It is a brand-new age of intelligent, low-cost, wireless vibration monitoring (and the Industrial Internet of Things/IIoT) plus cloud-based software systems that utilize machine learning (predictive analytics, expert systems, artificial intelligence) to detect and diagnose fault conditions. So, what does that mean for operators of industrial plants, vibration monitoring companies, service providers, (vibration training companies), and vibration analysts across the world? Will the plant operators reach new levels of plant output and reduced costs? Will many of the traditional vibration companies go away? Will vibration analysts be replaced by computer systems? Or is it all hype? In this presentation, Jason will attempt to answer these questions and explain what the current approaches are to the automated measurement and analysis of vibration (and other process/condition data). 

Jason Tranter is the founder and CEO of Mobius Institute. Jason is the author of the majority of the Mobius Institute training courses and e-learning products covering reliability improvement, condition monitoring, and precision maintenance topics. Over 35,000 people (as of 2020) have been formally trained in these courses, and many thousands more have been educated via the elearning courses. Plus, thousands have read articles, attended conference presentations, and watched videos and webinars on many sites, including cbmconnect.com, reliabilityconnect.com, and YouTube (over 1.3 million views).

Mr. Tranter has worked with people in a variety of industries to help improve reliability and implement successful condition monitoring programs. As the primary author of the Asset Reliability Practitioner [ARP] training courses, the Asset Reliability Transformation [ART] methodology, and the vibration analysis training course (Category I-IV following 18436-2) he loves to help people achieve their goals. Jason is also an Australian delegate to ISO TC 108/SC5 “Condition monitoring and diagnostics of machine systems”.

Founded in 1999, Mobius Institute has training centers in over 60 countries and provides certification through the Mobius Institute Board of Certification. The certification programs are accredited to ISO/IEC 17024. Mobius has direct offices in Australia, United States, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East with over 35 employees.
