Summary
CMMSradio hosts Joe Caetano and Stephan Schomberg of Elevotec ahead of the 2026 SMRP Conference in Raleigh (Elevotec platinum sponsor, booth 1202; use code CMMSRADIO for 10% off). We must shift from measuring maintenance costs to focusing on reliability and cost avoidance!Use sensor data and machine facts to prevent failures and extend asset life. Use targeted (not overdone) sensing on critical assets and 3D visualization/CAD models integrated into EAM systems (like Octave) for faster, mobile-friendly insights on assets such as bridges or precision equipment. Elevotec supports Octave and eMaint options. Remember, maintenance is the “blood” of the organization; sustained reliability programs deliver real bottom-line value.
