SKF extend Enlight ProCollect capability

SKF lubrication management

Latest version helps organizations improve lubrication management by planning detailed manual lubrication routines

SKF have extended the capability of their Enlight ProCollect portable data-collection system, allowing maintenance engineers to plan lubrication routes around a manufacturing or process operation, with the potential to increase uptime and reduce costs.

Enlight ProCollect is a portable condition-based monitoring system that helps companies adopt digitalization within their maintenance approach. The new functionality, made possible by an update to the SKF ProCollect app, helps users collect vibration data and carry out re-lubrication simultaneously.

 

‘This is a significant step towards integrating condition-monitoring and lubrication data,’ explained Barrie Rodgers, product line manager for mobile solutions at SKF. ‘The extended scope of Enlight ProCollect allows users to create, schedule and carry out lubrication routes more effectively.’

When creating lubrication routes, maintenance managers can define the correct lubricant, amount, location and interval in advance. They can also document specific assets and their lubrication demands, via a web-based cloud portal called SKF Enlight Centre. In this way, lubrication routes can be assigned to individual maintenance staff.

Technicians are alerted when each route is due, and the mobile app guides them through the correct lubrication routine. Lubrication data is entered directly into the app and automatically uploaded to allow documentation to be instantly completed and subsequent analysis of factors such as route verification and task trends. 

This approach helps companies make better-informed decisions while giving maintenance managers peace of mind. They know instantly that a lubrication route has been completed correctly and on-schedule, with greater visibility of overall maintenance activities, route status, team performance and asset health. 

The latest version of the SKF ProCollect app, which extends its capability to lubrication management, is now available on the App Store.
