Seminar Programme

Breakthrough technology is enabling online condition monitoring of electrical contacts, cables, busbars and more. All without the need for batteries or cables for long-term passive monitoring improving data capture, safety and carbon footprint.

Electrical rotating machines occasionally experience operational failures. These failures may stem from inadequate maintenance or potentially from previous improper repairs. Minimising downtime is essential across various industries. Unplanned stoppages disrupt operations, making it crucial to resume normal functioning swiftly.

In addressing a failed motor, the dilemma often lies in choosing between repair and replacement. This decision is influenced by several factors and has been a common point of discussion.

This presentation will explore the underlying causes of these failures and evaluate the most suitable solutions. These solutions will be considered based on the user's needs, the specific equipment involved, and environmental implications.

Adrienne will offer vacuum pump maintenance insights on how to avoid both pump and production downtime. The presentation will provide an overview of different technologies, detailing the typical weak points and how to diagnose the common issues before they lead to a failure. Furthermore, it will also provide recommendations on when it makes sense to repair or replace the vacuum pump.

If you don't know what your asset is or how its components can fail then you need to consider carrying out a Criticality Assessment. The process outlined in this presentation can frame the complete Maintenance Strategy for a single asset or a whole production line.

Through our stepped process we identify where assets sit in the hierarchy, Critical Spares, Lubrication requirements, Condition Monitoring, Planned Instructions, skill gaps and more.

At the end of Andy's presentation you will have learnt that the asset manufacturer is not always best placed to evaluate the operation, care, maintenance, and overall lifecycle of our assets.
