The Future of Ultrasound | QuickChat with UE Systems
Aug. 22, 2025
Ultrasound technology excels at detecting friction, turbulence, and early signs of equipment failure that are inaudible to the human ear, offering a powerful way to monitor asset health. Maintenance teams may struggle to understand how ultrasound fits with existing tools like vibration analysis or oil sampling, and how to best integrate these insights for proactive decision-making.
Blair Fraser, Vice President of Technology at UE Systems, joins Plant Services Editor in Chief Thomas Wilk to unpack how ultrasound complements other predictive maintenance technologies and what role the ultrasound community may play in the future.
