Critical Point Monitoring

Eliminate premature pin and bush failure

CAT identifies insufficient lubrication as the #1 cause of pin and bush failures.  The Critical Point Monitoring solution verifies that pins receive the correct grease volumes to eliminate premature pin and bush failures from heavy mobile equipment fleets to maximise asset availability.

key benefits

Ensure critical pins and bushes receive the correct grease volume  

Verify planned vs actual grease delivery – every pump cycle 

The Critical Point Monitoring system conducts a digital balloon test with every pump cycle, verifying that automatic lubricators are performing and critical grease points are receiving the correct grease amount.  This visibility enables autolube systems to be set and tuned to meet OEM requirements, with certainty. 

Set and forget alerting ensures that when auto lube components such as pumps, injectors, distributors and hoses fail, your maintenance team is notified in near real-time to plan prescriptive maintenance. 

Detect blown hoses in high impact areas 

Never have a blown hose fail a bucket pin 

Installed downstream of injectors and distribtuors, the Endpoint MP2 monitors grease volume, temperature and grease line pressure. In addition to grease volume alerts, monitoring the grease line pressure enables the system to detect if a downstream hose has been blown and trigger alerts to maintenance teams. 

This additional monitoring is perfect for high impact areas such as bucket pins or areas where physical inspection is difficult such as slew bearings. 

Monitor overall autolube system health

Detect failures in the autolube system and the impact on critical points 

When multiple critical points within one automatic lubrication system are monitored, a regular, coherent pattern of grease delivery volume is evident.  Failures within the broader lubrication system, such as a bypassing injector on a non-critical point, have major effects across the entire system performance.  The Critical Point Monitoring solution can detect these abnormal, chaotic patterns to identify system issues, allowing maintenance teams to schedule automatic lubrication system maintenance. 

how this solution works

how it works

The Endpoints record the exact volume of grease that passes through them when the automatic lubrication pump fires.  This data is periodically synced (typically every hour) to the nearby Gateway, via Bluetooth. 

The Gateway syncs with all Endpoints in the vicinity (typical range is between 50m – 250m, depending on the environment).  This Endpoint data is synced to the GreaseBoss Cloud via the configured network backhaul (typically 4G/LTE SIM, site wifi or site OT network). 

The Greaseboss Cloud compares the planned vs actual greasing and triggers automatic alerts to maintenance teams if there is an issue with the automatic lubrication system.

PRODUCT

Endpoint MP2 

The Endpoint MP2 is a first-in-class device that guarantees precise grease flow to critical points, detects hose and line breakages, and monitors injector conditions in heavy mobile equipment with injector-based lubrication systems. This ensures optimal grease delivery to each injection point and preventing grease-related mobile equipment failures.

PRODUCT

Endpoint LF/HF

Endpoint LF (low flow) and HF (high flow) are rugged, wireless, battery-powered flow meters that accurately measure grease volume in automatic lubrication systems. The Endpoint LF models install downstream of injectors and distributors to monitor critical points, while the Endpoint HF model is designed for trunk line monitoring for less critical/more cost-effective injector bank monitoring and for use in high-viscosity fluids like open gear lubricants — delivering precise flow data in the harshest industrial environments.

PRODUCT

Endpoint BF

The Endpoint BF (Bulk Flow) are scaled up Endpoints, designed to monitor lube pump performance and grease tank filling.  Capable of handling high flow rates, the Endpoint BF can also measure directional flow, recording how much grease is pumped into a lube system during pressurisation as well as how much grease flows back through the dump valve into the grease tank during system venting.  This visibility provides world leading auto lube pump and holistic system monitoring for critical assets.

Frequently Asked questions

see our faqs

Our operations are remote. If no access to 4G system are there alternative communication options?

Yes. The Gateway can be configured to use site WI-FI network or connected via LAN directly into the site OT network where the data is processed on an on-site server then forwarded to the GreaseBoss Cloud. 

The GreaseBoss team will work with our customers to set up the most suitable backhaul option for client’s requirements. 

How does my grease event data get to the GreaseBoss Cloud?

The data is synced from the devices to the Gateway via Bluetooth. The Gateway then forwards data to the GreaseBoss Cloud using the configured connectivity backhaul option. 

Can I use my site wi-fi to connect to the GreaseBoss Cloud?

Yes, the GreaseBoss team will work with your site IT/OT team to use existing WI-FI networks to connect to the GreaseBoss Cloud. 

Can I install or do I need a qualified GreaseBoss installer?

The system can be easily installed by customers with remote support from the GreaseBoss team but we do offer installation services directly with our Certified GreaseBoss installers to provide high–quality turnkey solutions to our customers. 

What training and onboarding do I get from GreaseBoss?

The GreaseBoss onboarding process is comprehensive and assists to set up the correct lubrication data in the GreaseBoss Cloud, and to prepare the site for installation, commissioning, and on-going operations.  

GreaseBoss offers comprehensive training to customer teams in the field for installation, commissioning and hardware use, training for the office team on how to use the GreaseBoss Cloud, and how to interpret the reports & alerts.
