Burlington, Ontario, Canada (PRWeb) February 7, 2007 -- Bob O'Shaughnessy of the Avantis (www.avantis.net) unit of Invensys Process Systems will deliver a presentation at the 2007 Maintenance and Reliability Technology Summit (MARTS), to be held March 13-16 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont, IL.

Mr. O'Shaughnessy, Sales Director, Avantis, will speak on the topic "The Path to Asset Performance & Reliability," on March 15 at 1:30 p.m. His session presentation will provide an overview of an effective approach to Asset Performance Management (APM), including the challenge, the methodology, the processes, and the tools required to deliver the full potential of APM.

Asset Performance Management balances the availability and asset utilization together to drive business value. By using dynamic performance measures to determine the business value of assets and the true value that they generate, APM lets manufacturers optimize the business value without having to optimize availability or utilization independently.

The Maintenance & Reliability Technology Summit (MARTS) is the premier event for maintenance and reliability professionals and features technical and business sessions, workshops, and technical exhibits. Its mission is to provide a comprehensive training, educational, and professional development opportunity for maintenance and reliability technicians, engineers, supervisors, and managers in all industries and major facilities.

Invensys will demonstrate asset management solutions at Booth #22 in the exhibition at MARTS. For more information, please contact info (at) avantis.net.
