ABSTRACT
Maintenance uses tools. Many of the new tools are changing from steel to silicon. These high-tech tools are advancing rapidly. By nature, maintenance folks adopt changes slowly (if it works, don’t mess with it). Consumer products are worlds ahead of those we use. High-Tech is catching up with our field. Make it your friend—BAE (Become an Expert).
IIoT Using the Internet to collect machine data. Using big data, analytics, and artificial intelligence
Condition-based maintenance: This section discusses various equipment inspection modes (vibration, infrared, ultrasonic, etc.) and provides guidelines for their appropriate use.
It seems society is going somewhere at an incredible pace. Today consumer products and applications are blazing a path with high tech products like Seri and Alexa. They use big data, AI, cloud, and just about everything else. Ads are popping up about the cloud, AI (artificial intelligence like IBM’s Watson), big data, and machine learning.
