Free web events explain predictive maintenance
Professionals seeking to improve their maintenance programmes can learn more about intelligent predictive maintenance strategies through a series of free web events.
Reliability and maintenance professionals seeking to improve the consistency and cost-effectiveness of their maintenance programmes can now learn more about intelligent predictive maintenance (PdM) strategies through a series of free web events hosted by National Instruments.
Beginning on 26th January 2006 at 1900 GMT, and continuing every Thursday until the end of February, this series offers live demonstrations and discussions with leading industry experts on topics ranging from power and vibration monitoring techniques to ultrasonic sensing and automated thermography.
Intelligent maintenance involves consistently monitoring a system for potential or impending machinery problems that could later result in costly system shutdown or injury to other system components.
Discussions on strategies for building intelligent maintenance systems include: "An Introduction to intelligent maintenance systems", presented by Dr Jay Lee, Director of the Centre for Intelligent Maintenance Systems (26th January); "Sound advice in ultrasonic NDT test", presented by Olympus NDT and National Instruments (2nd Frebruary); "New Considerations for vibration monitoring", presented by IMI Sensors and National Instruments (9th February); "The benefits of power system acquisition, analysis and dissemination", presented by Dennis Erickson, IEEE Fellow and power system expert (16th February); and "Techniques for automating thermography", presented by Flir and National Instruments (23rd February).
Full descriptions of the sessions and event registration can be found on the NI website.
