    Lubrication Excellence is Driving Reliability at OC Jax with Matt Hoffner

    We sit down with Matt Hoffner ahead of his SMRP session in Raleigh (Sept 28–Oct 1; use code CMMSRADIO for 10% off). On Sept 29 (2:45–3:45 p.m. ET, room 302 AB) Matt delivers “Driving Reliability Through Lubrication Excellence: The OC JAX Story.”We discuss what started as a stubborn failure pattern, the certifications and process shifts that followed, why the obvious “fix” wasn’t the full answer, and how one simple move with technicians unlocked faster progress, real ownership, and unexpected training insights. Culture, buy-in, and closing the loop take center stage along with how the same approach is now spreading to other reliability efforts and changing day-to-day relationships on the floor. Get yourself to the SMRP Annual Conference, happening September 28 - October 1, 2026 in Raleigh, NC and save 10% with code CMMSRADIO here: https://smrp.org/events/annual-conference/

    Maintenance is the Blood that Powers Machine Empires

    CMMSradio hosts Joe Caetano and Stephan Schomberg of Elevotec ahead of the 2026 SMRP Conference in Raleigh (Elevotec platinum sponsor, booth 1202; use code CMMSRADIO for 10% off). We must shift from measuring maintenance costs to focusing on reliability and cost avoidance!Use sensor data and machine facts to prevent failures and extend asset life. Use targeted (not overdone) sensing on critical assets and 3D visualization/CAD models integrated into EAM systems (like Octave) for faster, mobile-friendly insights on assets such as bridges or precision equipment. Elevotec supports Octave and eMaint options. Remember, maintenance is the “blood” of the organization; sustained reliability programs deliver real bottom-line value.

    Talking CMMS Maintenance and Asset Management with Gary Jones of ELECO

    Gary Jones, Senior Sales Manager at Eleco (PMAC & Shire), draws on 30 years in the CMMS/EAM world to explain why so many digital maintenance projects fail.Main points:Most organizations buy on “shiny thing syndrome” and emotional pain points instead of clear, quantified business outcomes.Buyers rarely prepare properly — they lack documented requirements and don’t involve all stakeholders before talking to vendors.Overbuying is far more common than underbuying. Companies end up with complicated systems they never fully use.Honest maintenance maturity assessment is critical. Match the tool to where you actually are, not where a salesperson says you should be in five years.Implementation and change management are just as important as selection. Poor preparation in the buying phase usually leads to poor adoption later.Relying on a single champion is risky. Successful projects need multiple champions across departments.The industry is slowly shifting from treating CMMS as a compliance checkbox to using it for real operational value, but the skilled trades shortage remains a major ongoing concern.Bottom line from Gary:The software is rarely the real problem. People, process, preparation, and culture decide whether a CMMS succeeds or becomes another expensive failure.
