How FEA and Sensors Extend the Lifetime of Lifting Assets

About event

Olivier Baas, CEO of Villari, and Roman Samchuk, Head of Engineering at SDC Verifier, will share their knowledge and experience in identifying fatigue-prone areas, assessing repair options, and using engineering findings to guide sensor placement and long-term asset management. 

What you will learn

• Challenges in aging lifting assets: Learn about issues in maintenance costs, inspection demands, workforce shortages, and unexpected downtime. 
• Monitoring known cracks and repaired areas: How to track changes, reduce repeated site visits, and help plan maintenance interventions with sensors data. 
• Identifying critical areas with FEA: Explore how to identify fatigue-prone areas, assess remaining lifetime, and find repair solutions. 
• Planning targeted monitoring: How to use FEA results to guide sensor locations and monitor identified areas. 
• Managing assets with SDC SAM: Understand how to organize assessment results, inspections, and maintenance priorities to support budget planning and reduce OPEX. 
• Supporting lifecycle decisions: Get insights on how to connect structural assessment, monitoring, and maintenance to extend asset lifetime and inform repair or replacement decisions. 

Who should attend

This webinar is designed for structural and FEA engineers, asset integrity specialists, maintenance and reliability professionals, and asset managers responsible for the safety, maintenance, and long-term performance of lifting assets.
