Generation Systems Unites Lubrication and Asset Management With LUBE-IT Software Release 5.3

Issaquah, WA, March 31, 2016 (Newswire.com) - ​Generation Systems, Inc., a leader in lubrication management software solutions, today announced the release of LUBE-IT 5.3, which delivers highly anticipated integration capabilities with enterprise asset management (EAM/CMMS) systems, and increases the reliability and effectiveness of industrial equipment lubrication programs.

Industrial assets are routinely managed through an EAM/CMMS software solution, but most of these solutions lack functionality specifically designed for the details and complexity of lubrication. Plants profit from proper lubrication and LUBE-IT software from Generation Systems because it significantly cuts reactive maintenance, brings control and compliance to lubrication through mobile computing, and dramatically increases employee efficiency and effectiveness.

"Integration is one of our customers' most-requested enhancement requests, and we've listened. Feature Upgrade 5.3 adds the core integration technology to LUBE-IT," said Generation Systems' President Eric Rasmusson. "Next, we will be releasing a series of plug-ins for specific EAM systems, starting with SAP, then Maximo, and so on," added Rasmusson.

The latest version includes enhancements to the many modules that comprise LUBE-IT’s unique design, and introduces an EAM/CMMS interface enabler to make lubrication programs more proactive. Integration will allow notification of problems identified using LUBE-IT to be transmitted to the EAM/CMMS system for action and close-out, and the results returned to LUBE-IT for complete record keeping.

"Integration is one of our customers’ most-requested enhancement requests, and we’ve listened. Feature Upgrade 5.3 adds the core integration technology to LUBE-IT," said Generation Systems’ President Eric Rasmusson. "Next, we will be releasing a series of plug-ins for specific EAM systems, starting with SAP, then Maximo, and so on," added Rasmusson.

"Improper lubrication accounts for more than 40% of failures in plants worldwide. With LUBE-IT at the core of a lubrication program, along with breathers, site glasses and proper lubricant handling procedures, manufacturing facilities can save as much as $500,000 a year or more," said Bill Correll, head of business development at Generation Systems.
