Engineers spend a lot of time trying to avoid equipment failures, but learning from breakdowns when they do occur is critical to improving maintenance regimes.

The damage done by unexpected downtime is amplified when contending with just-in-time manufacturing and delivery schedules. Ensuring machines are always operating efficiently is a priority.

As economic conditions tighten, organisations are delaying the replacement of ageing assets. The challenge for maintenance engineers is keeping old machines running efficiently.

Heat, noise, and vibration. These are the hallmarks of productive engineering and manufacturing environments. They can also be part of an early-warning system that highlights impending problems.

The devil’s in the detail when it comes to keeping an operation running smoothly – and a closer look at something as simple as the oil used in machines can be hugely revealing.  

Tough economic times increase the pressure on maintenance engineers to maintain uptime and avoid outages. But a predictive approach, based on analysing data from condition monitoring, means you can ca...

The IIoT is a technology solution. It relies on sensors and smart devices to collect and collate data from equipment relating to its performance and operation. It simply wouldn’t exist without the tec...

More than a third of manufacturing businesses have made net zero a priority and already have a strategy in place. What role will maintenance engineering teams play in meeting climate commitments?
