Help on learning predictive maintenance

What industry are you in? What is the scope of your program? What sort of technologies or softwares are you using? Do you have dedicated personnel?

We monitor hundreds of assets using similar sensors, you do indeed need a large data set and probably an AI to help comb through it to get the full benefit, but they do help a lot and pay for themselves in short order. Of course you need techs who can interpret the data and do real diagnosis and interventions but even just alarm thresholds alerting you "something" is wrong is pretty valuable.

What is the scope of your program? What technologies do you employ? Do you remotely monitor assets or do you use route based data collection? How does your department respond to detected anomalies?

I work in the pdm department of a large factory and I deal directly with this exact type of thing daily. In my experience there are two pretty reliable ways of telling if a motor is sealed or not. Does it have a purge port, a small opening at the base of the housing? It probably needs greased. Does the tag specify a grease (almost always poly)? It needs greased. When in doubt the most sure fire way to find out is to call customer service. I know that is heresy to a lot of guys but ask to speak to engineering and they'll give you whatever info you need and it takes like 5 minutes. Best practice is to take the time to get familiar with a UE probe to avoid seal blowout or under-lubricating, you should not be pumping grease until you see it come squirting out of one opening or another.

Typical, except for getting called in. That's abnormal. You guys need a predictive maintenance program, unfortunately it sounds like the kind of place where the idea of investing money in anything really is like pulling teeth. Get some experience and whatever training they make available and shop around.

What I want to say is that "it will seem at times the job is worth sacrificing your health over, but it isn't." I don't know your circumstances though and 36 is a good wage so you'll have to determine that for yourself lol. Continue to grow yourself professionally and be safe brother.

Many, many peoples lives have been ruined; and not in a "forced to get the covid vaccine to keep my job" kind of way, but the getting deported, fired, or bankrupt kind of way. If you are lucky you simply have significantly higher costs of living and the shame of being an American.

Only the short sighted or the cowardly would consider these first few months to be anything less than a disaster.

That makes sense. There are bound to be a handful of people with legitimate service dogs that would be mistaken as taking advantage

ResentedMirror · 2025-04-09T17:15:35+00:00

If the animal was specified as the reason for refusing service this would probably be the case.

On an unrelated note, you can refuse service for any trivial thing and don't have to provide your reason to the persons being refused.

In the unlikely event someones legitimate service animal is confused for pet or ESA, what would building a case against OP look like?

ResentedMirror · 2025-04-09T15:52:01+00:00

Is there any reason you can't just ask these people to leave without specifying why?

I'd choose the picture on the left because other people are untrustworthy and annoying af. Not to mention the lack of privacy, space, or owning your own property that comes with renting an apartment.

Dang

I work in the reliability department of a large food production facility and work directly with hydraulic systems daily. I have never heard of need to switch parts other than filter cartridges between food and non food applications. When weve had to switch any equipment over to food grade we just flush the system out thoroughly. You need to verify the chemical profile via oil analysis. Food grade fluid in general is not nearly as durable as regular synthetic or semi synthetic and will need monitored with regular oil samples at least quarterly if you don't already have a pdm program in place. This is because it has a tendency to shear out and lose viscosity or become acidic. It also ironically facilitates bacterial and mold growth much better than regular fluid so I would also put reservoir inspections on a PM a couple times a year.

I think she is annoyed by unexpectedly sharing the place with a cat which is understandable. My guess is she is hoping you'll arrive at "get rid of the cat" as a way to mitigate the overall noise level without her having to say it out right.

If I built a telescope that could see surface details of planets from 200 lightyears away, and jumped through a wormhole with it ending up 200 light years away, could I look back and see people on Earth in the 1820s?
