If you work in the industrial sector, you know how essential lubricants are for the proper functioning of machines and gears. Jock/Woerner Lubrication Systems now brings to light the importance of equipment for industrial lubrication.
These materials are used to apply lubricants to the components of industrial machines and equipment, in order to reduce friction between moving parts, dissipate heat, protect against corrosion and eliminate impurities.
Furthermore, we are currently going through the 4th Industrial Revolution and the implementation of the industry 4.0 concept which has unfolded into many other concepts that encompass innovations in software, robots, artificial intelligence and with regard to lubricants, the market has agreed to call it lubrication 4.0 .
Lubrication 4.0 is the use of technology and data to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of lubrication.
It includes the use of sensors, software and analytics to collect data on the health of equipment and the condition of lubricants. This data can be used to identify potential failures, optimize lubrication intervals and improve equipment life, as well as protect employees from unsanitary conditions. However, with the use of technology to preserve machines, it is possible to have financial benefits and a competitive advantage in relation to its competitors.
According to the TechTudo website, lubrication 4.0 means that the systems are all connected, allowing the identification of the ideal moment to change oil or parts, without the need for human interference. Therefore, the data collected serves to identify the useful life of the lubricant and parts.
Lubrication 4.0 is the future. It is necessary to change the way lubrication is performed and seen by operators, making it essential to help their work.
