Downtime on the production floor of any manufacturing or industrial business is expensive and frustrating. Limiting downtime is a considerable financial priority for any business. New technology is revolutionizing asset management, making these goals more achievable than ever. A comprehensive downtime reduction strategy should involve a renewed emphasis on training, strong communication, and adopting innovative technology such as vibration analysis equipment . Communication and Training For any production process, there are two necessary components: the machinery and the people responsible for it. As downtime is bound to be caused by one of those two elements, it makes sense to consider both when attempting to prevent it. Robust training programs are certainly beneficial, especially when implementing new technology. The importance of communication also can’t be overstated, especially between technicians and management staff. That means improving communication betw...

For any organization in the industrial and manufacturing industries, monitoring and maintaining their physical assets can seem like a perpetual game of catch-up. Even with faithful adherence to inspection and maintenance schedules, averting the failure of critical equipment or machinery can be difficult. Critical issues don’t always make themselves known until the damage is done. Analysis tools can be so complex that it’s difficult to communicate maintenance needs to non-technical management staff.    The good news is that advancements in asset monitoring technology, namely vibration monitoring and analysis innovations, improve how hundreds of companies around the world handle asset management and maintenance. Innovative vibration monitoring tools can quickly diagnose issues before they manifest in breakdowns. The best vibration monitoring tools also make complex data reports accessible to non-technical employees for improved efficiency. Why Effective As...
