PLANT SERVICES MISSION STATEMENT

To deliver leading-edge content

showcasing smart technology

and reliable asset management in

order to promote a culture of safe,

sustainable plant operations.

Factory automation and new technologies associated with digital manufacturing have rapidly changed the face of American manufacturing. And with these changes so has the traditional role of our audience. Today, maintenance and reliability professionals are highly trained and educated and looked upon as an essential part of the overall operations team. Management teams recognize the enormous investments made in technology and how that technology can be used to ensure a sustainable production process. With the high cost of ‘downtime’, maintenance people are no longer present to simply ‘fix things’. These reliability professionals are responsible for managing a process in which they analyze machine data and implement procedures to address potential problems without affecting overall factory output.
