As the veteran workforce retires, industries are facing a massive loss of specialized knowledge. Dr. Karl Hoffower joins hosts Jonathan Gindner and Brendan Russ to explain why AI isn't a "magic bullet" for swinging wrenches and how a lack of leadership incentives often leads to repetitive equipment failure. Drawing from his background as a chiropractor and neurologist, Dr. Hoffower shares how he adapted human medical diagnostics—like x-rays and EKGs—into high-level vibration and oil analysis for industrial machinery. Discover why "value engineering" and procurement bonuses might actually be ruining your plant's reliability and how a Reliability Intervention Team (RIT) can save your bottom line.

Kelly Amundson, Senior Director of Sustainable Operations at JLL, joins Reliability Radio to discuss the evolving landscape of sustainability in asset management. The conversation covers key initiatives such as electrification, water reduction, and waste management, emphasizing the importance of breaking down silos between sustainability and engineering teams. Kelly highlights the role of specialized knowledge in driving change and the shift towards ROI-focused sustainability programs in large organizations.

In this episode of Reliability Radio, Jeff Hay, CEO and founder of RDI Technologies, explains how Motion Amplification is changing the landscape of vibration analysis. By using standard video cameras to measure and visualize movement, RDI helps organizations identify root causes of equipment failure, improve commissioning processes, and bridge the communication gap between technical teams and management. Jeff also shares insights on the future of AI in reliability and RDI's new continuous monitoring solutions for hazardous areas.

In this session from IMC, Greg Elliott, a prominent expert from JLL, delves into the essential strategies for navigating the evolving landscape of wealth and asset management in 2025. He discusses the critical balance between growth and profitability, the modernization of data to harness the power of AI, and the integration of sustainability into core business operations. Elliott provides actionable insights on building cyber resilience, adapting to new regulatory frameworks, and leveraging managed services to drive efficiency and scalability in a volatile global market.

In this episode of Reliability Radio, we sit down with Chris Sobota and Glenn Gardner of Waites to explore the past, present, and future of condition monitoring. We discuss the transition from manual analog data to the current revolution of wireless sensors and cloud-based AI.
