Abstract:
A system for executing a lubrication plan including a grease meter for measuring a volumetric flow of grease through the meter. The grease meter having a memory for storing a set of instructions that includes a series of prescribed grease volumes be delivered at a corresponding series of lubrication points, a memory for storing a volume of grease delivered at a particular lubrication point and is configured to communicate with the display device. A display device includes a memory for storing an image of each lubrication point in the series, each image being a photograph of the machine that has the lubrication point. The machine is configured to display each image along with the prescribed grease volume to be delivered at the corresponding lubrication point. The displayed image of a further lubrication point in the series image is triggered by the grease meter when a delivered volume is stored.
