Manufacturing Analytics with Bryan Sapot

Data is the single important thing—whether it’s quality data, failure data or any other kind of data—that helps you make decisions in the best interest if your assets and the organization. You may have set data points but those don’t mean anything unless you know what you are looking for. When you take unstructured data, analyze it, and then turn it into meaningful information to improve manufacturing, it can be called manufacturing analytics. You can use it to make your reliability processes better or you can use it for performance measurement for your assets or personnel, it works great for both.

In this episode, we covered:

  • The value of data!
  • What to do with your data!
  • The uses your data has!
  • And much more!

155 Bearing Installation with Bernd Seidenthal

155 Bearing Installation with Bernd Seidenthal

Bearing Installation with Bernd Seidenthal

Predictive maintenance is a huge part of the overall reliability of your assets. Most of the times, equipment fails because of the bearing or seal failure. Bearing failures are very common in the facilities and improper installation of a bearing is one of the biggest reasons it fails. If you don’t do it right with proper tools, you are going to damage the bearing and it is only a matter of when rather than how. Before installing a bearing, you need to have a clean space and all the necessary tools should be with you when you are installing it.

In this episode, we covered:

  • Steps for bearing installation!
  • The value of proper bearing installation!
  • The tools you need!!
  • And much more!

Today, more than ever, thermal management is vital to ensuring a proper reflow or soldering process. There is a direct link between proper reflow profiles and reliability, which makes this topic relevant for any conversation about reliability.

154-Asset Condition Monitoring with Jack Nicholas

154-Asset Condition Monitoring with Jack Nicholas

Asset Condition Monitoring with Jack Nicholas

Asset condition monitoring can be defined the process to determine the health status of the equipment using high-tech tools, predict future status based on the deficiencies found, and return health to normal before complete loss of function. That way you can plan the maintenance of the equipment at your own best time rather than having the equipment fail at a bad time. There are a lot of tools out there that can help you with predictive maintenance or asset condition monitoring. Using sensors is one of the best examples of advanced tools being used to achieve maintenance and reliability goals for the equipment.

In this episode, we covered:

  • Why the basics are the first steps!
  • What tools you should be using for each step!
  • Measures to take to sustain improvement!
  • And much more!
