Welcome to the era of Industry 4.0, where the manufacturing world is getting a major upgrade. This isn’t just about making things faster or cheaper; it’s about transforming how factories operate from the ground up, using smart technology to make decisions, prevent problems, and keep everything running smoothly.

The focus of the previous installment was on cooling water microbiological fouling and control basics, as fouling can cause the most prompt and intense damage in cooling systems.  However, scaling and corrosion can be problematic as well.  Because scale and corrosion control programs often overlap, the next two installments will outline, respectively, primary scale-forming and corrosion mechanisms (scale formation in cooling water systems).  We will tie these together in Part 5 when examining the evolution of scale/corrosion control programs. Â

Computerized Maintenance Management Systems are known for their robust features that streamline and improve company operations. Despite this, maintenance teams rarely take advantage of all the functionality available in their CMMS. This article highlights some key CMMS features that maintenance teams should use to get more value from their investment, improve efficiencies, and save costs.Â

This article explains metal corrosion basics – the process including the basic chemistry of how metal loss occurs. Methods to control corrosion are also listed and explained. Metal corrosion is a chemical reaction between a metal surface and its environment. Corrosion can occur in a gaseous (dry) environment or a damp (wet) environment. It is the result of an electrical process in which electrons are exchanged between the corroding metal atoms and the acceptor element atoms. Corrosion control involves stopping or minimising the loss of electrons between the components involved in the process.
