SOUTHEAST Session: Manufacturers face a dual challenge: reducing unplanned downtime while also addressing rising energy costs and sustainability targets. Traditional Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) has focused on asset reliability and uptime, but it often overlooks the significant energy wasted when machines operate in a fault state, up to 20% more electricity. This presentation introduces Energy-Centered Maintenance (ECM) , a next-generation approach that combines predictive maintenance with energy efficiency. By monitoring key parameters of rotating equipment, ECM helps manufacturers detect early signs of inefficiency, prevent failures, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Attendees will see real-world case studies, including how a pharmaceutical manufacturer deployed over 140 sensors across global facilities to save 136 hours of downtime and $42,000 in excess energy usage. The session will demonstrate how ECM strategies deliver measurable ROI, improve operational excellence, and align maintenance practices with corporate sustainability goals

SOUTHEAST Exhibitor: Our Story is One of Continuous Innovation It starts in 1938 with our founder, metallurgist Philip M. McKenna, who after years of research created a tungsten-titanium carbide alloy specifically for cutting tools. That single development not only led to a new class of machining tools that cut faster, lasted longer and drove productivity in everything from the automobile to the airplane, but also led to the opening of McKenna Metals Company in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Today, that company is Kennametal Inc.—a recognized leader in metalworking serving customers across continents and industries including transportation, construction, aerospace, machining and cutting, energy and general engineering. We have a reputation for building innovative solutions for our customers’ most challenging applications. The name Kennametal is synonymous for high-quality, high-performance tools that can withstand the most strenuous conditions and bring ease to a wide range of machining operations. We help our customers’ operations run longer, faster and with greater precision. We don’t cut corners. We cut metal. Your toughest materials don’t stand a chance.
