!Are maintenance workers really different than other shiftworkers?
Unlike production workers who can quickly learn a new job in another department, maintenance workers tend to stay in their specialized trade. They usually are paid more and spend more time working weekday day-shifts, which also may influence their reluctance to transfer to other departments.

 

!Coming soon to your inbox from Plant Engineering: Sustainable Manufacturing
Sustainability is the farthest-reaching trend to hit manufacturing in years, and this latest E-newsletter from Plant Engineering will help you sort out how it will affect your organization and how you can best use it as a strategy for good business and a better bottom line.

 

 

 

 

 

!Webcast: Experts lay out a case for ROI of maintenance
Maintenance has always been considered a cost center in manufacturing, but a compelling case can be made that a proper maintenance program can drive profits and a return on investment.

!Motor control center data offers maintenance insight
Motor control centers may be overlooked as potential information sources because they are typically located behind the closed door of an electrical room, along with the rest of the plant's electrical distribution equipment.

 

!Summit tackles sustainability, aging workforce, handling data
Returning to the site of last year's successful inaugural event, the 2008 PLANT ENGINEERING Manufacturing Summit opens with lead sponsor IBM March 31 and continues through April 1, at the Hotel Sofitel in Chicago.

 

!Varnish: The cholesterol in your plant equipment
As manufacturers demand more of their machines and components, wear and tear increases. Machines generate more heat, and additional heat is murder on lubricants. It’s the number one cause of lubricant deterioration and degradation and is the key factor in the development of varnish and its close associate, oxidation.

Electrical Safety Webcast: You've Completed an Arc Flash Study, Now What?
You've completed an arc flash study. Now what?

You realize the safety concern, business risk and cost of an arc flash incident. You've taken some steps to address it and you've discovered several potential areas in your facility where the hazards are great. But have you evaluated the solutions? Are you aware that you have many options to mitigate high risk areas? An arc flash safety program is more than just compliance to OSHA mandates. It should be a pro-active program that integrates a wide range of solutions into a comprehensive plan to minimize the personnel safety and business risks posed by Arc Flash incidents.

This webcast will provide the framework for a new way of looking at the problem from a broader perspective. We will feature arc flash mitigating techniques ranging from equipment labeling and personnel training, through solutions that reduce the available fault current, shorten fault clearing time, move people away from the arc, redirect the arc fault and even prevent the fault from occurring in the first place. We will also give you a look at the problem from a federal/regulatory viewpoint and we will offer some insights from people at the plant level who grapple with this issue every day.

Register today! If you're busy that day, register anyway and view the webcast on-demand.

Class Zero
Process manufacturers, their suppliers and federal agencies are always looking for the tightest safeguards to maintain the balance between safety and productivity. The use of food-grade lubricants is one solution, but eliminating oil from the process is an even higher goal.

The air compressor industry is meeting international testing requirements to eliminate any oil contamination in the process industries – not just food, but petrochemical, semiconductor and pharmaceutical manufacturing as well. Meeting the Class Zero designation from testing agency TUV is an important step in assuring non contamination in these critical manufacturing processes.
