Brad Nanna with IRISS

Lee Murray hosts a podcast episode discussing Operator Driven Safety and Reliability (ODSR) with Brad Nanna, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for IRISS. ODSR empowers operators, who are closest to the equipment, to identify and address potential issues before they become problems, reducing downtime, costs, and risks. The approach combines elements of condition-based and preventive maintenance, emphasizing operator involvement over traditional maintenance programs. Training for ODSR includes safety protocols, environmental awareness, communication skills, and continuous process improvements. Resistance to ODSR stems from a shift in mindset and management practices. Safety devices are crucial for maintaining safety and reliability in ODSR.

When I was in elementary school, our teacher would show us films of industrial professionals making our lives better. For me, these films instilled the passion for industry.

Today, industry has come along way from when I was a boy. It is innovative and focused on solving problems. In short, it’s really cool and exciting.

We need to teach children, around the world, and bring back the “Cool” and “Exciting” and why industry is a wonderful profession. That means we need industrial professionals to re-instill this industrial passion.

This is the Purpose of Industrial Pop. It is an online learning management platform (LMP) dedicated to educating our youth in the ever expanding and innovative world of industry. We also provide this LMP for our teachers to share with their class.

These are very exciting times for industry and we must begin educating our future and it starts with you. If you are interested, please contact me at: https://industrialtalk.com/contact/ and just let me know that you are interested in positively impacting our future industry leaders.
