Abstract: How do we offer a great career, attracting and retaining the best people? Expertise is achieved by building on training, qualifications and experience. Young people building a career want quick steps towards promotion and authority. The community needs a diverse range of people, with clear equal opportunities and rewards, with an inclusive environment. Are there unique features of PHM which pose challenges or benefits? How do we develop the deep domain knowledge, and apply state of the art knowledge? How do we foster a strong relationship between academia and the industry? This panel will address these questions and more.

Abstract: Prognostics and Health Maintenance (PHM) holds immense promise for revolutionizing asset management across industries. Proof-of-concept (POC) projects often showcase impressive results, but many PHM applications struggle to make the leap to full-scale deployment. This panel discussion dives deep into the challenges hindering PHM adoption and explores practical strategies to bridge the gap between POC and product.
• Common roadblocks to PHM implementation, including data integration, scalability, and cost justification.
• Strategies for overcoming challenges, such as building robust data infrastructure, developing user-friendly interfaces, and demonstrating clear ROI.
• Real-world case studies showcasing successful PHM deployments and the key factors that contributed to their success.
• Future trends shaping the evolution of PHM technology and its integration into industrial operations.
PHM futures: vision of CBM, AI, and opportunities

Abstract: The future will include a range of self-awareness in systems, large and small, including those of comparatively low value today. We will be able to achieve full condition based maintenance in any product or service. What are the big opportunities? How will we distinguish what is worth doing? How will we avoid excessive costs, bandwidth or interference? What advantages (or otherwise) should we envisage in all-connected systems, interfacing with artificial intelligence? How will we protect future communities from ethical concerns? These questions and more will generate a lively discussion with our invited experts.
Disrupting the after-market with PHM
Moderator – Philip Naylor, Rolls-Royce

Abstract: PHM has the potential to make huge changes to products and services throughout their life. The reliability and availability of systems have been demonstrated to respond significantly to health monitoring. How will the supply chain respond to the after-market support for OEM products? Who benefits from PHM in the after-market? What will be the characteristics of the winning formula – and will disruption result in ‘winners and losers’, or benefits for all? Are there blockers for progress in the after-market? These questions and more will be addressed by our expert panel.
