If you order something today, you'd rather have the goods delivered by tomorrow. Companies in all industries are put under enormous pressure by these expectations. Automation and smart warehouse and production technology (IoT) are intended to make processes faster, more reliable and more efficient, and are aimed at saving costs. But this works only as long as machines are running. Unfortunately, unforeseen failures do not make everyday production easier.
Does this seem familiar to you? But if so, do you also know that you can combat downtime with the help of precisely fitting specialty lubricants? Michael Marr, Head of Global General Machinery, gives an insight into how oils and greases from Klüber Lubrication contribute to making your intralogistics competitive and sustainable. Together with his international team, he is focused on meeting every challenge with a matching solution and to combat downtime, increase efficiency and reduce costs. With individual solutions for each branch of industry.
Michael, the worst case in intralogistics is an operational breakdown. How can high-performance lubricants help to make warehouse and production processes more reliable?
By minimising friction and wear for all types of components – such as gearboxes, chains, linear guides, rolling bearings, and so on. In this way, they prevent damage and the failure of equipment, vehicles or systems. Whether forklift trucks, assembly, transshipment or packaging station, paint shop, conveyor systems or stacker control units: Only if all components function reliably can the material flow continue unhindered and expensive interruptions to operations and unplanned repairs can be avoided.
