Show Me The Reliability:
Keynote speaker, Richard Smith will be discussing how optimizing reliability can show your company's considerable savings and prove your worth as a valuable resource. Included in his discussion are real life examples of companies who have "shown the reliability" and have seen the savings.

The Standards of Electrical Safety and the Need for Safer Work Environments:
Martin Robinson will review the standards of electrical safety in the workplace and the need for companies to create much safer work environments and safe work practices. Overall, the presentation will explore the standards and their implications on thermographers, ultrasound inspectors and other electrical preventative maintenance programs.

Generating Savings from an Ultrasound/Infrared Inspection Program:
Lloyd Hopper and Dean Wolever will be discussing the benefits and experience they have had with their predictive maintenance program utilizing ultrasound technology to calculate cost savings – including a recent $250,000 savings in leaks alone. They will review three locations they are currently surveying and how ultrasound instrumentation in addition to an infrared camera have helped to quickly detect several potential areas of failure.

Building The Ultimate Reliable Plant
Terry Harris and Bruce Baughman will talk about how designing and building reliability into new plants or modifications to existing operations is the wave of the future.
