The world of industrial maintenance is changing fast. With more data, more technology, and more pressure to avoid breakdowns, maintenance and operations teams are being challenged to work smarter—not harder. That’s exactly what our Automation, Maintenance & Reliability Summit on May 2nd is all about.
One of the standout sessions you won’t want to miss is “Implementing Reliability Centered Maintenance,” led by Dr. Klaus Blache, Director of the Reliability & Maintainability Center at the University of Tennessee.
So, What’s This Session All About?
If you've ever wondered how to actually get everyone on the same page when it comes to equipment reliability, this session is for you.
Dr. Blache will walk us through how to bring all the moving parts together—people, processes, tools, and technology—into one strategy that works. You’ll learn how to:
Set up and use a CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System)
Plan and schedule maintenance that actually sticks
Get your team working together across departments
Manage your storeroom and materials more efficiently
Align leadership and operations on reliability goals
Use reliability centered maintenance and root cause analysis to prevent failures before they happen
It’s a full-picture approach to building a smart, reliable, and effective maintenance culture.
Why You Should Hear from Dr. Klaus Blache
Dr. Blache brings years of real-world experience and research into how companies can turn their maintenance programs into high-performing, efficient machines. As the Director of the Reliability & Maintainability Center, he’s helped countless organizations apply these practices and get real results—not just theories.
This isn’t your typical maintenance talk—it’s hands-on, practical, and packed with ideas you can take back to your plant or facility and use right away.
Bonus Experience: Optional Tour of Southeastern Container
Want to see automation and asset management in action? After the summit, we’re offering an optional tour of Southeastern Container—a leading manufacturer of plastic bottles for brands like Dasani and Coca-Cola.
SEC produces over 2 billion bottles every year, and on this exclusive tour, you’ll get an inside look at their high-tech facility. From advanced robotics to smart maintenance systems, you’ll see how they keep operations running smoothly, efficiently, and reliably.
You’ll also learn how they use asset management strategies to keep downtime low and performance high—even in a fast-paced, high-demand environment.
This is a great chance to:
Watch cutting-edge automation in action
See real examples of reliability best practices
Ask questions and connect with industry pros
Walk away with ideas you can use in your own facility
Who Should Attend?
This summit is for:
Plant, production, and manufacturing managers
Maintenance and safety engineers
Automation specialists and system integrators
Anyone who wants to get ahead in reliability, maintenance, and operations
Whether you're just starting your journey or looking to level up an established program, you’ll leave with practical tools, new connections, and fresh inspiration.
Join us May 2nd for a full day of learning, collaboration, and future-focused conversations—and stick around for a tour that brings it all to life.
