The U.S. Department of Energy and the Federal Energy Management Program found that predictive maintenance programs can save you 8-12% over preventive maintenance. To become more predictive, you need warning signs before unplanned downtime happens. When used properly, gauges can alert you to issues before they become problems. Watch this video to learn how gauges can help you be more predictive.

Gauges serve as your first line of defense against disaster -- if they''re applied correctly. WIKA found that 25% of pressure gauges in a typical plant are broken, failing or misapplied. A failed gauge can lead to media leakage and cause a serious safety incident. Watch this video to learn more about the most common reasons for gauge failure and how to solve these issues.

Replacing a gauge with one that "looks about right" is a disaster in the making. Gauges need to be properly applied to ensure everyone makes it home at the end of the day. Watch this video to learn how gauge misapplication impacts your safety, productivity and profits; and how WIKA''s FAST program can provide the expertise you need to get it right.

What you can''t see at your plant can hurt you. Fugitive emissions bring hefty fines and compromise the safety of your workers as well as your community. A typical plant has more than 300,000 connections that can be potential leak points -- a significant portion of these are gauges. Watch this video to learn how you can keep gauges from becoming a leak point and prevent fugitive emissions.
