On today’s show, we have a special presentation from the latest NFPA Quarterly Technology Conference. Our Quarterly Technology Conferences are done in collaboration with MSOE’s Fluid Power Industrial Consortium. They feature presentations on market-ready fluid power technologies and allow for networking across the fluid power supply chain – as suppliers, manufacturers, and OEMs come together for mutual benefit.

Our March 7, 2024 event was focused on Fluid Power technologies that are helping to drive industrial machines towards Predictive and Preventative Maintenance. One of our presenters was Connor Dudas, from Schroeder Industries. The presentation was titled “Predictive Maintenance & Condition Monitoring.”
