Ultrasound Remote Monitoring with Doug Waetjen Today we host Doug, the Vice President of Global operations, UE Systems. He has been with the organization since the 80s. He has spent a lot of time working with ultrasound technology. Key highlights from this episode are:  Overview of Ultrasound Remote Monitoring What technology is available to monitor remotely with ultrasound What should be done that is not being done   This is a technology that was used to listen to problems but when conditioning reliability evolved, this had to change to dig into the nuts and bolts of figuring out problems. The disadvantage of the old device using the point and shoot method is that it takes a lot of time to do something. As companies over the years have shifted to safety aspects, a lot of equipment is covered and shrouded and there are access issues.   What technology is available to monitor remotely with ultrasound There is still a place for handheld monitoring technology but there is also the option of going full blast. There is also a blended program. Most of the companies want to take the critical aspects and put that on a permanent monitoring system.   How do organizations choose First, there is a need to understand what assets are available and how they fail. Map out their failures and what is the best technology to apply to them. Then do asset criticality exercises, what is the impact on the organization and safety if the asset goes down. The data should be stored for future analysis. See if you can avoid such failures in the future by doing something differently. You do not want failure to happen within monthly checks.   What applications are best for remote monitoring for ultrasound  Motor bearings    Safety advantages The best thing is that nobody has to go near that asset. Just set the system up. It’s all about removing interaction between people and the asset. Eliminate human interaction with a looming hazard. This applies to both full time and handheld data collection. These sensors are mounted right on the actual housing. The outboard will do.   Where do organizations start looking They start with the route-based approach then depending on the data they are getting back; they choose a suitable technology. In short, do homework before you dive in. There are so many different options but people focus on only two. There is an in-between system and that is simply looking at mounting a sensor that sets off an alarm. Having that in a control room ensures its working all the time. It is also a low-cost option. Triage and figure out what you need to do next. The homework portion, criticality analysis ensures that you do not just monitor for the sake of it. Take it slow and look at the assets that you have and work out your bugs. Find out what action you have to take and how fast should you take it. After all this, slowly expand the program. Start slow and learn as you go.   What should be done that is not being done The biggest thing to change is committing to a tremendous amount of training. Trust what the information says to be able to make the call.  most organizations buy ultrasound equipment but do not have sufficient training on how to analyze and collect data. If you are currently using ultrasound, go and look at the after-failure actions that took place. Do not get on the reliability problem treadmill where you just find problems and solve, get to the root cause.  See what other people have done, don't reinvent the wheel. Ultrasound is not the only game in town. There are other technologies and communities online that will share their best practices.

205-Ultrasound Remote Monitoring with Doug Waetjen

On this week's episode, I welcome Doug Waetjen to the show.  Doug is the Vice President of Global Operations for UE Systems.  We discuss steam traps, how they fail and how you can use ultrasound to identify those failures. A few of you have asked me which conferences I'll be attending in 2020.  Right now, I have nothing on the books but I am looking for a few to attend.  That being said, I'm hoping to attend the SMRP conference, Ultrasound World conference and the MainTrain conference.  If there are any others, you'd like me to check out or if you'd like me to speak at your event, please let me know by sending me an email to robsreliabilityproject@gmail.com or send me a message on LinkedIn. If you haven't yet, check out my website robsreliability.com and sign up for the weekly reliability newsletter with bonus content.  If you like the show, please tell your colleagues about it and follow Rob's Reliability Project on LinkedIn and YouTube. Finally, if there are any topics, guests you'd like to hear from, questions you want answered, or if you'd like to appear on the podcast, email me at robsreliabilityproject@gmail.com Check out UpKeep - http://www.robsreliability.com/upkeep/ Follow Doug Waetjen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglas-waetjen-cmrp-497b997/ Follow Rob's Reliability Project on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/robsreliabilityproject/ Follow Rob's Reliability Project on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/robsreliabilityproject/ Music by XTaKeRuX, Song: White Crow is licensed under a Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution License.
