One of the main tools of operational reliability in the industry is the use of proactive and predictive maintenance, whose objectives are to detect and predict events in machinery and systems that may interfere with the production process and take actions to avoid them, for which they use different techniques and tools to develop their work. As plants and their assets are being digitized and moving towards Industry 4.0, new scenarios are emerging for technological advances in tribology and condition monitoring.
Lubricants and hydraulics are critical fluids for any type of machinery. Many diverse studies have demonstrated that fluid cleanliness is one of the most powerful strategies to eliminate root cause failures of critical assets such as power generation units, hydraulic systems, air compressors and gearboxes. On-line monitoring for critical fluids can be strategically deployed to provide early failure diagnosis, supporting accurate engineering decisions to improve reliability and cost savings.

The Secrets For Implementing A Clean lubricant Program
If you could find an investment that guaranteed a return 40 times greater than your initial investment, you probably wouldn't pass it up.
MAINTAIN? REPAIR? REPLACE?
When considering the life of any asset, the question arises: what types of interventions should be planned to keep it operating or to restore operation in the event of its failure?
Engineering Reports Should Be Like Bad Movies
I'm frequently asked to review engineering reports, and I'm continually baffled by how many engineers want to take their readers on a journey instead of getting to the point.
WHY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES AREN'T ENOUGH TO MITIGATE LUBRICANT CONTAMINATION
There are few problems more insidious or damaging to large industrial machinery than contaminated lubricant.
LUBRICATION CONTAMINATION PREVENTION
How many articles have you read, or seminars listened to, that tout the value of contamination control? If you are like me, they number in the hundreds—if not thousands. One thing about these articles and seminars that bothers me is the word “control”.
LUBRICANT CONTAMINATION PREVENTION AND MITIGATION: A Guide For Maintenance Professionals
Lubricants are essential for the smooth and efficient operation of many types of machinery, from engines and turbines to gears and bearings.
TASK-BASED TRAINING | INSPECTING A SINGLE-POINT LUBRICATOR
A single-point lubricator is a device engineered to attach to a single unit to regularly and automatically deliver a small amount of clean grease or lubricating oil to a specific area.
TOP LEADERSHIP FOCUSES FOR IMPROVED RELIABILITY AND COST REDUCTION
Here’s a scenario that may sound eerily familiar – you have a new reliability initiative.
4 KEY ELEMENTS FOR INTERPRETING AN OIL ANALYSIS REPORT
Years ago, a customer came into my office, visibly upset. He had just received his second oil analysis report for one of his Caterpillar gas engines.
ASTM ENHANCEMENTS TO MICROSCOPIC PARTICLE IDENTIFICATION AND DOCUMENTATION
In 1982, Daniel Anderson published his influential book, \"Wear Particle Atlas\", which describes, sizes, and classifies particles found in oil.
