A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

Industrial Applications: How to Maintain High Performance

Well-known industrial applications include food processing and storage, manufacturing, chemical, petrochemical, and power plants. All of them are essential to the economy. Thus, the performance of the industrial sector reflects on the performance of the commercial sector, which includes supermarkets, hotels, condominiums, malls, or office buildings. Due to this close connection between industrial applications and the business environment, the talk about high performance is especially relevant.

How to reach high-performance standards in the industrial sector? This article introduces a few key ideas, so read on.

Use Highly Reliable Equipment and Tools 

An essential way to maintain high performance is to use reliable equipment and tools. Considering that many industrial operations are conducted in hostile environments, all the equipment and tools should function properly, regardless of the environmental factors. For example, using a compression load cell can contribute to a better performance of truck scales, large platform scales, or hopper scales. One reason is that this type of load cell is sealed, so it’s less vulnerable to environmental conditions. Moreover, a compression load cell is an ideal choice when space is limited.

Reliable and accurate tools and equipment are a stringent requirement in industrial applications, so companies should not underestimate the role of the equipment in their success. Investing in top-quality equipment can save costs in the long run.

Optimize Processes

In addition to equipment performance, process performance is also crucial in industrial applications. Because industrial applications include a significantly wide range of thermal conditions, weights, forces, capacities, and chemical conditions, process delays can have severe repercussions. Due to the challenges associated with industrial applications, taking shortcuts is never recommended because it can cause a project to fail and, consequently, result in significant unexpected costs.  However, it’s possible to improve process performance without raising risks. Detailed checklists, control systems, and detailed records of all processes can help maintain high performance.

Provide Personnel with Thorough Training

In general, industrial jobs are a lot more complicated than commercial jobs. You need to conduct many of the operations outdoors, which can raise some difficulties. Extreme temperatures and equipment failure are only two of the most common problems. To avoid issues in the workplace, providing personnel with comprehensive training regularly can be very helpful.

By their nature, industrial jobs are a lot more technical, so they require extremely specific skills. Project managers must ensure that all the employees feel confident they can accomplish the tasks assigned to them. Self-assessments are a good way to determine if the employees are confident in their skills. Importantly, human error can cause project failure. It can also affect personnel safety. Compared to the commercial sector, the stakes are higher in the industrial sector because projects are more complex. Plus, they consume a lot more resources. If the costs of the projects are higher, mistakes are also more costly.

Improve Personnel Protection

An excellent way to maintain high performance is to improve personnel protection. Employees perform better when they feel safe and protected. Taking all the necessary steps to improve safety in the workplace is critical in industrial projects where there are many risks involved. Having an impeccable safety record can help companies attract skilled and highly-performing employees. Whether you work with system operators, maintenance technicians, professional drivers, qualified electric workers, keeping them safe is critical for maintaining high-performance levels. However, it’s important to add that safety is not just the responsibility of the project manager or leader. The personnel should understand their role in ensuring safety for everyone by following safety protocols rigorously. The project manager should hold employees accountable for unsafe practices. Not using the safety gear or skipping a process to improve speed are good examples of unsafe practices to be avoided at all costs.

Key Takeaways

Industrial applications always involve extreme temperatures and massive loads. They’re thus dependent on environmental factors. This complexity makes it more challenging to maintain high performance because of the many variables involved. Naturally, the number of contractors able to bid on and complete industrial projects are lower. But the challenges of their work make them immensely valuable in the business hierarchy.

To improve or maintain performance in the industrial sectors, each company must use the best equipment or tools, optimize processes, and ensure that all employees are well-trained for the tasks they’re performing. Safety in the workplace is another critical element to consider. Due to the complexity of industrial applications, moving from commercial work to industrial work can be challenging. Although the two sectors use similar practices and materials, industrial applications involve additional challenges.

Performance and business success cannot exist without each other.  However, companies should adapt each measure meant to increase performance to the specifics of the sector and industry.
