nature are neither intuitive nor simple to understand. Here is where an experienced CMMS subject-matter expert working with the core team can be worth their weight in gold by ensuring you understand the decisions you are making. The adage, “you don't know what you don't know” comes to the fore here. In this talk Curt, with over 30 years experience working with EAM & CMMS solutions, will ensure you are aligned with your organization's Business Objectives and explain how a CMMS supports maintenance best practices while your maintenance best practices need to support your CMMS. If you find that your organization has not adopted maintenance Best Practices—this talk is for you as implementing a CMMS will not magically bring this about.

Today's maintenance departments can't afford crippling unplanned downtime and wasted energy. You could be losing thousands of dollars per year in replacement bearings and hours of unnecessary repair time. Up to 50% of damage to rotating machinery is directly related to misalignment—most customers ignore it and simply replace the bearings and seals. See the benefits of precision alignment on most of your machines not just a few of the most critical: - Improved uptime, revenue, and machine lifecycle - Decreased power consumption and costs for storing spare parts - Less vibration leading to less wear (other faults) - Lower temperatures on bearing, coupling, and lubrication Speakers: John Bernet, Product & Application Specialist, Fluke Reliability As a mechanical application and product specialist with Fluke Reliability, John Bernet works with customers from all industries to successfully implement their reliability programs.
