Unbalanced spinning equipment. Vibration from out-of-balance rotating equipment can be frightening. The ground shakes, machines jump about, hold down bolts come loose and parts break. An unbalanced rotating body will produce forces on its bearings and transmit them throughout its structure and into the foundations.
For years, there were two primary software solutions for asset management: SAP Plant Maintenance (PM), an integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) module, and a dedicated Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).

Maintenance KPIs with a CMMS The wind energy sector is experiencing a significant shift, characterized by the increasing longevity and efficiency of Wind Turbines (WTs). While
Spherical roller bearings are popular across industries because they can take very heavy loads and are self-aligning. Their design allows them to take combined loads in both the radial and axial direction acting together.
The emergence of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) has given AI agents a standardized way to share context, understand intent, and collaborate across different tools and data environments. In essence, MCP is teaching machines how to talk — not just exchange data, but align on purpose.
At the high temperatures and pressures in boilers, well-operated and maintained chemical feed systems are critical for preventing corrosion. However, the task becomes more challenging if corrosion products from other areas of the system travel to and deposit on boiler tubes. The chemistry beneath deposits can be quite different than in the bulk boiler water, sometimes resulting in severe corrosion.
As the lights flicker and the machines hum, strange noises echo through the factory floor. Are they signs of restless spirits—or just neglected preventive maintenance? This Halloween, step into the wriggling insides of your equipment and uncover the mechanical mysteries behind every eerie creak, rattle, and groan. Sometimes, the scariest sounds aren’t from ghosts…but from failing components.
For facility managers, a consistent power supply is paramount, and Electrical Preventive Maintenance (EPM) is the cornerstone of its reliability.
