We invite you to join us in our Pre-conference workshops to fully maximize your experience in the convention; Here are some of the features and benefits of joining:

  • They offer a chance for in-depth learning and skill-building activities.
  • The workshops are led by experts and designed to provide hands-on learning experiences.
  • Workshops allow participants to dive deeper into a particular subject than they would during regular conference sessions.
  • The workshops are often smaller and more intimate, which creates a collaborative and supportive learning environment.
  • Participants can network with other professionals who share their interests and goals.

Pre-conference workshops can help you to build your skills and knowledge in a particular area. We assure that you will gain new insights, tools, and strategies that you can apply to your work and share with your colleagues.

We are accepting abstracts on the outlined topics and other related topics that fall within the conference theme.

Businesses have a one-of-a-kind chance to display their goods and services to a targeted audience of asset performance management and asset dependability professionals from diverse industries at the APM 4.0 LEADCon 2023 – Leadership, Engineering, Advantage.

Conference themes are broad topics that serve as the overarching focus of a conference or event. Understanding the conference theme and related topics can help attendees determine which sessions and presentations will be most relevant and beneficial for them to attend.

The APM LEADCon 2023 is the event for discussion of best practices for managing crucial assets in the new normal. Attendees will gain knowledge about Asset and Risk Management, Asset Integrity, RAM and Maintenance Management, and Leadership and Competence from experts in their fields, practitioners, and leaders of professional bodies who will be presenting. Additionally, the conference will offer workshops, networking chances for vendors, and cooperation opportunities.

Proper Use of Vibration Transducers for Monitoring and Diagnostics of Plant Assets

Vibration sensors such as: proximity, velocity and accelerometer are used for measuring vibration. Proper selection of these sensors for specific applications is important to obtain correct vibration readings and problem diagnosis. Proximity transducer also called Eddy current probe or non-contact displacement transducer is used for monitoring the bearing clearance usage in a journal bearing. Journal bearings such as plain or tilting pad bearings are found in medium and large rotating machinery e.g. steam-turbine-generators, hydro-generators in Power Generation plants. They are also found in steam-turbine-compressors in the Oil & Gas industry. Linearity testing of proximity transducers is important to ensure that the readings displayed in the DCS or SCADA and Vibration Monitor are accurate to avoid false alarms and trips that may result in loss of production or profit and penalties from government. Also, most plants do not check the rotor shaft material of the machine and work only on the assumption that it is 4140 steel equivalent where a standard proximity transducer is calibrated. Now-a-days, smart transducers are available that come with configuration software to compensate or program the driver for various types of rotor shaft material.

Operationalizing Asset Integrity: A Practical Guide to Identifying and Managing Safety-Critical Equipment and Activities

The objective of this workshop is to give participants an awareness of how to generate an HSSE Case, create risk assessments and generate a list of HSSE-Critical Equipment and HSSE-Critical activities, as part of operationalizing Asset Integrity in the workplace. This is an interactive session where participants will learn by working together, to generate a set of identified HSSE-Critical Equipment and HSSE-Critical Activities for their respective industries (or alternatively a a hypothetical plant) through a step by step approach using risk management concepts and tools.
