AI, Chaos and Caffeine Podcast, Data Science, ESA, MCSA, ML, Reliasquatch, Remaining Useful Life, Time to Failure EstimationAI in Reliability: Hype, Reality, and What to Ask Before You Buy Chaos and Caffeine Ep 61
AI says it’s 92% confident. But 92% of what? In Episode 61 of Chaos & Caffeine, we strip away the marketing language around artificial intelligence and machine learning in reliability and maintenance. We start with something many people may not realize: AI is broader than machine learning. Rule-based systems, expert systems, machine learning, and hybrid…

Stop Marching in Place Chaos and Caffeine Podcast 59
What if decades of advances in reliability and maintenance have made us ‘better at repeating some of the same mistakes faster?’ In Episode 59 of Chaos & Caffeine, we challenge the R&M playbook and ask some uncomfortable questions about reactive hero culture, condition-based reactive maintenance, technology bias, recycled programs, questionable KPIs, and why organizations keep…

You’re Doing it Wrong. Probably.
By Howard W. Penrose, Ph.D., CMRPMotor Diagnostics and Motor Health Newsletter Apparently, I have spent a good portion of the past several months telling people, “You’re doing it wrong.” Between the recent LinkedIn articles, reliability discussions, and Chaos and Caffeine podcasts, a pattern has emerged. We have more sensors, software, dashboards, artificial intelligence, machine learning,…

Chaos and Caffeine, Episode 55: From Industry 1.0 to Maintenance 5.0
In Episode 55 of Chaos and Caffeine, ReliaSquatch joins me to explore Industry 1.0 through 5.0 and the parallel evolution of maintenance from reactive repair to human-centered, data-supported reliability. We discuss why sensors, CMMS platforms, IoT, and AI do not create improvement by themselves, especially when organizations continue automating the same assumptions and waiting until…

Chaos and Caffeine Ep. 54: ESA/MCSA Bias Blind Spots and the Rest of the CBM Story
Episode 54 of Chaos and Caffeine takes on the long-standing bias surrounding electrical and current signature analysis in condition-based maintenance. ReliaSquatch and Silas Barnaby discuss why ESA and MCSA are still too often viewed primarily as broken rotor bar tools, despite their ability to identify electrical, mechanical and process-related conditions throughout an entire machine system.…

ELECTRIC MACHINE ROTOR BAR REAL OR FALSE POSITIVE A CASE STUDY
Vibration, electrical and current signature analysis, each are technologies that can provide a great deal of information on the condition of our electric machines. In this case study an 1800 RPM, 715 RPM, 4000 volt vertical electric motor originally was operated across-the-line as shown in Figure 1. In 2021, the motor was found to have…
