Webinar: Not Your Granddad's Machinery Protection System. Machinery

protection systems are generally thought of as a necessity that acts as an "earthquake switch"
for your critical machinery. Often, these systems are stranded in hard-to-reach areas and are
not connected to the plant's data processes. They are typically hard to configure and require
many spare parts to deal with the different types of signals. This webinar addresses new
technologies that are emerging to deliver valuable predictive data from the protection system,
making it a contributor to improving plant and asset reliability.

Today's sophisticated machinery and operations are no longer
best served by time-based lubrication practices. In this month's
article (p. 35), lubrication expert Ken Bannister discusses the
need to move to a condition-based approach. In the podcast that
accompanies the article, he explains, in more detail, what this
means and how to establish a condition-based lubrication system.
