Realizing a condition-based lubrication program. Contributing to the early detection of lubrication failures and reducing the burden of lubrication tasks.

"ONTRAK SmartLube" is a system that remotely monitors the lubrication condition of bearings and provides appropriate grease supply when a shortage is detected. Through ultrasonic diagnostics, it notifies users of signs of lubrication failure via a browser and initiates remote greasing upon receiving the instruction. It automatically stops the greasing when it determines the appropriate amount based on the ultrasonic level, preventing overfilling of grease. This system addresses lubrication issues, which account for many early bearing failures, contributing to the longevity of equipment and bearings, as well as reducing the burden and cost of greasing tasks. 【Features】 - Grease levels and friction amounts at the start and end of greasing can be checked via smartphone or PC. - Measurement data is stored on a cloud server. - Extensive network options (Ethernet/Wi-Fi/SIM). - Suitable for motors, pumps, compressors, fans, blowers, conveyors, and more. - Contributes to improved plant reliability and cost reduction. *For more details, please refer to the materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

Bearing monitoring system utilizing IIoT technology. Real-time measurements allow for checking lubrication conditions on any device.

"On Trak" detects early failures of bearings and provides real-time alerts. It is designed to be simple and scalable, particularly aimed at preventing lubrication issues in bearings before they occur. Furthermore, it consolidates 16 sensors into a single unit, achieving a compactness that is unprecedented compared to traditional products. Using Wi-Fi, SIM, and Ethernet, it can display equipment and sensor data in real-time through any device (smartphone, tablet, laptop, etc.). Additionally, it has built-in support for REST API calls via HTTP (or HTTPS), making it easy to send data to platforms such as IBM Watson, Microsoft Azure, AWS, PTC Thingworx, and others. 【Features】 ■ Real-time alert functionality ■ Real-time dashboard ■ Monitor bearing conditions from the office ■ Integration with cloud and on-premise applications ■ Maintenance-free ■ Ethernet/Wi-Fi/SIM compatible

[Instructor] Shintaro Fukasawa, President of BM Consulting Co., Ltd. Business Mathematics Educator [Key Lecture Content] There are things we somewhat think about. However, when asked for our opinions, we hesitate to speak up because we dread being questioned with "What is your basis?" This is a growing issue among business professionals. Shintaro Fukasawa, the only advocate of business mathematics in Japan and a business mathematics educator, identifies the inability of modern business people to articulate their thoughts and ideas as a "symptom." He finds commonalities between mathematical thinking and verbalization, and has developed a verbalization framework that anyone can easily practice. This content has been compiled into a book titled "How Can an Idea Become 'My Opinion'? - A Class to Turn Intuition into Logical Opinions" (2023). In this session, we will extract the essence of that book and explain how to create "logical and communicative opinions." You will take home tips that will dramatically change your business communication starting tomorrow.
