Maintenance and Asset Management of Industrial Assets: Emerging Trends in Tribological Practices

Professor Raghuvir Pai, President – Asset Management Society of India & Professor of Mechanical Engineering Manipal Academy of Higher Education

The tribological behaviour of rotating and sliding parts in industrial assets plays a decisive role in influencing the life of these parts. Understanding the tribological aspects and behaviour of machine components by maintenance professionals is important to improve performance and productivity. A knowledge of tribological principles helps in developing and applying these tools and techniques necessary for effective maintenance.

A significant impact on maintenance and asset management has been made in recent years by machine learning, data analytics, artificial intelligence, Remote Performance Monitoring and Internet of Things. In this study, the tribological aspects related to maintenance, reliability and asset management are analysed. The outcomes of this study are beneficial to engineers and managers in order to recognise and realize the relationship between tribology, maintenance and reliability for better asset management.

Reliability in Cold Rolling Mills – Hydraulic Group Control

Kevin Naidoo, Reliability Improvement Leader, Bluescope Steel

In this talk Kevin will discuss

• the importance of correctly setting pressure relief valves in hydraulic circuits,
• the failure modes associated with plant;
• and the costs associated with failures.

Kevin will use a real case from the Australian Steel Industry in the presentation. He is Maintenance Team Leader & Reliability Improvement Leader and has 25 years of heavy, medium, and light industry experience on fixed and rotating plant track record of cross collaborative teamwork between departments within organisation to ensure continuous improvement of plant and assets.
