Message: [QUOTE="agilemicrosys, post: 6219, member: 752"] Anyone passionate about creating a world-class lubrication program realizes that ultrasound technology is the best tool for executing the replenishment task with precision. But which ultrasound instrument works best? Which features are truly game-changers? What should a program leader look for when procuring an expert ultrasound lubrication solution? [IMG alt="LUBExpert"]https://www.agilemicrosys.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/b2ap3_thumbnail_2019-11-04-P01-post.jpg[/IMG] Social media is alive with discussions about the virtues of scheduling lube intervals on the basis of asset condition rather than a set number of running hours. There is no shortage of webinars to watch on the subject either. Program leaders now realize that complicated formulae used in antiquated time-based systems, which rely on best-guess data inputs, do not provide the correct scheduling interval outcomes. The days of adding a few extra “feel-good” pumps from the grease gun are over. Lubricators need discipline and control in their work. Ultrasonic lube regimens use careful science to calculate both replenishment interval and grease quantity. Lube techs who do not follow the recipe prescribed must now explain their decision making to the lube log. SDT’s chief implementor and LUBExpert guru Haris Trobradovič says, [I]“The lubrication chain fails when fine fibers around them are missing. Those include awareness, ownership, communication, discipline, control, responsibility, and recognition.”[/I] Before you purchase an ultrasound lubrication solution, be sure the instrument, software, and solution provider are fully capable and competent to overcome these important, human traits. You don’t need another gadget; you need a strategy. [HEADING=2]Lubrication Success Formula: Instrument + Strategy = Solution[/HEADING] To guide you, we overview the key features that differentiate SDT’s LUBExpert solution from other devices offered in the market. You are encouraged to do your due diligence and, as always, we are here to help you Hear More if you have any questions. [HEADING=2]Reasons to choose LUBExpert over the Grease Caddy[/HEADING] [LIST=1] [*]Guided Mode – When lube techs choose “Guided-Mode” operation they receive step-by-step advice from LUBExpert’s onboard intelligence. This AI is the result of learning which stems from greasing thousands of bearings. Based on the physical parameters of the asset, Guided-Mode advises you each step of the task while providing live feedback about the impact your efforts made on the bearing’s greasing mechanism. Every instruction is provided based on real-time measurements. Guidance is based on LUBExpert’s continuous assessment of the bearing’s response to added grease. [*]Onboard Instructor – A virtual coach lives inside each LUBExpert system. Your first interaction with this mentor may be in a physical or virtual classroom but they follow with you forever. The algorithm inside LUBExpert is like having your trainer with you all the time, prompting, and reassuring you what to do next. All decision making is based on the real-time condition of the bearing and the effect adding grease made; positive or negative. [*]Grease Gun Database – LUBExpert and its supporting software UAS2 maintain a database of all your grease guns. It knows how many you have, the name you use to distinguish them from each other, as well as their capabilities. LUBExpert remembers the quantity of grease injected per stroke for every grease gun in your closet. [*]Lube Database – We all know that mixing incompatible greases is a big no-no, yet it happens all the time. UAS2 supporting software knows which grease to use with which bearing. LUBExpert reminds you at the start of every grease replenishment task to ensure the right grease is reaching the right bearing. [*]Sensor Control – On-condition lubrication is a precision task requiring precise procedures. It is critical that the same sensor type is used for repeating tasks such as bearing grease replenishment. With LUBExpert there is only one sensor type for this task, and it’s called LUBESense. Lube technicians are prevented from accidentally using the wrong sensor, and LUBExpert even remembers the serial number of the sensor and stores it with every reading.
