On this episode of Reliability 4.0, we chat with Derek Wilken, the Maintenance Project Lead at G&W Electric. Derek explains how his team handles preventive maintenance across various facilities and achieves a ~98% completion rate on roughly 600 PM tasks each month.

Derek also talks about the enabling role of technology, such as the eMaint CMMS by Fluke and tablets that allow each member of the maintenance team to move efficiently throughout facilities and increase productivity. Derek is very optimistic about the potential of AI in predictive maintenance, and he also emphasizes the importance of involving machine operators in the decision-making process to ensure the seamless integration of new procedures and enhance reliability.
