Electric motors and variable frequency drives (VFDs) are critical assets in industrial facilities, driving pumps, fans, compressors, and other essential equipment. Yet, many plants still rely on time-based maintenance practices that fail to detect early warning signs of failure. This presentation introduces a condition-based monitoring (CBM) strategy designed to enhance motor reliability, reduce downtime, and improve energy <a href="http://efficiency.The" target="_blank" title="efficiency.The">efficiency.The session will explore how vibration analysis and power quality monitoring can be combined to identify common motor issues such as unbalance, misalignment, bearing wear, and harmonic distortion before they lead to unplanned outages. Attendees will learn practical steps to implement CBM programs, including sensor selection, data collection, fault pattern interpretation, and maintenance <a href="http://decision-making.The" target="_blank" title="decision-making.The">decision-making.The presentation will reference key industry standards, including IEEE 519, IEEE 841, and ISO 10816, and highlight emerging opportunities to leverage IoT edge technology for real-time insights. Whether you work in utilities, manufacturing, or engineering services, this talk provides actionable guidance to build a smarter, more reliable motor asset <a href="http://strategy.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="strategy.Speaker(s):">strategy.Speaker(s): Roman Agenda: 7:00PM - Introduction of IEEE Hamilton Section7:15PM - Presentation8:00PM - Q&A8:15PM - RefreshmentsRoom: Boardroom, Bldg: Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre, 2302 Bridge Rd,, Oakville,, Ontario, Canada, L6L 2G6
