Make lubrication the quietest part of your week.
The demo is a fully stocked paper mill. Walk in and look around.
In most plants it still runs on whiteboards, memory, and a spreadsheet somebody updates when there is time. The gaps show up later, as failures.
Both leave the same trace on a paper round sheet, and the bearing is the first thing to tell you which was which.
Two similar drums, two different products, one night shift. Cross-contamination starts with a good-faith top-up.
One technician knows which points matter and which ones bite. When he takes a week off, the routine goes with him.
A shape and a color on the point and on the container, with a barcode that opens the exact record. Your crew sees the right product before the gun comes off the cart.
Points arrive in walking order on the tablet, with the quantity, the method, and the how-to at hand. Anything the shift leaves behind carries forward until it is finished.
Lab results and walk-around findings trend against your own limits, so a bearing on its way out shows up while there is still time to plan the repair.
A shape and a color on the point, the same shape and color on the container. One glance confirms the match, and the software catches the ones that disagree.
Points arrive in walking order, one screen at a time, with the quantity, the method, and the procedure right there. The tablet keeps the place, so the round survives interruptions.
Completion on every round, and the reason behind anything still open.
Your crew is already looking at seals, sight glasses, and foundations on every round. Capture those looks as checklist answers and the plant gets a trend it can act on.
The question the walk-around exists to answer, answered in one click.
Every point falling due, day by day, with the hours it carries. Level the peaks while they are still a plan, and hand each technician a day that fits inside a shift.
Thursday runs hot. Move two points and the week fits.
Lab results trend against alarm limits your engineers set. Water climbing in a gearbox appears as a line bending upward, long before it appears as vibration.
Spreadsheets and general maintenance software both handle part of this. Running the whole program takes all of it.
| What it takes to run the program | Spreadsheets | Maintenance software | Reliable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Point-level identity with tags and barcodes | - | - | |
| Due dates that wait for the work | - | - | |
| Walk-around findings you can count and trend | - | - | |
| Lab results trended against your alarm limits | - | partly | |
| One approved lubricant catalog across every plant | - | partly | |
| Workload leveled before it turns into a backlog | - | partly | |
| Catch-up rounds that collect whatever slipped | - | - |
