I focus on helping companies set up comprehensive maintenance infrastructures that enable them to move towards reliability-centered maintenance based on data-driven predictions of critical component failures based on analytics via online monitoring and/or automated monitoring of vital equipment in all industries for power generation to continuous manufacturing processes.Ways I can help:- consulting services for corporate-level maintenance level strategies and process- utilization of diagnostic reasoners to help maintenance activities focus on critical equipment maintenance to optimize capital expenditures- monitoring and diagnostic support of critical equipment utilizing existing sensors and software or support with the implementation of additional sensors and/or software, increasing time between critical equipment outages, and optimizing capital and maintenance expenditures- provide early detection of potential failure modes to reduce the risks of catastrophic failures- provide the support of decisions based on data to help profitability, planning, and ultimate long-term capital expenditures- reduce personnel equipment interactions in dangerous and volatile environments - increase safety with shorter or less frequent inspections by plant personnel of high-voltage assets and rotating equipment- improve man-power efficiencies with optimization of plant workforce- help industries overcome the loss of technical personnel or the reduction of personnel due to leaner staffing requirements and overall workforce attrition- help prepare industrial plants for leaner staffing requirements based on available technical staff or unforeseen man-power reductions- help subject matter experts better align capital projects of equipment-based needs electronically, versus spending on-site equipment performance analysis via real-time data acquisition available anywhere
