Sensei OLEX Real-Time Lubrication

June 8, 2021
Sensei OLEX is a real-time lubrication system that is rated for use in hazardous locations.

Sensei OLEX is a real-time lubrication system that is rated for use in hazardous locations. Sensei is installed on industrial equipment to wirelessly transmit oil level and ambient air temperature to a customizable, web-based dashboard. As a result, users gain real-time input on equipment status and necessary maintenance requirements.

 

Sensei can:

  • Reduce inspection time from hours to minutes per week.
  • Reduce requirements for personnel to visit difficult or dangerous-to-access areas.
  • Help avoid downtime by providing alerts and warnings.
  • Enable organizations to operate more efficiently by performing proactive, data-driven maintenance

Sensei uses sensors that are designed to accompany Trico’s line of Opto-Matic Constant Level Oilers. Pumps, motors, gearboxes, fans, blower, and other equipment use constant level oilers to maintain a consistent fluid level.

 

Industrial applications include those in petrochemical, chemical processing, primary metals, pulp and paper, food and beverage, power generation, water management, mining, and other industries. Maintenance managers, directors of operations, facility managers, lubrication technicians, millwright, and reliability engineers in these industries stand to gain valuable insights from Sensei’s real-time monitoring capability.

 

The system includes three components:

  1. The Sensei Oil Leveling Device includes sensors to measure oil level, oil consumption, and ambient temperature.
  2. The Sensei Gateway securely receives data and transmits it to the cloud. Repeaters (as needed) allow expansion of the network up to 200 devices per gateway and up to 250 ft.
  3. Intelligence via an intuitive, web-based dashboard for real-time monitoring (there is no need to install software). The dashboard includes graphic displays of oil level and temperature by device, daily alerts, trending information, and more.
