Predictive maintenance is an essential priority for the healthy and profitable operation of any manufacturing facility. Beyond contributing to a maintenance culture, which is beneficial to any facility that relies on manufacturing equipment, it is accompanied by a suite of practical advantages. Among the most effective predictive maintenance tools is vibration analysis technology for machine condition monitoring. However, not all vibration monitoring technology is the same. For yo...

The failure or malfunction of critical machinery in a production facility can result in a cumulative chain of consequences that could prove devastating for a business. For instance, a malfunctioning production asset can lead to additional damage to other components and products. A company then faces the expense of repairing or replacing the initial malfunctioning component, any subsequently damaged components, and the loss of stock. Often the mo...

Quality control is crucial for the success of any company that relies on its manufacturing facility. In addition to ensuring the highest-quality product possible, quality control can lower expenses by improving the manufacturing process’s efficiency, improving safety, and reducing the need for recalls. Some measures for optimizing quality control in your manufacturing facility may seem intuitive, like focusing on training and cross-training. Others ma...

Reducing waste in manufacturing is an essential component of a leaner, more efficient process. The reduction of waste in manufacturing can result in an increased level of production, time saved, and greater profit. This can mean physical waste, waste of time, as well as resources. An effective, comprehensive waste-reduction strategy should incorporate dealing with both the uneconomical use of physical material and of inefficiencies in the process itself. Th...

Taking steps to focus on and improve the contentment of the employees at a manufacturing facility should always be a top priority. Enhancing workplace contentment can potentially improve productivity, save money, and increase profit. Strategies for doing so should involve employee engagement efforts, including training and communication. It's also vital to maintain and upgrade the equipment that production employees use. For instance, accurate, non-contact ...

There are a number of good reasons to implement lean manufacturing strategies. Leaner manufacturing can improve efficiency, reduce waste, and reduce overhead. It can even improve product quality. Implementing lean strategies requires two approaches—enhancing the operations and processes of mechanical manufacturing assets and working with personnel. From using vibration analysis equipment for efficient,...
