A series of interviews with industry leaders about where we’ve been, and where we’re going...

It’s not news that technology is transforming the practice of Condition Monitoring. The introduction of new technologies such as MEMS semiconductor sensors, advanced data analysis, IIoT and cloud infrastructure enables new capabilities as well as complexity to the asset reliability landscape. The proliferation of new names with accompanying messages can leave the potential adopter confused and uncertain as to how to evaluate and adopt the new capabilities.
This series of interviews with well known industry participants will attempt to clear away some of the ‘fear, uncertainty and doubt’ surrounding deployment of IoT technologies for Condition Monitoring. The participants, representatives of market leading IoT solutions for Condition Monitoring, will be asked to extrapolate their experience into the near future by reviewing promising technology trends. The hope is that this discussion will reduce some prevailing headwinds discouraging the testing and adoption of IIoT technologies that is believed will enhance the productivity of the maintenance professional.
