   Hi Leif, Haha i know what you mean in terms of the most hellish places on earth. Last month, we went 300m into an underground mine and that is not a place you want to be spending too much time.. haha Very interesting use case and yes, the

   That is so true about a plant needing its own nervous system. It would be great to speak to you further on this to get your thoughts on what implementation style would work best. my email is tim@greaseboss.com.au if you're open for a c

   Yes, these auto lubricators are widespread and a competitor to our current product. That being said, these auto lubricator do have their downsides and our customers have been very open about these. One of our customers is using GreaseBos

   Thanks Nathanael, Yes, tech adoption is a risk and something that we are trying very hard to address. Our strategy is to keep the tool & system as simple as possible. Our head unit has no buttons, only a screen and a charge port and i

   Yes, we are aware that big manufacturers are starting to roll out lots of telemetry into their equipment. i've only seen the greasing angle addressed by manufacturers on mobile equipment (bulldozers etc) The problem with these platform

    Ah right.. I see your angle. Yes, it is something that we have looked into. This is our first product into the space and we anticipate many iterations and many more to come ;)

    I understand your concerns. We are running trials with numerous companies (large and small) right now so that we can develop case studies to understand and communicate the ROI of the system. The pricing of GreaseBoss is positioned to be l

    Yes, precisely. In many industries, like mining, when a piece of equipment fails a root cause analysis is performed to identify the reason for failure. Incorrect greasing is a huge contributor to this. One of the world's largest bea

    Thanks for the feedback. In answer to your comments: Each tag that is fit under the zerk is small and cheap, installed just like a washer. They cost about $2.50 USD and once fitted, should last a long time. The expensive equipment is lo

    Hi Jeff, Also on your comment, what we've seen on a number of sites is that they do have a good maintenance team but sometimes jobs just get missed. If there is a series of equipment failures that draw the team's attention toward

    Thanks Tyler. Your line of work seems interesting. We are probably not there just yet but in 6 months or so, it would be interesting to see how we could extract more value out of the data we're receiving. What is the name of your co

    Thanks! Yes, i've been speaking to some guys in the oil and gas sector and one of them told me that greasing valves in that environment is a process safety concern as the grease assists the valve to seal and prevent gas leaks. We will

    Haha yes, the industrial cloud is definitely a thing.. We faced challenges with getting such a system to be "industry ready" on the shoestring budget that we started with and hence our very first prototype that went into industry

    Hi Sean, Yes, we have a Milwaukee grease gun with the measured output. What our system has shown is that their "measurement" is not perfectly accurate all the time. The biggest factor is the human performing the greasing remember

    Hi Cash, Yes, our system ensures that the correct grease is used and that the correct amount is applied at the right time. I heard a story from a nearby power plant the other day of the incorrect grease being applied to a bearing. The two

    Hi Alan, We've been working with people from both end of the spectrum (on the tools and in the office). I completely agree that the system may not have any appeal for the guys on the tools who don't give a shit. There are defini

    Thanks. Yeah it can be a real eye opener when you step onto a large industrial site and once you get a look under the covers, see that the systems and processes around something so simple are in complete shambles. It appears that everyon
