CMMS-2005
Computerized Maintenance Management Summit
July 26-29, 2005
Indianapolis Indiana

You’re Invited!

Please join us for CMMS-2005, the Computerized Maintenance Management Summit from July 26, 2005 through July 29, 2005 in beautiful downtown Indianapolis Indiana.

With over 60% of all CMMS implementation falling far short of expectations, we have created a conference to address the strategies, tactics and technology for more productive maintenance work process automation through Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) Systems.

CMMS-2005, the Computerized Maintenance Management Summit is the only event dedicated to Computerized Maintenance Management and Enterprise Asset Management, Maintenance Inventory, Maintenance Planning & Scheduling and Maintenance Work Management.

You will take away new solutions for maintenance information management that you can put to immediate use as peers and industry experts share knowledge and experience in a non-commercial environment.

You should attend CMMS-2005 to:

• Reduce the cost of maintenance purchasing and inventory
• Learn successful software implementation techniques
• Develop an intelligent CMMS/EAM evaluation and selection process
• Improve your maintenance information management
• Learn how to create accurate Bill of Materials
• Learn how to use CMMS data to support other improvements
• Generate Failure codes in a CMMS/EAM System
• Increase the productivity of your existing CMMS/EAM
• Discover new Web Based software options for rapid CMMS/EAM implementation
• Develop Key Performance Indicators for Maintenance
• Manage a Computerized Maintenance Management System
• Much more…

It is widely accepted in industry that oil being transported from bulk storage to the machine where it will be used, represents the greatest risk for contamination.

However, where do you initially focus your attention in order to immediately and cost-effectively reduce this risk of contamination?

Consider starting with the basics. Assess the integrity and quality of the oil containers you are currently using to transport your oil from bulk storage to the machine where it will be used.

If the lubricant transfer containers you are currently using resemble a coffee cup, milk bottle or open top watering can, you may want to consider Oil Safe products as the means to get the foundation of your lubricant storage and handling program on track and organized.

The Oil Safe color-coded and interchangeable container system enables safe, contamination resistant storing, pouring, pumping and transporting of lubricants in and around the workplace.

Oil Safe is the world’s only fully integrated lubrication system that effectively;

• Prevents contamination of oils
• Speeds up lubrication jobs
• Dispenses easily to awkward points
• Color codes storage of oil grades
• Reduces spills and resulting accidents
• Expedites filling and refilling
• Minimizes waste
• Reduces machinery downtime
• Leads to an organized workplace

The Shock Pulse Method (SPM®) is a unique measuring technique for monitoring rolling element bearings It was developed and refined by SPM Instrument AB over many years (since the late 1960’s). In spite of attempts to imitate it, the Shock Pulse Method remains the most reliable and fastest technique available for measuring bearing operating and lubrication condition.

In this “must see” DVD, Lowry Eads takes an in depth look at the importance of recognizing electrical high energy situations and provides important information for performing safe inspections of Motor Control Centers, Switchgear, Substations, and other electrical gear. He discusses the use of Infrared in electrical inspections and also covers the subjects of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Arc Flash Assessments and NFPA 70E.

Predictive Maintenance Vibration Monitor Detects
Rolling Element Bearing Failures and Shaft Unbalance Conditions

ifm efector’s vibration monitor, efector Octavis, detects rolling element bearing failures and shaft unbalance conditions on critical plant equipment such as pumps, motors, compressors, fans and spindles. Octavis is permanently mounted on plant equipment to continuously monitor a machine’s operating condition through vibration analysis. Octavis has the processing capability to analyze a vibration signature and to predict failures in advance by sending an alarm output signal to a PLC or relay.

Configuration software is used to input application parameters such as bearing dimensions and shaft speed. These inputs allow Octavis to monitor only critical frequencies in the vibration spectrum and ignore all external noise. One efector Octavis monitor can detect up to five different rolling elements on a machine.

LORD’s Balancing Systems are designed to correct unbalance in rotating machinery while in operation. The system is comprised of five parts: the balancer, actuator coil, sensors, controller and software. Unlike traditional “off-line” balancing techniques, which require the rotating asset to be stopped while corrections are made, LORD’s Balancers correct for unbalance while the rotating equipment is running.

The balancer is installed permanently onto the rotating shaft; sensors continuously monitor the vibration levels while running. When an increase in vibration is detected above a pre-determined level, the controller initiates an advisory message as to the change in state of the unbalance. It then instructs the balancer to make an automatic balance correction. Balance adjustments can be made during start-up, normal operation and shutdown.

The Balancing Systems provide the ability to continuously monitor the state of balance of the rotating system. Rather than “covering up/masking,” a balance problem, the Balancing System continuously reports the state of the system’s unbalance, thus providing diagnostic information used to predict system health and optimize service outages.
