Industrial plant almost never fails without warning. This programme teaches you to read those signs — vibration, temperature, consumption — before the breakdown, then to carry out the intervention and document what was done. It covers energy because the context demands it: an unstable grid, backup generators, supplementary solar, and an energy cost that often decides a site's profitability.
Learning objectives
- Draw up a preventive maintenance plan and keep to it
- Diagnose a fault by measurement rather than trial and error
- Carry out an intervention safely and document it
- Cut a plant's energy consumption without degrading output
