Maintenance Systems Can Be
Grouped
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Advances in Intelligent and
Predictive Maintenance Systems, finds that predictive maintenance
systems can be grouped together by experienced professionals, but
numerous turnkey products are also available even though the cost
remains a significant adoption factor in the industry. The economic
benefit of predictive maintenance systems will become apparent only in
the end. It will help machine owners save costs on expensive maintenance
by giving the service personnel an early warning and preventing
unforeseen downtime of machinery. It eliminates the need for periodic
checks by alerting the concerned workforce whenever there is a
significant deviation from the normal course of functioning. "Economies
of scales as well as advances in sensing technologies can alleviate the
cost issue to some extent, making it more affordable to run predictive
maintenance systems," says Technical Insights Research Analyst Sivam
Sabesan. "The availability of microelectromechanical system (MEMS)
sensors, for instance, has improved many maintenance systems, thereby
boosting their popularity."

Managing the Generational Supply
Chain
"Companies are used to looking at their workforce in terms of its
talent, productivity, ingenuity and competitiveness. And they've gone to
great lengths to staff the workplace with people of diverse backgrounds,
and they think they're doing their best to plan for their organization's
future staffing needs," says Bob Kusta, an HR consultant. "But if they
truly want to be prepared, they need to look at their workforce in terms
of the generational supply chain. That means having a balance of
age-diverse workers and making a constant, consistent effort to hire and
train younger people, millennials, to replace the now rapidly retiring
baby boomers."

powerful liquid vacuum, capable of vacuuming 5 gallons of liquid in less
than 10 seconds. With the turn of a knob, the pump empties the drum,

Vac System uses a durable, stainless steel two-way pump that is suitable
for use with most non-flammable liquids. It is compressed air powered
and has no moving parts such as motors or impellers to clog, freeze up,
or wear out. An automatic safety shut-off valve prevents overfilling the

for safe, quiet operation. There is no shock hazard since electricity is
not required. Air consumption is only 19 SCFM at 80 PSIG. --- EXAIR
