Accelerated Asset Interventions (AAI): Rethinking Inspection, Access, and Maintenance
In asset-intensive industries, inspection and maintenance are essential, but they’re often slow, disruptive, and reactive. The traditional approach to asset integrity has long relied on manual access, shutdowns, and invasive techniques. These methods aren’t just inefficient, they’re increasingly incompatible with the demands of modern operations. The Hidden Cost of Delay Corrosion, especially under insulation […]
Phase in Vibration Analysis: Theory, Applications, and Examples
This article is intended to help the reader develop an understanding of Phase in Vibration Analysis, the concept of phase as it applies to vibration and signal analysis. Simple examples are presented to demonstrate the basics of phase relationships; then machinery diagnostics and troubleshooting examples are presented. The idea of a complex spectrum is discussed, and various […]
Harnessing Digital Twins for Predictive Maintenance
Leading with Insight In industries where every minute of downtime translates directly to lost revenue, from energy and mining to manufacturing, the promise of Predictive Maintenance has long been transformative. But digital transformation is opening a new frontier: the Digital Twin. A living, virtual replica of a physical asset, a Digital Twin brings operational clarity, […]
What Is Licence Harvesting and Why It Matters for Cost-Savvy Organisations
Many organisations invest heavily in software, particularly specialist engineering tools or technical suites, but too often those licences remain under-utilised. Licence Harvesting changes that: it’s the process of reclaiming idle software licences and reallocating them to active users. This not only trims IT spend, it transforms licence management from static ownership into dynamic optimisation. […]
The Azima Difference: Precise Condition Monitoring With No Added Labor Costs
Predictive machinery tests and monitoring have evolved significantly, offering a variety of techniques, methodologies, and tools. While many of these tests provide valuable diagnostics for specific machine types, only two technologies have consistently proven their value across a broad range of industrial applications: vibration analysis and oil analysis. These two methods deliver high benefit-to-cost ratios, […]
Revolutionising Asset Reliability: Why ARaaS and Predictive Maintenance Is a Game Changer
How Asset Reliability as a Service (ARaaS), infused with predictive maintenance, powers performance, minimises downtime, and boosts operational ROI. In today’s asset-intensive industries, every minute of uptime matters. Whether you’re running a manufacturing plant, a transport network, or a utility grid, the ability to keep equipment performing reliably can mean the difference between hitting targets […]
Software Asset Management: Cost Control, Risk Reduction & Operational Clarity
Software Asset Management: Cost Control, Risk Reduction & Operational Clarity Across asset-intensive industries, software has evolved from a back-office function to a critical enabler of productivity, innovation, and resilience. But with this shift comes complexity, rising costs, opaque usage, licensing risk, and compliance pressure. Software Asset Management (SAM) offers a proven pathway to bring order, […]
