Motion Amplification® and its rapid evolution for the reliability and maintenance professional
Motion Amplification is a rapidly evolving technology that is being utilized more and more within maintenance and reliability programs. With new technology comes rapid evolution, new capabilities, and new use cases. In this presentation, we will cover new advances in the technology and how it is being leveraged for full field vibration. Advances include the ability to visualize frequency and phase across the entire video in a single image, visualize and measure thermal growth, and new advanced techniques to measure shaft dynamics while undergoing rotation. Motion Amplification will also be discussed in the context of continuous monitoring and how a camera can be used for measuring vibration across multiple locations in an image with full trending and historization capabilities. Case studies will be presented on Motion Amplification highlighting new advancements and how it has been utilized to solve real problems along with strategies used to deploy Motion Amplification as a new tool in the reliability toolbox.
Motion Amplification is a proprietary video processing technique that detects subtle displacement and then converts that movement to a level visible with the naked eye, enabling visualization of the movement. Each pixel becomes the equivalent of a displacement sensor allowing for full field vibration. Seeing how the machine is moving allows the source of most issues to become clear, allowing for effective root cause analysis as well as communication of the issue.

Maximize the value of your MRO data
The world is driven by data. MRO data (also known as indirect material data or material master data) is no exception. Asset intensive organizations continuously strive to be more efficient while being cost effective. MRO data remains one of the most untapped sources of savings for procurement, maintenance, and inventory departments within the manufacturing environment. Organizations find it challenging to leverage the potential MRO data savings because, for the most part, their data quality is poor. In order to initiate savings from your MRO data it must be consistent, accurate, and free of unnecessary duplication.
Maximizing the value of your MRO data begins with the conversion of your legacy data to best in-class. The transformation of legacy data to quality data begins with a cleansing process. Data cleansing is performed to create an item master that is inclusive of defined categories, attribute enhancement, item level codification, and all the while absent of unnecessary duplication. Once your data is clean the journey doesn’t end. It is imperative that a quality data governance program be implemented to ensure you maintain the integrity of your MRO data

Unshrouding the mystery of rarely-used parts: How to avoid shutdown and cost overruns due to parts availability
Storerooms everywhere are lacking certain critical parts while other parts are overstocked – and getting the mix right in today’s environment of supply shortages is even more challenging than it used to be. The risk, of course, is that a rarely-used yet critical part may not be available to get equipment back online, or that getting it in quickly will incur significant costs. So how do you decide which parts to stock, at what cost, how far in advance? And whose responsibility is it? With good data around lead time, usage, and a few other points, you can optimize inventory for most parts. However, rarely-used parts often don’t have good data available, and many organizations are left guessing at how they should be stocked.

Why you must rank your assets for 'criticalness'
Typically within an organization, asset criticality is visualized on a ranked list known as an Asset Criticality Ranking. In this webinar, Fluke Reliability experts Frederic Baudart and Gregory Perry discuss "criticality" as one of the most misused terms in the maintenance reliability world. Organizations often use this word when they really should be talking about "criticalness" – which more aptly describes the impact to an organization's safety, reliability, availability, and bottom line. Understanding criticalness will help maintenance and reliability teams focus their efforts where they are most needed. This concept becomes increasingly important when a company finds itself counting heavily on aging equipment for manufacturing and production.

Are you letting your machines control you?
Reliability is designed—literally and figuratively. Literally speaking, the inherent reliability of our equipment is governed by its design. But as equipment custodians, what we do (or don't do) affects a machine's reliability more than we may think—and it goes way beyond maintenance. In this webinar, RCM expert Nancy Regan details the winning reliability philosophy that empowers equipment custodians to achieve their reliability goals. (And it may be simpler than you think!)

How organizations drive cultural change & Measure performance
Organizations provider transparency to personnel (from the front-lines to the boardroom) by measuring KPIs for asset and work management. However sifting through the measurements to find the data you need can be difficult.
Enterprise Performance Management is important as it should shift the focus from individual performance to enabling cross-functional teams throughout an organization to empower all employees in delivering the mission, vision, and values. If everyone understands, buys-in, and feels there is transparent communication around the goals, performance will happen intrinsically.
