Advantages of the Infravision-Application for Your Business
In many cases, electrical safety does not yet receive the attention it deserves. Most factories work with some kind of control, but this does not provide the desired data to ensure a high level inspection. In addition, working methods and the associated output can vary quite a bit per location. Especially if a company has several branches, spread over more than one country.

In 1951, the US Army began publishing PS Magazine. The idea was to publish a magazine about Preventive Maintenance that soldiers would actually want to read. They found an artist named Will Eisner and his company began creating artwork for the magazine. Eisner believed that comics had teaching potential and convinced many talented artists to help him. Each month contained a single-frame comic and an accompanying limerick called "Joe's Dope Sheet". Every month followed the story of Joe, a soldier who ignores preventive maintenance and learns of its importance in the end.

Belling the Cat and RCFA
I'm a big fan of Aesop's fables. I use them with my kids to remind them to always tell the truth (The Boy Who Cried Wolf) and to appreciate the things that they have (The Dog and the Shadow). I thought it might be interesting to use some of the thousands of fables that Aesop wrote to discuss maintenance and reliability principles. This is my first post in hopefully a long series.

Avoiding Machine Failure with Oil Condition Monitoring
Lubricants, fuels and other key fluids analyses provide critical early warning information indicative of machine failure. By analyzing and trending data, one can schedule maintenance before a critical failure occurs. The results are higher equipment availability and productivity, lower maintenance costs, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), fewer outages, optimal equipment performance and a greener operation.

Why Did Your CMMS Implementation Fail?
You spent all your time and money looking for a CMMS/ EAM system only to find that your implementation process was a failure. One may argue that they took all the necessary steps required to set up and initiate their software, but implementation goes beyond that..
