A few weeks ago, I was asked to be a panellist and present at Zurich’s “Powered Up” Webinar. It was a discussion focused on the importance of taking more proactive steps to, as Zurich described it, “avoid the shock of an energy crisis.”
The other day I listened in on an interesting discussion during one of our training sessions with a maintenance technician, who was obviously frustrated with how much work he had to deal with. In his eyes, the introduction of yet another IoT technology that promised to bring with it a raft of efficiencies and cost savings was just another false economy.
Good Morning!
Happy November (Yeah... It's November already. WHAT?
!). Thanks so much for your feedback last month. The consensus was... drum roll please... that you preferred hearing from us monthly!
It's nice to hear our love isn't unrequited, so now we're moving back to our regularly scheduled programming. Enjoy!
Good morning (and Happy Halloween!). How have you been?
You may have noticed it’s been a while since you’ve seen a MOVUS newsletter. We missed you, and (hopefully? 😢) you did too.
This quarter we shifted our focus from being efficient to being effective. So, we've decided to only share highly significant news with you, rather than the minor topics we have discussed historically.
One of the fundamental methods used by vibration analysts [VA] in traditional fault diagnostics are Fast Fourier Transforms, often abbreviated as FFTs. Through their analysis, FFTs can assist with preliminary fault identification and help to determine which maintenance activities are likely to resolve the issue.
My wife and I have been married for 25 years - a significant achievement we take pride in. Yes, there have been good and not-so-good times, but we made an oath to look after each other, in sickness and in health, and we’ve kept it. But we’re not the only ones.
Taking an oath has been institutionalised across many fields; my local doctor, for one, may have taken the Hippocratic Oath in the spirit of ‘first do no harm’. But what about maintenance and reliability staff, engineers, and asset managers? Do they swear by some secret oath? Perhaps there should be ‘zero harm’, an oath to put the health of their equipment first.
So often, we confuse efficient with effective.
In this article, we’re providing a sneak peek behind the scenes of the Customer Success team, sharing a recent discussion with one of our customers. Learn how our discussions have helped us identify the true value of our services and shape our roadmap.
To see if they could trust newly deployed FitMachines, a new customer responsible for monitoring air handling units [AHU] in a critical 24x7 environment decided to complete a simulated test.
