SDC Trailers Enhances Operations with eMaint CMMS

By Steve Gahbauer  Precision air compressors and gas compressors depend on meticulous maintenance and proper lubrication to achieve peak performance. Lubrication serves three essential functions: reducing friction, sealing critical components, and dissipating heat. Compressor oils are constantly ex

As a facility manager, you know how important a preventive maintenance strategy is for your company, but when you can quantify that impact across the business, it’s easier to see just how critical it really is. So, what are the numbers? According to Forbes, unplanne

Many high‑impact maintenance tasks—such as cataloging inventory, configuring preventive maintenance (PM) schedules, and building spare‑parts inventories—can be executed with far less effort when the focus is directed at the most critical items. The Pareto principle provides a clear roadmap: by ident

The following case studies showcase real data analyzed by the author, illustrating how predictive maintenance tools—vibration analysis, infrared thermography, oil analysis, and motor current analysis—detect faults early and extend equipment life. Each example is presented as a frequency spectrum, an
