This episode feature Travis Richardson discussing Noria's LubePM - A lubrication management system - and the intricacies of designing lubrication, and oil analyses, protocols in your plant environments. LubePM goes beyond the limits of CMMS platforms when it comes to next-level maintenance and reliability best practices and it allows for API utilization should you wish to get data from LubePM into your CMMS platform. What is the main problem LubePM solves? What factors go into assessing a plant environment and how does that contribute to the creation of lubrication routes? How does this data, from LubePM, translate into the KPIs management needs to see while also being easy for technicians to handle their workload the way they like to work? We discuss ReliablePlant - The ReliablePlant Conference takes place in Orlando, Florida July 31 - August 3, 2023.
