Presented by: Thomas Wilk, Editor in Chief, Plant Services
Presented by: Thomas Wilk, Editor in Chief, Plant Services
|
Industrial maintenance and reliability professionals have a much wider set of tools to choose from to monitor machine health than they did 10 years ago, with AI software poised to change the toolkit even further. However, at some point, all of the motors, pumps, and steam traps still need to be checked and tested, the same as they have been for decades. This keynote will take a look at the technologies that have changed asset management the most over the last decade, along with some of the maintenance best practices that guide their application.
About Thomas: Thomas Wilk is the award-winning chief editor of Plant Services, an Endeavor Business Media publication that focuses on smart solutions for reliable operations. Tom joined Plant Services in 2014, and is a frequent presenter at leading maintenance & reliability events.

Doc Palmer shares many little nuggets of wisdom mostly in sound bites that affect what we do in work management. “Sound bites” are often little silly statements, but they are sticky in our minds. They are rememberable remarks. They help us expertly apply best practices in maintenance and reliability. Enjoy this collection of great tips collected from throughout Palmer’s own career as well as the world renown Dr. W. Edwards Deming, Dr. Peter F, Drucker, and others. You will see they really put the finger on what we do.
About Doc: Doc Palmer has over three decades of industrial experience primarily as a practitioner within the maintenance department of the Jacksonville Electric Authority, a major United States electric utility. From 1990 through 1994, Palmer was responsible for overhauling the existing maintenance planning organization. The resulting success played a role in expanding planning to all crafts and stations owned and operated by the utility. Publisher McGraw-Hill subsequently sought out Palmer to author the Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Handbook published in 1999 and now in its fourth edition (2019). Palmer also directed the purchase and implementation of a CMMS and administered the preventive maintenance program. Additionally, he has delivered numerous well-received maintenance articles and presentations for industry. Currently Palmer provides guidance, mentoring, and training for companies internationally for maintenance planning success. Doc Palmer is a registered professional engineer with a master’s degree in business administration. He is also a CMRP, Certified Maintenance and Reliability Professional. |
