Manual greasing remains a critical yet inconsistently executed maintenance task in many industrial environments, often relying on operator memory, handwritten logs, and unverifiable routines. This leads to missed lubrication points, overgreasing, premature equipment failures, and inadequate compliance documentation.

In this presentation, Tim Hall, CEO of GreaseBoss, will show how smart manual lubrication systems are overcoming these longstanding challenges.

By integrating digital tools directly into lubrication workflows, organizations can capture real-time execution data at the point of use. These systems guide technicians with on-tool instructions, ensuring precise grease application while collecting data that supports traceability and compliance. This session highlights how digitised lubrication transforms a hidden, manual chore into a structured, measurable component of asset performance management—empowering maintenance teams to improve equipment reliability, validate work completion, and align lubrication practices with modern digital maintenance strategies.
