Eruditio Workshop: Preventive Maintenance Optimization (PMO) Made Simple

This workshop will be held on May 12.

Is fixing your neglected and outdated PM program a drag? Do you dread coming to work and knowing that you may not be getting value out of the PMs that must be completed for PM compliance?

Performing PMO will help you get maximum value from your front-line activities!

Many industry professionals have found difficulties in performing effective Preventive Maintenance Optimization because of a lack of understanding of:

  • The purpose of PMO
  • The simple mechanics of Optimization
  • A reluctance to eliminate valueless activities due to perceived value.

In this workshop, you will not only learn the WHY behind PMO, but you will also learn the HOW and will go home with the PMs you bring to the workshop Optimized and ready to use!

Audience level: Intermediate

FLIR Workshop: Thermal Camera Operator Qualifications

This workshop will be held on Monday, May 12.

This one-day workshop will focus on enabling the thermal camera operator to have a clear understanding of the functions of not only the camera, but the theory and practice behind the use of the camera for thermal inspections. The session will cover an introduction to thermography, camera operations, as well as both thermal and infrared science. When leaving this session, you will have a deeper understanding of not only the theory behind infrared, but how to better utilize your camera to ensure you’re capturing the best possible images when performing inspections. Note: please bring your thermal camera to this session to use in practical/breakout sessions where we will apply the theory to practice!

 

RDI Technologies Advanced Features (Two Days)

This workshop will be held May 12-13.

RDI Technologies is constantly adding features and functionality to both its hardware and software. To help our customers keep up with the changes and additions, we have developed a new training course called Advanced Features. This 2-day course will cover some of our newest features including:

  • RDI External Sync
  • RDI Stereo Vision
  • Iris M Route-Based Applications
  • RDI Modal Amplified

Advanced Features Certification:

There will be a certification exam at the conclusion of the last day of training. Students who pass this multiple-choice exam will earn an “AF” designation after their current level of certification.

Advanced Motion Amplification® Training Requirements:

  • Students must have already taken the Basic Motion Amplification Certification Course and passed the Level I Motion Amplification® Certification.
  • Students should bring their own Acquisition Unit to the class. Accessories such as lights and tripods will not be needed.
  • There will be a fair amount of vibration analysis discussed in this class. It is recommended that students be at least CAT II certified in vibration analysis in order to get the most out of this training.

RDI Workshop: Motion Amplification®: Our Latest Reliability Solutions

This workshop will be held May 13, 1-5 pm.

Motion Amplification is a rapidly evolving technology that is being utilized increasingly within the condition monitoring and maintenance industry. With this rapid evolution come new capabilities and use cases. In this workshop, Chris Wills, Director of Training at RDI Technologies, will cover case studies and examples from practitioners demonstrating how and when to utilize the technology for maximum effectiveness and produce the best results. Technological advances, like Modal Amplified™ bringing MA to modal analysis & testing, Iris M + Stereo vision allows the user to see triaxial vibration measurements, and Iris Explorer-the payload for Spot, will be demoed and discussed in detail.

 

UE Systems Workshop: Reliability Leadership for Multi-Facility Operations – Strategies for Success

This workshop will be held May 12-13.

What to Expect:

Implementing a successful maintenance and reliability program across multiple facilities presents unique challenges, particularly for mid-level managers responsible for driving change in large organizations. This course equips participants with practical strategies to develop and sustain high-performance ultrasound and condition monitoring initiatives across multiple sites. Led by Milan Heninger MBA, CMRP, an engineer and executive with extensive experience in Maintenance and Reliability, Change Management, and Organizational Behavior, this course combines technical insight with organizational strategy to deliver a comprehensive, actionable approach to skillfully managing ultrasound programs as well as your broader M&Rframework.

The curriculum is structured into three core modules:

  1. The Human Element of Change – Managers will learn proven methodologies for driving adoption of new practices, with an emphasis on how to use change management models. This module explores how to overcome team member resistance and foster a reliability-oriented culture, ensuring that people are as much a part of the solution as the technologies deployed.
  2. Demonstrating Financial Benefits of Ultrasound & Condition Monitoring – Participants will gain the tools to document and quantify the financial impact of reliability initiatives. By calculating avoided costs and other financial benefits, managers can demonstrate the value of reliability programs and build stronger business cases for future investments. A case study with valuations of ultrasound detections will help participants understand strategies to make compelling business cases for their own initiatives.
  3. Deploying Condition Monitoring Technology – The final module provides a deep dive into implementing ultrasound and other condition-monitoring technologies. Managers will learn best practices for technology selection, deployment, common pitfalls to avoid, and strategies for ensuring these tools integrate seamlessly into facility operations.
