Reliability In-The Field Insights
Today we are excited to share a new resource for industry professionals: Reliability In-The-Field, a dedicated page packed with actionable insights and expert guidance on asset reliability. This growing collection of over 100 video posts, produced by Stuart Walker and the RMS team, is now available to help engineers, maintenance managers, and asset reliability professionals optimise asset performance, troubleshoot issues, and stay ahead of the curve with industry trends.
Why “Reliability In-The-Field”?
Our goal in creating the collection of Reliability Insights is to help educate industry professionals, enhance asset management practices, and showcase RMS’s dedication to delivering actionable insights. Reliability is at the core of effective asset management, and through these real-world case examples, we provide an easy-to-access knowledge base to support professionals in tackling the complex challenges within their field.
What to Expect on the Page
The Reliability In-The-Field page is structured for easy navigation, helping visitors quickly locate insights most relevant to their interests. Videos are organised across three major categories, each offering a different facet of reliability expertise:
- Asset Type: Assets vary in function and present specific maintenance challenges. This category offers targeted insights into a range of asset types, from rotating equipment and pumps to HVAC systems. Whether managing machinery critical to manufacturing or environmental systems, users will find content addressing the unique reliability needs of each type. Visitors can learn more about monitoring, assessing, and maintaining each asset effectively, understanding nuances that impact performance and longevity.
- Asset Condition: Focusing on diagnosing asset conditions, this category covers topics like resonance, imbalance, and misalignment. Condition-specific videos provide insights into identifying and addressing issues early. Diagnostics and case studies highlight warning signs and optimal technologies for each condition. For example, vibration analysis detects resonance issues and wireless sensors support predictive maintenance on critical assets to prevent costly downtime.
- Industry: Each industry faces unique reliability challenges based on environment, operations, and specific machinery. Videos here provide insights that help professionals address sector-specific reliability demands. In manufacturing, energy, water management, or pharmaceuticals, visitors will find content relevant to their conditions and assets, ensuring solutions are both compliant and efficient within their industry’s regulatory and operational contexts.
Insights from Stuart Walker & the RMS Team
Stuart Walker has been a consistent source of reliability insights across social channels, especially on YouTube and LinkedIn, over the past ten years. His expertise has helped thousands of professionals access the knowledge needed to understand and address complex asset issues. As Stuart continues to build the ‘Reliability In-The-Field’ offering, RMS will also bring in contributions from other team members, ensuring a continually growing pool of expert content.
Featured Examples: Real-World Applications
Reliability In-The-Field includes a wide range of posts, from introductory topics to deep-dive technical analysis. Here are some examples of the content you can expect:
- Confirming HVAC Fan Balance Issues with Multiple Technologies: This post demonstrates how vibration analysis and other tools can pinpoint balance issues, enabling maintenance teams to proactively address faults before they lead to more significant disruptions.
- Identifying and Fixing Resonance Problems in Cooling Water Pumps: Resonance can be a tricky problem in rotating machinery, and this video explores methods for identifying and correcting these issues, ensuring pumps continue to operate efficiently and safely.
- Understanding Bearing Defect Frequencies with Motion Amplification: Motion Amplification technology helps visualize defects in bearings, allowing for a level of diagnostic precision that would be challenging to achieve with other methods.
These examples illustrate the diverse array of reliability issues and solutions covered on the page, allowing visitors to learn from real-world scenarios that mirror the challenges they face daily.
