U E Systems, Inc. Release date: June 26, 2009
From timely insights that result in immediate ROI to peer-to-peer networking with an international audience, the Ultrasound World annual conference has become one of the industry's most sound investments.
Going on its sixth year as the industries only international predictive maintenance conference focused on ultrasonic and complimentary technologies, Ultrasound World has offered plant maintenance professionals the unique ability to share inspection challenges and learn about real world, proven strategies that result in real-time ROI.
In a time when almost every plant manager is looking for new ways to reduce costs and carbon footprint, Ultrasound World has been a pleasingly different experience for attendees - providing tools and techniques that all but guarantee a more efficient, safer, and more profitable predictive maintenance program.
Among the 12 presentations, workshops, exhibits and training courses offered during Ultrasound World V, one of the most memorable was from Dean Wolever of Herman Miller, Inc. A longtime advocate of ultrasound technology, during his presentation on Generating Savings From An Ultrasound Inspection Program, he stated that "Ultrasound inspection paid for itself the first time we used it to locate a welding gas leak." Dean went on to say "to date he has demonstrated a savings of $250,000 in leaks alone."
Due to the existing economy and the need for a significant ramp up in energy efficiency, the Ultrasound World V conference continued to teach attendees and invited guests easy, effective, and timely ways to improve their bottom line while reducing energy simultaneously. Additionally, although the conference is titled Ultrasound World and showcases how ultrasonic detectors convert ultrasonic frequencies into an audible range to pinpoint existing or potential plant equipment problems caused by airborne or structure borne mechanical, electric or fluid systems, the conference also promotes complimentary technologies such as infrared and vibration inspection programs.
Although most of these technologies have been available for more than 35 years, there are many companies who have barely touched on its' potential for reducing energy costs and improving equipment performance levels. Ultrasound World offers this knowledge from those that are responsible for plant performance every day.
The next Ultrasound World conference, Ultrasound World VI launches May 10, 2010 in Clearwater Beach, Florida. Lasting three days, this next installment will continue to feature presentations from plant maintenance professionals sharing their insights. Attendees can also expect to receive invaluable international peer-to-peer networking opportunities, information on improving asset availability, increased productivity, and plant-generated ROI, concepts for improved maintenance practices, and an overall better understanding of how ultrasound works with other PdM technologies.
The overall goal for each attendee should be to create a new enthusiasm for implementing plant-wide savings through ultrasound and to return home with an immediate game plan for increasing profit and decreasing energy consumption.
Chuck Peterson, President of Peterson Predictive Maintenance and a recent presenter at Ultrasound World added, "The results of ultrasound are immediate and undeniable. I remember using ultrasound for a client's compressed air inspection program. After one quarter, the ROI was 2 to 1." Peterson continued with a chuckle, "The cost of the UltraprobeŽ inspection device we recommended to them was roughly $11,000 compared to the $25,000 - $30,000 they saved on compressed air leak detection. In fact, since we introduced ultrasound to their PdM program, they have not had the need for one new compressor, creating a savings of $225,000. Yes, if you are not intimately familiar with ultrasound technology, this conference is important. Very important."
UE Systems, Inc. the leading provider of ultrasound detection equipment and producer of the UltraprobeŽ inspection gun is the annual host of this burgeoning event. When asked about next years event, Alan Bandes, Vice President of Marketing for UE Systems said "Each year the Utrasound World events keep getting better and better. We (at UE Systems) really pride ourselves on planning the conference because we feel it's imperative that plant professionals continue to learn how the technology can improve plant performance, save costs, and streamline efficiency. Hopefully with a result that encourages an economic stimulus for those organizations."
