Learn about successful lubrication at Reliable Plant

Reliable Plant, sponsored by Noria Corp., heads to the Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville, Ky., April 5-7. This event is geared towards professionals involved in machinery lubrication and oil analysis, including engineers, hydraulic specialists, maintenance specialists, mechanics, plant managers and more.

In addition to close to 100 exhibitors showcasing everything from fluid and lubrication manufacturers, filtration and contamination solutions to leak detection equipment, Reliable Plant also features a three-day conference with close to 75 seminars, as well as pre and post-conference sessions. Sessions include case studies and tutorial classes in the following areas:

• Maintenance Management
• Lubricant Storage and Handling
• Oil Analysis
• Hydraulics
• Lubricant Selection
• Reliability Engineering
• Planning and Scheduling
• Lubrication Program Management
• Condition Monitoring
• Root Cause Analysis
• Contamination Control

I attended this event last year for only a few hours, as I was heading out to another trade show but even just the few hours I spent were worthwhile. See a roundup of some of the new products and technologies on view then; I’m sure we’ll see as many innovative designs this year.

Leadership coach, trainer and presenter Dan Rockwell will kick off the event during his keynote speech. Rockwell writes the popular blog, Leadership Freak. His keynote, “Finding Fire” describes how one individual in a small community turned his desire to make a difference into a global organization that changed the world. Exploring how this leader overcame obstacles, built the right team and pursued excellence, Rockwell will illustrate to his audience that five powerful principles have the potential to invigorate leaders and transform organizations:

• How to eliminate the deadly behavior that quenches vitality.
• One unexpected word that provides lifelong challenge and opportunity to any leader.
• A simple five step-conversation that initiates forward momentum.
• Reconnect with purpose and strength to fuel vibrancy.
• Uncover the path that one lumber-yard clerk took toward leadership and global impact.
