Right Sizing Red Hat OpenShift Environment for MAS
By evaluating the type of system you are constructing and selecting the MAS components that your are implementing you will be able to accurately size your environment which now runs as containerized applications under Red Hat OpenShift.
TRM Joins Aspen Technology’s Partner Program to Support Customers’ Asset Performance Management and Predictive Maintenance (PdM) Initiatives
TRM joins with Aspen Mtell to empower organizations to enhance asset performance through industrial artificial intelligence and machine learning along with other monitoring technologies.
Watson Studio Essentials: Data Preparation Strategies & AutoAI Advancements
This article describes the first few steps a person will take when using existing data sets and preparing them for use in AI/ML forecasting and anomaly detection. It introduces the reader to IBM Watson Studio by way of a problem statement and sample equipment data.
Defining Production Downtime
In manufacturing the term “production downtime” is often met with a sense of urgency and concern. It represents periods when production halts, directly impacting a company’s operational efficiency and profitability.
Industrial Maintenance
Industrial maintenance is a comprehensive process crucial to the reliable operation of various industrial plants, mines, and mills. It extends beyond simple repairs, involving a systematic approach to condition monitoring, fixed time maintenance, and corrective maintenance approaches for industrial equipment.

Add This Important Tool to your Predictive Maintenance Approach: Aspen Mtell
A key element of any approach to asset performance management (APM) are the tools to make use of the vast amounts of operational data coming from actual equipment sensors. Aspen Mtell is one of those tools that uses machine learning algorithms to analyze the data and generate credible alerts to impending failures.
TRM High Security Cloud and its Relation to NERC CIP and NIST CSF
It is important to understand what some of the cybersecurity standards and requirements are and how they may impact your adoption of cloud environments for your software solutions.
What Is and How to Use Anomaly Detection
Anomaly detection (AD) is the art of discovering data points in a data set that deviate from what is considered normal or expected. Let’s try an example. Look at the chart below and ask a couple of questions: What appears to be the normal, or expected value for each day of the 16-day process? What appears to be the significant excursion(s) from that normal?
What is Asset Performance Management (APM)?
While the definition of APM may vary from one organization to another, there are several foundational elements that need to be considered to start down this path. APM is not a product nor even a framework but rather describes a set of activities that we have been doing to some degree or another for quite some time. Of course, there are software and other tools that can provide the necessary features and functions you need to “do,” APM.
RCFA Problem Statements, Avoid These Mistakes!
RCFA problem statements are key to solving the right problem at your plant but sometimes the problem statement that we write down isn’t a fact. We pick something that’s not quite true. It’s a little bit off, and that makes our root cause very long. Sometimes we miss the root cause altogether because it’s wrong.
