The European International Machine Vibration Analysis Conference (IMVAC) was well-attended in Antwerp, Belgium, and now IMVAC announces a fourth event location in Singapore.

Mobius Institute, the premier provider of vibration analysis, condition monitoring and reliability training & certification, today announced its European International Machine Vibration Analysis Conference (IMVAC) was well-attended with over 170 professionals at its inaugural event held in Antwerp, Belgium. The IMVAC Europe event is one of four IMVAC conferences being held worldwide. The demonstrated momentum of IMVAC led conference organizers to announce the newest location held in Singapore on April 10-12, 2018.

IMVAC Europe offered a variety of learning opportunities that ranged from basic to advanced vibration analysis and condition monitoring topics including four streams of workshops, presentations and hands-on sessions delivered by experts in the community. More than 170 industry professionals attended the three-day event, which also featured 13 leading exhibiting companies representing multiple condition monitoring technologies, such as: Vibration, Ultrasound, Motor Testing, Alignment/Balancing, Infrared, and Lubrication. The event also hosted four keynote presentations: Herman Baets presented “Challenges for Maintenance in a Changing World,” Dr. Joris Van Ostaeyen presented “Successfully Applying Predictive Analytics for Data Driven Maintenance,” Dean Whittle presented “Fault Detection, Root Cause Analysis and Documenting your Vibration Analysis program,” and Jason Tranter presented “Making Vibration Analysis Count.”

“The IMVAC 2017 in Antwerp was excellent. I learned a lot and got to know many interesting people from all sides of the business. Attending the conference was an overall success for me,” said Jonas Albers, Lenord, Bauer & Co. GmbH.

“Condition Monitoring is foundational to a sustainable reliability program, topics on Condition Monitoring have become rare and practitioners have few opportunities to learn from others in the field outside their own company,” said Jason Tranter, founder and CEO, Mobius Institute. “IMVAC was specifically created for vibration analysts, condition monitoring specialists and reliability professionals. We want to share the successes of practical examples and inform practitioners of the new innovations available to manage equipment condition.”

With the growing success of IMVAC events, conference organizers announced that the new IMVAC Asia event will be held in Singapore on April 10-12, 2018. Venue selection is underway and will be announced in the coming weeks.

The new International Machine Vibration Analysis Conference (IMVAC) serving industrial vibration analysts and machine condition professionals will be held in Orlando, Florida, October 31 to November 2, 2016.

Mobius Institute, the premier provider of vibration analysis training & certification, today announced the 2016 International Machine Vibration Analysis Conference (IMVAC) will be held in Orlando, Florida on October 31 to November 2, 2016 at the B-Resort & Spa at Walt Disney World.

IMVAC is a professional development conference serving vibration analysts, condition monitoring technicians, condition monitoring managers and reliability engineers who want to improve their knowledge about vibration analysis and complimentary technologies. It is a new annual conference that will be held in the in three locations worldwide; in the USA, Europe and the Middle East. IMVAC provides unmatched learning opportunities that range from basic to advanced vibration analysis, having three streams of workshops, presentations and hands-on sessions delivered by vibration analysis experts. It also includes an exposition that features over 20 leading vendors of vibration analysis and complimentary technologies.

IMVAC was developed in response to a growing need for continued development of vibration analysts after their formal classroom training and certification, and to keep analyst up to date with emerging vibration analysis and related condition monitoring technologies. Generally, maintenance and machine condition monitoring conferences offer wide coverage of condition monitoring and reliability improvement topics, and have provided much content that is directly relevant to the vibration analyst. IMVAC narrowly focuses its topics on the needs of the beginner through advanced vibration analysts.

Vibration analysis continues to be the largest and most important segment of the industrial machine condition monitoring and plant reliability market. Properly implemented vibration analysis programs allows industrial plants to identify machine faults and wear months in advance of failure, allowing pre-emptive repairs to be made by plant maintenance personnel. Additionally, vibration analysis is a key component to any plant reliability improvement program, providing insight into a machine’s life cycle and root causes of failure.

“We are asked time and time again, where does a vibration analyst find learning and networking opportunities beyond the classroom?” said Jason Tranter, founder and managing director, Mobius Institute. “Having training centers in 50 countries and great relationships with many experts and leading vendors, bringing IMVAC to industry was a great fit for us”.
