New Lubrication Management Software from Dow Corning Helps Reduce Cost & Time

02-Aug-2002

MIDLAND, MICH (Aug. 1, 2002) - A new software solution that allows for complete automation of the lubrication management process is now available from Dow Corning as support for its Molykote® Lubrication Management Program.

The company says that SurveyViewTM and Lube-ItTM lubrication management software comprise the most complete, user-friendly software available that is designed specifically for industrial lubrication management rather than general plant maintenance routines. The state-of-the-art software can track, schedule, and plan routes for thousands of lubrication operations in manufacturing and industrial plant sites to ensure accurate, cost-effective maintenance. Savings result from new efficiencies in time management as well as information to help minimize lubricant inventories and human error that can cause wasteful lubrication maintenance emergencies. As a result, the lubrication management software helps extend equipment life and service intervals while reducing overall costs associated with lubrication and equipment life cycles.

"We added this software to our Molykote® Lubrication Management Program as a way to help customers equip themselves to better respond to the trend towards consolidation of manufacturing facilities and today's increasingly wide range of equipment types and ages," says Jim Stutelberg, Molykote Channel Manager.

"Individual equipment requirements, lubricant types, and correct timing and methods for lubrication add up to thousands of operations that are increasingly difficult to control and track by manual means. Attrition and turnover of staff compound the problem, as new personnel must be brought up to speed on equipment and fluids that may be unfamiliar to them," he explains.
