The essential function of the Oil Fluid Management Solution is the planning and evaluation of machine lubrication. The software plans individual lubrication tasks for each machine on the basis of lubrication rules for individual machines. Each day, the operators responsible for lubrication print the lubrication plan for individual machines. Thereafter, they make an inspection of these machines and refill the necessary amount of lubricant into each of them and note the used lubricant quantity into the printed plan. After returning to the computer, they record the quantity of the lubricant they used and the machines, into which they refilled the lubricant. This process is called manual data collection and entry. It can be automated by using the intelligent barcode reader with the installed Yamatec PocketOil program. The automated data acquisition improves the reliability of data entry, for it eliminates manual recording of data into the computer. At the same time, it increases the labour productivity, as the slow manual recording of data is replaced by their automated transfer from the barcode reader into the computer. The PocketOil program is an optional part of the Oil Fluid Management Solution. However, as it significantly increases the labour productivity, decreases the risk of failures and improves the convenience of users. Most customers cannot imagine data collection and their transfer in the computer without it. |
Yamatec PocketOil |
The operator has the barcode scanner with the running Yamatec PocketOil program conveniently at hand during the lubrication. After completing the lubrication, it reads the barcode of the lubrication point. The barcode scanner displays the related machine and its part and which lubricant is used there. Thereafter, the operator enters the lubrication task type (e.g. refilling or exchange) and the quantity of the used lubricant. This activity is to be done by the operator after each machine lubrication, whether planned or unplanned. |
After the tasks are completed on all machines, the operator returns to the computer and records all data on the executed tasks from the Yamatec PocketOil program of the barcode scanner in the Yamatec Oil program in the computer. After connecting the barcode scanner via a USB cable to the computer, the display shows the lubrication tasks recorded in the Yamatec Oil program. The user can check them and, thereafter, by pressing one button all data are transferred to the computer. |
By means of the barcode scanner and the Yamatec PocketOil program, you can collect data on other activities concerning the machine care, as well. You can enter data on the executed laboratory tests of lubricants (concentration, pH, conductivity, temperature), on the quantities of waste lubricants collected from machines or on the warehouse receipts, issues or inventories. All these data are recorded then in the Yamatec Oil program in the computer in a very simple, user-friendly way. |
