Thank you Cody Jackson, Founder of Effective PdM, for joining CMMSradio to discuss your IMPLEMENTATION Training programs teaching maintenance teams HOW TO EXECUTE predictive maintenance programs at their own facilities. Cody is presenting at the Reliable Plant conference (From Training to Triumph: Empowering Maintenance Teams through Infrared Inspections) on August 3. The conference takes place July 31 - August 3 in Orlando Florida. When did your journey into the world of maintenance start and how did that lead to the founding Effective PdM? You understand the way predictive maintenance actually gets done - What is it that holds in-house maintenance teams back from optimal performance? Can you give us a brief synopsis of what people can expect from your session at Reliable Plant on August 3rd? I would imagine you've dealt with CMMS platforms over the years - Where do you see the challenges when it comes to predictive maintenance vs preventive maintenance? You've trained a lot of maintenance teams - Do you ever hear about CMMS being a disruption or benefit to how teams really work? How can maintenance teams better utilize their CMMS platforms for predictive maintenance best practices? Where should folks start if they want to move toward a PdM process? BTW everyone - The TMCC Slack channel is back and you can connect with people like Cody Jackson and several maintenance and reliability experts. It's free to sign up. Just go to upkeep.org/CMMSradio to register and join the conversation.

This episode features Joe Serwinski, Founder and Presdent of FSI, discussing the journey to building a purpose-built CMMS for healthcare maintenance management. Hospitals, and healthcare facilities of any kind, need the right software that follows their process. Joe built it and tells us about the journey. A 35 year journey during which Joe launched Facility Survey, in 2002, to help hospitals collect and load the right data into their CMMS platforms. FSI was launched later based on a specific CMMS build out for a hospital system with 17 locations. Other hospitals wanted to use the same platform, so they entered the market with one of the first SaaS based healthcare specific CMMS platforms. Turns out it is CMS, rather than just CMMS, which stands for Cutom Maintenance Software with a mind towards including the right flexibility needed to help varying types, and sizes, of hospitals and healthcare facilities keep moving foward instead of trying to adapt some other CMMS to their working style. This episode covers: The journey to creating FSI and Joe's background Worrisome trends in CMMS and maintenance Trends that are net positive (good) for the industry The importance of standardization (ASHE, etc.) Data for the next generation The role of AI Integrations now and in the future - WHy they matter Tune in to listen and let us know how you liked this episode.

This episode feature Travis Richardson discussing Noria's LubePM - A lubrication management system - and the intricacies of designing lubrication, and oil analyses, protocols in your plant environments. LubePM goes beyond the limits of CMMS platforms when it comes to next-level maintenance and reliability best practices and it allows for API utilization should you wish to get data from LubePM into your CMMS platform. What is the main problem LubePM solves? What factors go into assessing a plant environment and how does that contribute to the creation of lubrication routes? How does this data, from LubePM, translate into the KPIs management needs to see while also being easy for technicians to handle their workload the way they like to work? We discuss ReliablePlant - The ReliablePlant Conference takes place in Orlando, Florida July 31 - August 3, 2023.

In this episode we explore another great journey story with LimbleCMMS Founder and CEO Bryan Christiansen.
