Description
This course is designed to teach the fundamental principles of the five predictive maintenance (PdM) technologies most prevalent in industry: vibration analysis, infrared thermography, airborne and structure-borne ultrasonic, oil analysis, and motor circuit analysis. Upon completion of the course, attendees will have an understanding of the capabilities of the technologies along with the common traps that may be encountered during application.
Recommended audience
This course is recommended for Managers, Engineers, Planners, and Supervisors who are responsible for metrics, tracking, and use of information generated by PdM programs.
