      Can Machine Sentry® be used for lubrication activities?

      Details on how lubrication related tasks can be setup and used in the platform.

      Good lubrication management is a key part to any effective maintenance strategy. Machine Sentry® provides the flexibility to integrate lubrication management activities along with other condition monitoring data.

      Here is a useful list of what is possible regarding lubrication in Machine Sentry®:

      • Schedule lubrication tasks down to lubrication point level

      • Set lubricant quantity at individual lubrication point level

      • Set lubricant manufacturer, type and grade at individual lubrication point level

      • Customisable alarms to show when task is overdue/coming due

      • Customisable alarms to show over and under lubrication

      • Lubricant usage down to point level tracked and trended

      • Lubrication ultrasonic readings stored, tracked and trended

      • Lubricant tasks assigned to specific individuals

      • Reports for lubricant usage, schedule compliance, action notes, asset details, etc.

      • Image of component for ease of identification – tablet and web

      • Site/area schematic available to user to assist in locating an asset – tablet and web

      • Paperless system – Android™ device/web based

      • Barcode/RFID identification (takes you straight to the asset to be lubricated) 

      • Oil analysis data imported direct to the asset – no separate database

      • Oil analysis alarms customisable within the database, and trended

      • KPI information for schedule compliance and asset health

      • Asset and component details such as Gearbox manufacturer, type, speed, bearing details, etc. stored at component level
