The Evolution of CMMS Panel Discussion from The Reliable Plant Conference 2024 on CMMSradio

It’s finally ready – The CMMSradio Panel Discussion on The Evolution of CMMS we recorded at The Reliable Plant and Machinery Lubrication Conference & Exhibit in Chicago IL on June 3, 2024!

Thank you Noria for an EPIC event.  This was year two for us and we cannot wait for RP2025.  Same place (outstanding venue).

A big shout out to UpKeep for being a part of this.  In fact, your own Bryan Bieschke, CMRP (Head of Community & Partnerships at UpKeep) was on the panel.  We also had the rest of the heavy-hitters like Joe Anderson COO of ReliabilityX, Jeff Shiver of People & Processes, Inc, and Noria President Bennett Fitch helping us tie this all together with his insights on lubrication &  oil analysis (and beyond).  We heard great feedback about this panel throughout the remainder of the conference.  Thank you to those in attendance.

This episode (panel) is loaded with insights as we took a unique approach to The Evolution of CMMS.  We made it about the people, the process, the culture.  Technology evolution is excellent but we too must evolve and adapt to leverage these technologies in the most impactful and practical ways.

Get ready for a great discussion and there are some questions and answers (Q&A) at the end.  Do not drop off before the very end.  Thank you to our esteemed panelists.  You knocked it out of the park!!  We are honored to have hosted/moderated this panel.

Thank you Matthew Knuth of SPM Instrument (UpKeep Ambassador) and Rich Wurzbach of Grease Thief (UpKeep Ambassador) for supporting and getting into the discussion.  We’ve got some content dropping soon from your booths at RP2024.
