The document appears to be a presentation on best practices in predictive maintenance. The agenda outlines topics that will be covered including maintenance practices, trends in industrial maintenance, leading technologies like vibration and thermal imaging, and how to develop a predictive maintenance program to maximize return on investment. Case studies are presented highlighting how predictive maintenance practices can help avoid downtime and reduce costs. A blended approach to maintenance is recommended over purely reactive, preventive, or predictive approaches alone. Trends discussed include the increasing costs of downtime, leaner maintenance staffs, growing awareness of maintenance best practices, and new technologies enabling easier use of tools like thermography and vibration analysis.
