Want It Now? Oil Analysis with World Wide Data Reporting, All Within 5 Minutes.

By BRETT WINBERG

In the spirit of education and emerging trends, one must look at useful tools that increase reliability by getting results to key personnel in record time.

One such tool that is beginning to arouse more and more interest from maintenance organizations of all sizes is true on-site oil analysis. Does this type of oil analysis really exist? And more importantly, is it something that may just fill the missing ‘link’ in your maintenance department?

Since shipping of oil samples across town or across the country is costing more due to increases being passed along from unstable fuel pricing as well as other economic factors… not to mention the time it takes to receive the results back on your desk, all the while as your equipment may be at risk due to abnormal or critical conditions, it bears taking a look at how to get this process done faster and more efficiently by getting the results, NOW!

It can become a tremendous competitive advantage to you, only if… you are open to emerging trends in the capabilities of on-site oil and fluid analysis. As we always focus on staying vendor neutral, we just don’t know of any other ‘tool’ out there that quite does what you’re about to learn of. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage, because you’re about to expand the horizons of your mind, read on…

The OSA-II “On Site Analysis” Lab is a very impressive piece of equipment. It’s testing options for sampling diesel engines, differentials, gearboxes, gasoline engines and more are part of its unique design. The OSA-II self contained unit weighs in at only 155 lbs. (72 Kg), making it easy to move and transport the OSA-II lab for many applications including mining, transportation, industrial, transit, fleet, oil and gas and more.

With the option of a printed report of the sample results, delivered in your hot little hands within 5 or 6 minutes… On-Site Analysis offers a real-time added value and peace of mind that can’t be matched when waiting days or even weeks for your much needed results. The company even offers the option (highly recommended) of these reports and equipment records online… in a friendly web-based format which you can access with your own login and password to view reports, instantly email results anywhere, build trending graphs and charts, view equipment conditions, download your data, run custom management reports, print labels, re-order supplies and more.

For the last 5 years and in its second generation… the OSA-II lab has made great improvements and strides in its ability to grow with the demanding needs of today’s oil analysis market with optional particle counts and extended metals testing.

This online collaboration approach in near real-time combined with the power and flexibility of the OSA-II is extremely enticing indeed… and it’s very affordable! Tools of this magnitude can be the difference between success and insolvency, between downtime and production. It could well be the new organizational excellence system you may have been looking for to stay competitive and thrive in today’s market place.

How do companies and organizations leverage tools of this nature into a competitive advantage? Most companies start by understanding their maintenance programs and the needs of their business. A team of qualified personnel should have goals set in their program to reduce downtime, keep machinery hygiene at its best, keep lubricant cost at a minimum and make sure their program is environmentally safe.

With online, instant and accurate oil analysis results on your side… your company can validate warranty options at a touch of a key, and have the results back or redistributed in a jiffy, before catastrophic failures occur. Generating second opinions from your team now becomes an automated process, if desired, on every analysis report and much more.

Combining on-site oil analysis and web based reporting is designed to help organize scheduling and ordering of oil sampling supplies as well as saving time by having electronic filing of up to 500,000 samples at your access 24/7 for quick identification of at risk equipment components.

Sometimes, it is easy to give up on maintenance when problems and losses occur during regular scheduled intervals… even worse some members of your team begin pointing fingers unnecessarily questioning your whole program and its merits. This type of maintenance behavior causes your committed staff, to lose its focus of a proactive approach and slip into a black hole of high losses and long, tiring hours.

With pressures thrust upon them, production goes down. Implementing a fresh approach revitalizes the team with sample scheduling and instant results, while strengthening your maintenance program and growing confidence levels to new highs.

Return on investment can happen within 90 to 120 days, not years. Your implementation of these powerful tools will help with root cause programs and start your company down the yellow brick road to a condition based plan that could save thousands and more in the first year.
