MD 137 Remaining Useful Life (RUL) Discussion with Falkonry

Can we accurately measure the remaining useful life of our equipment? The better question might be can we predict an event in the future that causes poor equipment operations leading to equipment failure, quality issues, and loss of efficiency.

On this week’s episode of Technology Innovation, a Maintenance Disrupted Podcast, Blair welcomes Nikunj Mehta and Dan Kearns from Falkonry. In this podcast we discuss the theory behind estimating RUL and some of the considerations and approaches to successful RUL estimation.

SOR 613 Focus on Problem Number 5

Focus on Problem Number 5

Abstract

Chris and Fred discuss ‘Problem #5.’ What is problem #5? Well … technically it isn’t a problem at all. Which is what we want to be doing as reliability engineers. Preventing problems from occurring. Most people look at reliability engineers as (perhaps at best) addressing field failures or failures in the hands of the customers. But reliability engineering is much more valuable than that. Reliability engineering prevents you from not meeting budget or not achieving scheduled milestones. In fact … field failures (which are what we call ‘Problem #1’) are incidental to good reliability engineering. Want to learn more?
