Safety standards help protect assets and also foster a safe workplace. In potentially hazardous environments, equipment must follow particularly strict standards to reduce the risk of an explosion. Here we explain the difference between equipment labeled as…
Predictive maintenance harnesses the power of the Internet of Things (IoT) to give maintenance teams eyes and ears on their equipment and assets. Predictive maintenance technology can tell you exactly which assets need attention at any given…
It is normal for machines to vibrate, but a change in a machine’s vibration patterns can indicate potential problems. Measuring changes in vibration patterns helps teams identify imbalance, looseness, misalignment, or bearing wear in equipment — before…
Preventive and predictive maintenance are both maintenance strategies for minimizing downtime, maximizing performance, and keeping your equipment in optimal condition. When implemented correctly, they can improve productivity and lower the cost of necessary repairs on your assets….
Condition monitoring (CM) uses Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) sensors and other tools to continuously track machine health and measure vibration levels, temperature, or other measurements. When something changes in the machine, these tools trigger an immediate…
Predictive maintenance refers to the ability to predict (and ultimately prevent) machine failures. The most common predictive maintenance technologies include condition monitoring and machine learning. By giving maintenance teams visibility into potential problems, such predictive maintenance technologies…
