Minding the gap: why monitoring your process is the counterintuitive next step in advancing your maintenance and reliability.

About this presentation

If only one out of five machine breakdowns are wear-out based, what is causing the other four?

Just as your machines are governed by the laws of physics, they are subject to the plant’s process.

Join Peter McToal, Digital Solutions Architect for ABB Energy Industries, to hear about how to approach condition-based maintenance from a more holistic level. Peter will discuss a few anecdotes as well as a framework for plants looking to take the next step in their maintenance journey.
