MD 165 Journey to Reliability: The Roadmap for Success with Dan Moss

Over the past decade, facility equipment reliability has been elevated from an often vague ideal to a mission-critical goal with benefits that outweigh both cost and complexity. As a result, well-run organizations now consider reliability to be an important element of their strategic and tactical plans and initiatives. This new reality impacts nearly every function, from procurement to maintenance, repair, and operations inventory management.

Over the same period, savvy plant management has also embraced the philosophy that maximum reliability requires more than well-functioning equipment. What other correlated activities must organizations also engage in?

In this week’s episode of Maintenance Disrupted, Blair Fraser welcomes Dan Moss, VP Operations at Performance Consulting Associates otherwise known as PCA to talk about the Journey to Reliability: The Roadmap for Success.

MD 159 Thinking Differently About How Business Asset Questions Are Answered

Welcome back to another episode of the Technology Innovations series of the Maintenance Disrupted Podcast where we look at the people and technology fueling Industry 4.0. In this episode, Blair Fraser sit down with Dane Boers of Modla to talk about the digitization of asset knowledge.

In this episode, we discuss the typical approach to answer questions like what should my budget be next year or what predictive monitoring technology should I utilize. It doesn’t take long to realize that most of the questions get answered from the foundation knowledge that exists in exercises like FMECA and RCM but more concerning is the amount of information in people’s head, SME knowledge. But how do you get it out? How do you have repeatability in your answers? Take a listen to this new approach to answering questions using asset modeling.

MD 155 Considerations on How to Effectively Bring Technology into an Organization with George Williams

In this episode, we are switching directions and instead of looking at the technology, we focus on people and processes to help bring these technologies in and most importantly, get the desired value from them.

In this week’s episode on the Technology Innovation series of Maintenance Disrupted, I talk with George Williams at ReliabiltyX to get his thoughts and recommendation as a reliability practitioner and now an advisor and consultant on what he has seen work and not work when companies bring in new technologies. From developing the initial business case mapped to the company objective to the behavior changes needed, George provides sound advice to anyone considering bring new technology to their maintenance and reliability initiatives.

MD 153 IoT Enabled Connected Breather with Roy Giorgio from Des-Case

Unlike any breather on the market, The Des-Case Connected Breather has eliminated the subjectivity of color-changing desiccant media, allowing you to know the exact moment your breather is fully spent and should be replaced. Sensors inside the breather provides a precise digital reading of remaining breather life, saturation direction and breather temperature so the breather is never replaced too early or left on an unprotected asset.

In this week’s episode on the Technology Innovation series of Maintenance Disrupted, Blair Fraser talks with Roy Giorgio from Des-Case about a very important but often overlooked aspect of rotating equipment life by ensuring your lubricants are protected from harmful moisture and particulates with breathers. But can these seemingly simple devices become smarter? Yes, with the addition of key moisture, temperature, and battery sensors you can maximize the life of the breather and gain insights into your equipment health that was previously, not available.

MD 151 Unlocking the value of Digital Transformation with a Unified Namespace

Scaling of Industrial IoT solutions requires a Unified Namespace, which acts as a centralized repository of data, information, and context where any application or device can consume or publish data needed for a specific action. A place where everything is a node within an ecosystem

Best described as “What one node knows, all nodes know”

If a Unified Namespace is so important, why do most of us not know what the heck it is and how to achieve it?

In this week’s episode, we talk about the concept of a Unified Namespace strategy early in our Digital Transformation journey to ensure the full potential of your investment and that it can scale. I am pleased to welcome David Shultz of G5 Consulting to discuss architecting a digital transformation solution.
