[webinar] Embracing Digital Transformation in Maintenance & Plant Operations | March 13 at 10AM EST – Register Now
The question I posed is: Are the harmonics real? In other words, although the mass is still only bouncing up and down 30 times per second, is there actually real vibration occurring at 60, 90 and 120 Hz, etc.? OR are these just artifacts of the FFT?
A plant shutdown and turnaround is defined as a major plant maintenance shutdown, typically involving the entire plant or multiple areas and lasts for several days (or if not properly planned and scheduled can last longer than expected). Some organizations have both Major (more than 24 hours) and minor (24 hours or less). In many cases, minor shutdowns can have a bigger impact on lost production.
Maintenance expenses often account for a significant portion of an organization’s operating expenses, ranging between 20% and 60%, depending on the specific industry. Despite this substantial financial outlay, strategic optimization of maintenance activities has been a secondary concern for many companies over the past few years. This oversight represents a missed opportunity to improve financial performance and operational efficiency.
In this article, we’ll dissect the architecture of a modern maintenance app, exploring how each component collaborates to transform physical asset management into a data-driven discipline. We’ll examine what distinguishes contemporary maintenance platforms from their legacy counterparts and demonstrate these principles through practical examples relevant to daily maintenance operations.
Enter dynamic AI-powered mapping technology: an AI-powered application that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, real-time monitoring, and artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize maintenance practices.
What is the TRM High Security Cloud and how does it support the numerous cybersecurity standards that are either available or required depending upon the industry you are in?
Are harmonics real or just an artifact or result of processing the waveform through the FFT? This is a question that comes up a lot among vibration analysts, or anyone working with signals and signal processing.
Ensuring proper fit, tolerance, and equipment clearance is essential to the reliable operation and longevity of mechanical equipment.

Maintenance checklists have evolved from simple paper flyers to integrated computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) components. They are initially used as a fundamental tool to organize and standardize maintenance tasks. They ensure accuracy and promote safety, and their digital transformation within a CMMS offers many additional benefits.
