Condition-based maintenance (CBM) presently plays an important role in avoiding unexpected failures, improving machine reliability, and providing accurate maintenance records and activities for rotating machinery. Traditional wired sensors commonly used for gathering data are costly and of limited value in industry. Recently, together with the advancement of sensor technology and communication ...

Complex pieces of machinery require regular systematic preventative maintenance to sustain their high-performance standards. The same is true with the complex human "machinery" that runs medical group practices. The behaviors, skills, and attitudes that are often referred to as the "soft 'touchy-feely' stuff" are not a luxury. Quite the contrary--they are essential to achieving and maintaining ...

I propose to consider the question, "Can machines think?" This should begin with definitions of the meaning of the terms "machine" and "think." The definitions might be framed so as to reflect so far as possible the normal use of the words, but this attitude is dangerous, If the meaning of the words "machine" and "think" are to be found by examining how they are commonly used it is difficult to...

In this paper, an artificial neural network simulator is employed to carry out diagnosis and prognosis on electric motor as rotating machinery based on predictive maintenance. Vibration data of the primary failed motor including unbalance, misalignment and bearing fault were collected for training the neural network. Neural network training was performed for a variety of inputs and the motor co...

Relevance. The efficiency of agricultural production largely depends on the technical condition machinery fleet. condition, in turn, many factors that determine level operation equipment. One most important determining reliability machinery, cost restoring and maintaining working is frequency maintenance. As a result studies conducted organizations region, it was revealed engineering services, ...

Cost reduction in production systems is one of the main concerns most manufacturing industries. Achieving this goal requires effective use resources. Nowadays, due to competitiveness and need reduce costs deliver goods on time, equipment availability prevention unexpected stops are particularly important industrial units. In recent years, equipment, machinery, human resources have been foundati...

One of the most important factors that influence people’s daily lives and their well-being at work is so-called “worker safety”. Different literature works demonstrated positive effects on worker mood brought by awareness being in a safe environment and, consequently, less prone to accidents. Every working should guarantee safety protection employees operators both normal operations extraordina...

In order to expose students in tertiary institution learning agricultural science the concept of farm mechanization, which could aid self-reliance after graduation, federal government Nigeria has provided machinery make teaching and effective this regard. The focus study therefore is assess deployment, management maintenance effect on mechanization for sustainable development college farms Nige...
