Survey & define
Map assets, lubrication points, approved quantities and intervals, available signals and recurring service gaps.
One application / Lubrication assurance
Lubrication status
is only the start.
Useful maintenance information leads to an action, an owner and a checked result.
Lubrication assurance is one application of Kinetic’s wider equipment, software and service approach. Connect suitable feedback with the work needed to understand and resolve an exception.
Discuss a maintenance gapThree different kinds of evidence
A command isn’t
proof of delivery.
A pump-running signal or manifold pressure alone does not prove that lubricant reached every bearing.
- 01
Commanded
The system requested a lubrication cycle.
Evidence of an instruction - 02
Observed
Available feedback indicates that the cycle occurred.
Evidence depends on the installed feedback - 03
Verified
Suitable point-level evidence or an approved inspection confirms delivery.
Verification applies to the points checked
The service workflow
Keep the work connected.
The equipment, feedback and team workflow determine the right implementation.
Connect & configure
Assess existing controls and suitable feedback. Add hardware where an identified information gap justifies it.
Investigate & act
Route supported exceptions. Record the inspection, refill, repair or unresolved issue with a responsible person.
Review & verify
Compare condition before and after the work under comparable operating conditions. Keep uncertain results visible.
A clear control scope
Configure the lubricator.
Respect the operation.
Where suitable, lubrication-device control can be separately configured and commissioned against site and equipment-manufacturer requirements.
- Approved lubricant, point map, quantities and service intervals
- Command acknowledgement, feedback coverage, low-level indications and fault response
- Authorized manual operation, site acceptance and documented responsibilities
- Defined behavior during communication or power loss and on restart
This does not grant authority over production-pump or transfer-pump settings. AI text does not change dosing recipes or authorize repeat dosing. Each control function must be demonstrated before inclusion in the customer scope. A completed task does not by itself prove equipment recovery.
Common questions
A practical service.
A defined scope.
Does this require replacing existing equipment?
The first step is to assess what is already installed. Suitable controllers, lubricators and data can be reused. Additional equipment is proposed where the scope justifies it; compatibility is confirmed during discovery.
Can you verify delivery to every lubrication point?
Only where suitable installed feedback or an approved inspection supports that conclusion. A cycle command, pump-running signal or manifold pressure is not universal proof of delivery. The service must make these distinctions clear.
Does Kinetic automatically change pump speed?
Core maintenance work leaves production and transfer-pump settings unchanged. Potential optimization is a separate, site-engineer-approved evaluation with the operator retaining control authority.
How are service terms established?
Terms are set around the actual equipment, integrations, installation work and agreed service coverage. Hardware, commissioning, consumables and field visits are identified in the proposal. There is no universal published price or fixed pilot duration.
A practical first step
Start with one useful question.
Bring one equipment group, a routine report, or a recent service event. We’ll help define a practical first phase.
