Foundational Elements for Reliability Based Maintenance
Maintaining a reliable plant in the digital era means applying predictive and proactive maintenance programs to ensure possible failures are identified and mitigated before they occur.
Whether we are just beginning with a new focused strategy, attempting to more proactively use our existing equipment data sources, or have established Condition Monitoring for our critical equipment, many of us are eager to leverage the advancing digital technologies afforded to us in Industry 4.0. Often, in the excitement to implement the newest technologies, we forget the importance of ensuring a solid foundation is in place upon which to build the digital infrastructure.
The reliability based maintenance (RBM) process is a flow, where each element builds on those previous. It is essential that a strong and robust foundation is in place to ensure effective implementation and execution of condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. This webinar provides an overview of a strategic RBM approach scalable for every size environment.
What We Cover
- Foundational elements of RBM and how these elements are critical to your overall maintenance program
- How to optimize and scale your asset strategy
- How to ensure that your Condition Monitoring program is efficient and effective
