Advanced Machine Reliability Resources (AMRRI) and Generation Systems Inc. (GSI), creator of Lube-It management software, two of the most respected names in machine lubrication management, are combining forces to create a best-in-class offering to support asset health and machine reliability for Fortune 1000 manufacturers.
Lube-It is a multi-year nominee and previous winner of the ¡®Product of the Year¡¯ work practices management software and the most widely used lubrication management system in existence. AMRRI has created proprietary methods for customizing the machine lubrication ¡®care and feeding¡¯ plan based on machine criticality and working conditions. Those methods produce Reliability Centered Precision Lubrication work practices. Since its founding, AMRRI has deployed customers¡¯ work plans through the award-winning Lube-It software management program.
¡°Bringing together precision work practices development with a superior work management system is a hand-in-glove strategic fit,¡± said Mike Johnson, founder of AMRRI and president of both companies. ¡°We are just starting to realize the synergies that will provide new capabilities and cost-saving innovations to our customers. We¡¯re working on a host of advanced features that will greatly enhance work management capabilities and simplify the life of every maintenance manager who chooses this platform,¡± Johnson continued.
Each element of the machine lubrication plan represents a separately populated field. Fields are seamlessly combined to provide a management platform with a comprehensive, yet flexible scheduling interface, that organizes thousands of tasks within seconds of initiating a new weekly plan.
¡°We have a strategic initiative to build on our lubrication engineering functionality and add a healthy dose of lubricant-based condition monitoring expertise, into a future web-based Lube-It version 6.0 SaaS application,¡± Johnson said. ¡°We see this platform as the innovation breakthrough that will bring daily essential machine care into the growing ¡®Industrial Internet of Things¡¯ (IIOT) vision and will revolutionize the way we leverage digital technology to manage and measure machine health.¡±
