In this episode of Maintenance Manufacturing Insights, Martin Engster sits down with Josiah Peterson, Maintenance Manager at Oldcastle Building Envelope, to discuss what it takes to keep a modern glass manufacturing facility operating efficiently. Josiah shares his unique career journey—from growing up on a dairy farm and working in logging communities to maintaining high-speed manufacturing equipment in industries ranging from Amazon and food production to energy drinks and now architectural glass manufacturing. The conversation explores the challenges of maintaining specialized equipment, sourcing obsolete replacement parts, balancing production demands with preventive maintenance, and introducing predictive maintenance technologies like vibration analysis and infrared inspections. Josiah also explains how glass is cut, tempered, polished, and prepared for residential and commercial projects, including supplying glass for Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. If you're interested in maintenance leadership, reliability, manufacturing careers, CMMS implementation, predictive maintenance, or industrial problem-solving, this episode offers practical insights from someone who has worked across multiple manufacturing industries. ------------------------- Are you responsible for keeping machines running and production on track?
