Why You Cannot Miss This Event:
Engineers have common objectives when managing assets –
ensuring efficiency, effectiveness, reliability, flow and uptime across
industries and sectors. Particularly today when many of the assets
vary in age and capability but are expected to operate beyond their
original intended life span, it is crucial for you to be equipped with
skill-set to maximise equipment lifecycle, improve operational
efficiency and increase reliability. It is vital for operators to have a
complete picture of the assets to ensure the highest productivity
whilst reducing breakdowns, failure and equipment damage.
With the continuous success of our annual engineering events, we
are proud to present you with PACE: Process and Critical
Equipment forum, the first cross-functional streamed event with 2
tracks – Critical Equipment Management and Process Optimisation.
In this dynamic forum, we highlight on core contributors, benchmark
and success stories in optimising asset performance in critical
environments by exploring equipment design, maintenance, processes
and asset replacement strategies. Within the stream on Critical
Equipment Management, expect to be enlightened on inspection,
reliability, operational and maintenance excellence aspects of critical
equipments. Conversely in the Process Optimisation stream, you will
uncover best practices on equipment design evaluations,
troubleshooting, process simulation and debottlenecking to accelerate
your plant’s operability.
