IMRt Masterclass | How Greasing Data is Used to De-risk Operations

Thank you to those that joined us for the How Greasing Data is Being Used to De-risk Operations session we held with Tim Hall from GreaseBoss.

A Special Thank You​​

A big thank you to today’s presenter Tim Hall, for sharing his knowledge and expertise in modernising lubrication practices, helping our members explore how data-driven lubrication strategies can be applied within their operations.

Event Recap​​

In this session, we explored how organisations can transform traditional lubrication processes using real-time, data-driven visibility.

Key highlights included:

• The challenges of manual lubrication practices, including reliance on paper-based work orders, inconsistent execution, and lack of visibility across thousands of grease points.

• How capturing greasing data at the point of execution enables structured, verifiable tracking of maintenance activities.

• Real-world examples demonstrating how planned-vs-actual insights help reduce under-greasing, extend component life, and prevent costly unplanned downtime.

• The importance of identifying incompatible grease types early, allowing teams to intervene before failures occur.

• Reframing lubrication data as a core risk-control mechanism, rather than a secondary maintenance task.

The session reinforced how modern greasing data systems can significantly improve reliability, reduce operational risk, and drive measurable performance improvements across complex industrial environments.

A key concept to remember:
Small changes in visibility and execution can deliver significant long-term reliability gains.
