Close to 1,100 maintenance and reliability
professionals congregated at the Huntington
Convention Center in Cleveland, Ohio, to celebrate
Noria's 20th installment of the Reliable Plant
Conference & Exhibition, the world's premier
conference for those in the maintenance and
reliability industry.
Prior to the conference's offi cial start, attendees were
onsite on Monday, April 15, for four pre-conference
workshops. The sessions, which shared insights
and tips on hot topics in the industry, included "Key
Principles and Best Practices for Better Maintenance
Management" by Christer Idhammar and Owe Forsberg
of IDCON, and "How to Integrate Multiple Condition
Monitoring Technologies for Maximum Reliability" by
Walter Barringer of Allied Reliability.
"I usually go to two conferences each year, and I always
come here in the spring," said Doc Palmer, managing
partner at Richard Palmer & Associates. "Reliable Plant
brings a good cross section of people to learn from
others. I work for an electric utility, and electric utility
people go to electric utility conferences, paper mill
people go to paper conferences, and that's not where
you pick up the good ideas. Everybody has pumps,
assets and a big deal is lubrication, and Reliable Plant
brings a lot of people and talks about a lot of subjects.
This is the No. 1 conference for me."
You guys had
more vendors
than I've seen
ever, and I
made an effort
to walk and see
every vendor I
wanted to see."
