MOBIUS CONNECT LIVE Fort Myers

The MOBIUS CONNECT LIVE® event series is designed specifically for condition monitoring professionals, maintenance managers and reliability engineers. From interactive learning sessions, real-life case studies, to the latest technologies featured in the expo, this training conference provides practical learning in the important aspects of industrial condition monitoring technologies.

MOBIUS CONNECT LIVE® gets to the meat of what you need to know to do your job better and help your plant run better! While at the event, you can look forward to learning about current topics with actionable education that will help you to detect, diagnose, and solve problems.

Every successful reliability improvement program has an effective condition monitoring program and includes precision maintenance and asset care programs. This is the event where you will learn how to master the technologies and how to implement successful programs.

Info: This interactive workshop guides participants through the journey from foundational reliability practices to advanced intelligent asset management. You’ll explore how to evolve from basic equipment tracking and fault detection to implementing condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, and ultimately, a Monitoring & Diagnostics Center with decision support capabilities.

This workshop provides an integrated roadmap to help factories and industrial facilities develop traditional reliability practices and shift to data-driven smart industrial asset management.

The workshop covers the entire life cycle of industrial equipment, from fault detection and condition monitoring to predictive maintenance and automated diagnostics.

The workshop also explains how to set up in-plant monitoring and diagnostics centers to raise efficiency, reduce downtime, improve equipment performance, and support smart manufacturing initiatives.

Info: Carbon Capture is a hot topic for industry. Regardless of a company’s position on the environment, finding ways to report a lower carbon footprint can make a financial impact on the bottom line. Motor reliability reduces a plant’s carbon footprint by decreasing energy consumption through optimized, efficient operation and fewer shutdowns. Increasing reliability means less energy is wasted, fewer motors need replaced, and the number of expensive restart processes is reduced, which lowers greenhouse gas emissions.

Info: Unplanned equipment failures and lubrication-related bearing damage remain among the most persistent challenges in industrial reliability programs. While many organizations recognize the limitations of time-based inspections and calendar-driven lubrication routes, transitioning to a truly condition-based and autonomous approach presents both technical and organizational hurdles.
This session explores the core principles behind condition-based monitoring and autonomous lubrication, focusing on how maintenance teams can use real-time asset data to make better, risk-informed decisions. Attendees will learn how combining multiple condition indicators such as ultrasound, vibration, and temperature provides a more complete picture of asset health than any single technology alone. Emphasis will be placed on how these data streams complement each other, reduce false positives, and improve confidence in maintenance actions.

Info: This practical short course will introduce participants how to systematically identify the underlying causes of problems rather than just addressing symptoms. The course will introduce proven tools such as the 5 Whys, Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagrams, and basic data analysis methods used to investigate issues, prevent recurrence, and implement effective corrective actions. The course is ideal for professionals seeking to improve problem-solving, process improvement, and decision-making skills across any industry.

Info: Minute details can save a lot of time and energy for example before responding to any trouble shooting we should check ABC simple details & stay focused, calm and composed.

Learning Takeaways:

1: Data acquisition with simple techniques

2: what to check while walking around the equipment

3: Mind focus and calmness

Info: Learning Takeaways:

1 – Understand/identify the Needs of you and your team

2 – Establish Roles & Competencies

3 – Provide guidance for progression

4 – Leverage available resources

Info: Key Takeaways:

Misalignment is often the root cause of recurring equipment failures: Predictive monitoring systems detect the symptoms but rarely identify the underlying problem on their own.
The eight primary drivers of shaft misalignment: Wear/time, baseplate issues, excessive loads, design flaws, vibration, bearing life degradation, heat, and human error, must be understood to prevent failures.
Investigations often focus on what is failing, not why it is failing: Real-world case studies demonstrate the cost and operational impact of overlooking mechanical fundamentals.
Proactive alignment standards and technician training are essential: Creating repeatable installation and verification practices transforms reliability programs from reactive to preventive.

Info: The Powerhouse Lubrication Panel brings together Bennett Fitch, Wes Cash, Nick Mallas, and Sanya Mathura for a candid, high-impact discussion on the realities of lubrication program success. With years of combined experience across lubrication, reliability, and asset management, this panel will explore practical challenges, common misconceptions, and proven strategies drawn from real-world applications.

Attendees can expect an open, experience-driven conversation focused on what works, what doesn’t, and how to elevate lubrication practices to support long-term reliability and performance.

Info: Many organizations want to improve their lubrication programs but struggle with where to start or what success should look like. This workshop will transform vague ideas into a clear vision for an optimized lubrication program. Attendees will learn how to identify and avoid common pitfalls, justify improvement costs, and determine the best starting point for their efforts. Designed for those who work in or manage lubrication programs in industrial facilities, this session provides practical steps to turn lubrication management into a strategic advantage for reliability and performance.

Info: Ultimately, your CMMS tells two stories: the story of the asset and the story of your maintenance program. It is important to remember that a CMMS is fundamentally a software tool—its effectiveness is determined by the knowledge and engagement of its users. With the integration of ML and AI, the gap between theoretical potential and practical application hinges on one critical factor: People and Processes.

This session will examine why People and Processes are essential to the success of any CMMS
initiative, reinforcing the principle that technology alone cannot achieve reliability. Even in 2025, the computer remains a tool. By redefining the “C” in CMMS from “Computerized” to “Change”—as in “Change Maintenance Management System”—organizations can embrace the true spirit of continuous improvement within Maintenance & Reliability. This approach positions the CMMS as a far more powerful tool, aligned with Industry 5.0’s vision of human-centric innovation.

Info: AI is not yet delivering on its big problem-solving promise because it lacks real-world context.
In proactive maintenance, context is the info needed to go from change detected to action to resolve
Bringing real-world context into digital systems is essential for AI to become truly effective.
The end goal is a context-aware Analytic Solution that can reason, diagnose, and act with human-level intelligence

Info: Varnish formation remains one of the most persistent and costly reliability challenges in lubricated equipment, particularly in turbines and high-performance hydraulic systems. This session provides a practical introduction to varnish—what it is, how it differs from sludge, and why it forms—while addressing common misconceptions within the lubrication industry.

Attendees will explore the mechanisms of varnish formation, including the role of oxidation, temperature, oil chemistry, and contamination. The session also examines the long-standing myth linking modern Group II base oils to increased varnish risk, supported by accelerated oxidation testing data. Finally, participants will gain insight into how deposits form in real equipment, how temperature and operating conditions influence deposit location, and which diagnostic tools can be used to assess varnish potential before failures occur.
