Live Fortune 500 builds rugged, IP‑rated hardware with a glove‑friendly smart UI that captures bearing greasing events directly on the plant floor. By logging each tap and sensor data in real time, the system lets maintenance teams track grease usage, detect missed points, and simulate faults to prevent costly downtime. The solution is designed for harsh industrial environments where traditional tablets and paper checklists fail.

Problem
Manufacturers rely on manual, paper‑based bearing greasing checklists that are error‑prone and difficult to track in harsh plant environments. Missed or inconsistent greasing leads to unexpected bearing failures, causing costly downtime and inefficient maintenance scheduling.
Solution
Live Fortune 500 offers a rugged, IP‑rated hardware device with a capacitive touch UI designed for gloved operation on the plant floor. The device records each greasing event in real time, capturing the bearing identifier, canister used, and technician details. Data are logged instantly and can be aggregated to highlight missed greasing points and overall grease consumption. By providing precise, actionable maintenance data, the system enables a shift from reactive bearing repairs to proactive, data‑driven maintenance planning, reducing unplanned downtime and associated costs.
Target Audience
Primary customers are maintenance teams and reliability engineers at large manufacturing facilities, particularly in sectors such as automotive, pulp‑and‑paper, and heavy industry, that require precise bearing maintenance tracking.
