Overview
Why do you need analysis assistance?
What is iLearnVibration?
In this presentation we will discuss how our training and assistance products can help you in your job. We will also go through the products, starting with the iLearnVibration training, covering
iLearnInteractive
So many technical terms and principles
So many analysis techniques and fault conditions
Where do you turn when you have questions?
Books, technical papers and Web sites
That’s a lot of reading, and a lot of clicking!
Do you need training?
You can just sit back and listen, like a video
Or you can sit up and take control
Easy to search for the material that answers your questions
Available 24 hours per day!

iLearnVibration training
This is an overview of the structure of the system – very important to some people.
When they start the system they have to log in. This enables us to track the progress of every student.
When they click Log In they are shown a list of the subjects/courses available (which can be customized – they could even add their own material). Here they select the course of interest. Millwrights might take the “Maintenance practices and condition monitoring” course to get an overview, which someone involved in the analysis of vibration may take Vibration Analyst Level II.
I recommend that people involved with vibration analysis should go through all of the material. They can select the All Subjects option.
The courses are broken into lessons which take approximately one hour to complete. When you next log-in you will be taken to the next module in the course. In the example above it tells me to take the Condition monitoring technologies lesson.
And finally, when you complete all of the lessons, you receive a certificate – which you print out.

iLearnVibration training
We cover everything from the most basic, fundamental topics (for the absolute beginner) to more advanced topics like phase analysis, diagnosing machine faults, high frequency bearing analysis techniques, and much more
There are over 1800 ‘slides’ with over 7.5 hours of narration (voice recordings)
There are also over 400 quiz questions
The quizzes help you to check that you have understood the material
iLearnInteractive
Do you learn from training alone?
It is essential that you are taught the terms, techniques and skills
To prepare for the ‘real world’, you need to practice your new skills
You need the chance to practice on machines with known faults – practice makes perfect
Solution: iLearnVibration [Professional]
Do you need more than ‘just’ training?

Everything you have learned will help…
Practice with case histories will help…
But what about when you have questions?
What do you need?
You need quick access the information most often required
You need help with spectrum analysis
What do you do when you are on your own?
iLearnInteractive
Utilize the bookmarks for have created
Search on specific fault conditions
Search on specific machine types
Look up special test settings
Review how to set up your database
And so on…
Search the training material
View a tree of common faults (imbalance, etc.) and a tree of common symptoms (sidebands, harmonics, etc.)
With supporting information and links to the training
Convert units, view forcing frequencies, and more
Refer to an excellent glossary
Reference Center
Harmonic and sideband series
Then you have to determine the likely reason for those patterns
Imbalance, looseness, bearing faults, broken rotor bars, etc.
iLearnInterpreter
iLearnInteractive
iLearnInterpreter performs both tasks…
It studies the spectrum, looks at all of the peaks, then places markers on the key series
It highlights each of the harmonic and sideband series
It will find patterns that you did not even know were there
Then it provides an explanation for each pattern
Imbalance, looseness, bearing faults, broken rotor bars, etc.
And it provides an explanation, with links to the training material (if you own it)

CSI RBMWare (Machinery Health Manager), Entek/Rockwell Odyssey, SKF Machine Analyst, Commtest ASCENT, DLI ExpertALERT, PRÜFTECHNIK OMNITREND, SPM Condmaster Pro, and others
It works by ‘looking’ at the spectrum on the screen
You don’t have to make any preparations
Just drag the ‘helping hand’ from the system tray to the graph

With training, the organization will receive all of the benefits possible from the condition monitoring system:
The analysts will be in a better position to make accurate diagnoses and recommendations, and should have an earlier warning of machine faults.
Technicians will perform data collection with greater repeatability, and with fewer errors, plus they will return from the field with a larger number of useful observations.
Operators, millwrights and others will have a great understanding and appreciation for the condition monitoring activities. As a result there is greater teamwork, better results, and less “us and them” stress.
Other managers in maintenance, operations, engineering, and production will have greater confidence in your recommendations.
Upper management may a better understanding of condition monitoring and may have more realistic expectations.
iLearnInteractive
You will have greater confidence in your judgment
You can improve teamwork and increase cooperation
You will often get an earlier warning of a machine fault
There will be fewer unexpected machine failures

How often will I use iLearnVibration?
Does iLearnVibration mean I can’t go to class?
Will I be able to teach myself?
How can I justify the product?
How do I convince my manager?
Now we get to introduce the products.
For now, we hit the high points: we teach them, we allow them to build their experience and confidence, and we give them a reference – because they will need help.

“I have been doing just fine without it!”
What you don’t know can hurt you
Are you sure there are no gaps in your knowledge?
A great deal can be achieved if everything is done correctly
But how do you know?
Have you ever had a question and wanted a quick answer?
Have you ever seen something unusual in a spectrum?
Have you ever had to train a new staff member?
Now we get to introduce the products.
For now, we hit the high points: we teach them, we allow them to build their experience and confidence, and we give them a reference – because they will need help.

“Will I use it after an initial training session?”
Absolutely – you will use it over and over!
It was not designed to just provide a once-off course
Lots of our users report that they use iLearnVibration more than once per week
iLearnInterpreter gets used far more frequently
Now we get to introduce the products.
For now, we hit the high points: we teach them, we allow them to build their experience and confidence, and we give them a reference – because they will need help.
iLearnInteractive
“But shouldn’t I go to training class?”
iLearnVibration is not designed to replace training class
You can still go to class
Interaction with the instructor and other ‘students’ is important and helpful
But courses have their limitations
Most people only retain 30% of what was taught
Who/what do you turn to when you return?
Solution: Do both!
Get iLearnVibration before you go to class for greatest effectiveness
Now we get to introduce the products.
For now, we hit the high points: we teach them, we allow them to build their experience and confidence, and we give them a reference – because they will need help.
iLearnInteractive
Will I be able to teach myself?
“I don’t learn well unless I am in a structured class”
Remember, iLearnVibration is not designed to replace the training class
It is more useful as a source of refresher training and a source of answers to tough questions
You don’t have to sit down with the system for hours at a time: you either use it when you have questions, or you can take one lesson at a time, once per day – whatever you like!
Now we get to introduce the products.

“Some general training CD are just $150”
iLearnVibration is far more than just a “training CD”
It contains very specialized information
It includes tools to help you do your job
You spent “thousands” on your vibration monitoring system:
A relatively small additional investment will help you to gain maximum benefit
What you learn, and the faults Interpreter helps you find, could result in “thousands” of dollars saved/avoided in downtime/repairs/parts
Now we get to introduce the products.

“I am not sure my manager will approve it”
You may need to admit you need help…
You need to try and put the benefits in terms that relate to your situation
The need for staff training
Was there a fault you missed that may have been caught if you owned our product?
Look at our customer list – can you see a competitor of yours?
We have a document that might help
