Good lubrication maintenance and a well-structured lubrication schedule are essential conditions for a reliable production process, one that delivers maximum output with minimal failures and downtime.
However, in practice, working with a lubrication schedule often doesn’t yield the results it could, due to various operational circumstances. Yet achieving excellent results is absolutely possible.
For decades, Van Meeuwen Lubrication has been helping production companies in the Netherlands and Belgium implement customized lubrication maintenance programs and create tailored lubrication schedules.
Drawing on this extensive experience, the family-owned company from Weesp has developed its own lubrication maintenance software and app: S)MAXX.
In four clear steps, Rienk Minderman, Business Leader Software at Van Meeuwen, explains how customers are supported and fully relieved of the burden of lubrication management.
Step 1:
A Customized Lubrication Schedule “It’s rare that a machine manual perfectly describes the actual situation on the production floor,” Rienk begins. “You have to take into account specific operating conditions and requirements — for example, when food-safe lubrication is needed. Using the machine manuals as a starting point, we first create a theoretical lubrication schedule.”
Step 2:
Digging Two Levels Deeper “We go two levels deeper. Each machine component is mapped separately, with all related lubrication maintenance tasks underneath it. Our experts collect this information, identify improvement opportunities, and create a complete, tailor-made lubrication schedule.”
Dynamic Lubrication, Registration & Updates “One of the key focus areas in today’s maintenance management is having the right software and app for a digital and online lubrication schedule. That’s exactly why we developed our own lubrication maintenance software. Through the S)MAXX app, users always have access to the most current and complete overview of lubrication maintenance tasks — anytime, anywhere.”
