This could make huge contributions to enhancing reliability and lowering maintenance and spare parts costs.  Nagi Gebraeel, an assistant professor at GEORGIA TECH, has developed models that use data from real-time sensor measurements to calculate and continuously revise remaining useful life of various systems and components based on their current condition. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/rfdesign.com\/military_defense_electronics\/news\/lead-story\/lower_maintenance_costs_1022\/\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/rfdesign.com\/military_defense_electronics\/news\/lead-story\/lower_maintenance_costs_1022\/\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27279","created_gmt":"2008-10-22 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:06:29","author":"Barbara Christopher","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2008-10-22T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2008-10-22T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"57458","name":"ISyE External News"}],"categories":[{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"}],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EBarbara Christopher\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIndustrial and Systems Engineering\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=bt3\u0022\u003EContact Barbara Christopher\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404.385.3102\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["bchristopher@isye.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
