OLIPES Proactive Maintenance Plan

OLIPES will help you implementing a Proactive Maintenance Plan and establishing Absolute Alarms and Necessary Statistics. To do this
it relies on the experience of its highly qualified technical staff, on accumulated statistics and on the support of the main lubrication
analysis laboratories with whom it collaborates on a global level.
For the Program to be successful, proper selection of the systems or components to be monitored is essential, as is correct
establishment of limits and clean-up goals.
