How do you perform the initial rollout and configuration ? Does someone have to manually associate the RFID with the specific zerk and machine and set up a maintenance schedule? How do you handle machines where greasing is a function of hours of operation and not wall clock time ?
- SteveGreaseBoss 6y agoGreat questions For roll out, we try to upload the data into the GreaseCloud before going to site, then we have someone manually fit each tag to each zerk, they then use the head unit to read the code and map it into the GreaseCloud. Once it is in the grease cloud we can set the grease volume, grease interval, etc For the timing, we have a function to set the operating timetable of each machine - most plants this is 24/7, however some are M-F 9-5. The intervals are calculated relative to the operating timetable of the machine. Machines can be "paused" if they are tagged out of production.
- dkhenry 6y agoThis whole thing is a brilliant idea. The Navy has a ton of people working on planned maintenance [1], and anything that could improve reliability is worth its weight in gold. I know you mentioned ships already for grease, but just thinking of how many things need maintenance and how nice it would be if you could have a system that ensured it was all done. Please attach RFID's to filters to ensure they get swapped out! 1. https://www.navsea.navy.mil/Home/Team-Ships/PEO-Ships/Support-Ships-Boats-and-Craft/Boats-and-Craft/Planned-Maintenance/ https://www.navsea.navy.mil/Home/Team-Ships/PEO-Ships/Suppor...
