The Power Of Experience
From An Industry Leader
What sets LubePM apart from other lubrication-management systems? Noria’s 25-year knowledge base preloaded into an easy-to-use, cloud-based solution.
Why LubePM?
As a Lubrication Management System (LMS) engineered by lubrication professionals, LubePM helps an organization create accountability to ensure that every lubrication point is carefully maintained, inspected and measured.
Without the enabling resource of a full-scale LMS, plants are susceptible to faulty and incomplete lubrication.
A CMMS falls short because it:
- Does not provide the necessary depth for a modern precision maintenance program; and
- Does not provide adequate job planning, task management and inventory control
We need to stop relying on rigid CMMS structures that cannot serve lubrication requirements completely and with the necessary precision. An LMS like LubePM can provide the necessary information and programmatic features to enable lubrication to serve as a pillar of precision maintenance and world-class reliability.
Testimonials
“I am truly amazed at the functionality of LubePM and the site data that I now have at my fingertips. We have specific details on 893 assets with over 5,400 procedures. It is a one stop shop for any lubrication related question that comes my way and I have found myself using it for far more than lubrication. I can quickly and easily find temperatures, RPM’s, and even photos which allows me to spend more time answering the questions and less time researching. The hardware and lubricant change status feature allows me to know exactly where we stand in our improvement and consolidation initiatives and provides an excellent dashboard display that I can present to our stakeholders.”
Rotating Equipment Specialist, Cornerstone Chemical
“LubePM is a one stop shop to manage all your plant lubrication data. Up-to-date information and the most current equipment tasks are vital to your reliability and the LubePM can provide. Easy user-friendly interface and Noria is there to help if you need big changes. LubePM is a powerful spot to store all your lube program information and the perfect resource to direct your plant staff at when they need that specific bit of information. I look forward to future developments aimed at maximizing lubrication program efficiency and effectiveness.”
Senior Engineer, APS
“LubePM has been a very important and needed addition to our lubrication process. Before LubePM, we did not have a robust, documented lubrication process. It was mostly up to the employees to remember what and when things needed to be done. With Lube PM and the process of getting data into LubePM, we now have a sustainable and structured lubrication process. LubePM has been and will be instrumental in using the proper lubricants in the proper intervals. I highly recommend LubePM for dramatically improving your lubrication processes.”
Maintenance Planner/Scheduler, Woodgrain – Composites
“We reached out to Noria in 2020, noticing a need for help with our lubrication program. Noria came in and transformed not only our program but our way of thinking through support and trainings. I’ve spent most of my time working with Travis Richardson, Noria’s lubrication expert. The support we have had from Noria is like none I have received in the past with other contractors. Travis took my calls on vacation, after hours, and has been a huge help! Our original score was at a 14 (Deficient Implementation), and now with Noria’s support, it’s sitting at 74 (Basic Implementation). I do not doubt that we can get to 100% Implementation with continued support.”
Engineer – Reliability/Maintenance, Global Value Chain Operations, Royal Canin
“Prior to using LubePM, we had lubrication information spread out across multiple systems, spreadsheets on someone’s computer, or missing. After getting all our data in LubePM, we have all of our lubrication info in one spot. This has allowed us to fully understand the scope of our lubrication program and being able to instantly look up a lubricant or procedure has provided great value. I would strongly recommend LubePM to anyone managing a lubrication program.”

Get Lubrication Right
The rules of lubrication have changed. Ensuring that lubrication excellence becomes standard practice is foundational to machine reliability. This is where LubePM excels.
LubePM auto-generates tasks with step-by-step procedures and vital lubricant information, so you’ll never grab the wrong grease or miss an inspection point again. Once a task is complete, your work is documented and saved on the cloud-based system for your team to access anytime, anywhere. Consistent, well-executed lubrication tasks are essential to long-term plant operations and reliability.

Before and after LubePM
Why Lubrication is Not Manageable on a CMMS Alone
Lubrication tasks are sharply different from other maintenance and production tasks and work orders. Likewise, they are markedly different from work commonly administered and tracked by maintenance management systems or CMMS. While the CMMS is a powerful tool, there are several reasons why lubrication should exist outside the CMMS:
The number of tasks generated in a lubrication program
Lubrication has tasks that need to be completed daily (and sometimes even multiple times a day). A CMMS specializes in PMs that are done routinely but typically not at this level of periodicity. This results in too many tasks, leading to missed work from the CMMS.
A lack of critical lubrication information
The critical information needed to accurately lubricate a piece of equipment is seldom codified and associated with the CMMS asset list or hierarchy. This information might include detailed inspection points, the volume of lubricant, the type of lubricant, the proper procedure to lubricate the component and other pertinent data.
Hierarchy constraints
The hierarchy of CMMS constrains where lubrication tasks should be assigned. For many, the PM exists at the machine level, but realistically, the lubrication work occurs at the component/maintenance point level. A single machine could have hundreds of lube points, and inspection points toward which the CMMS provides no specificity.
Lubrication-centric metrics
Lubrication is a program, much like maintenance is a program. Most CMMSs allow for tracking metrics related to maintenance but are not specific or detailed enough to provide critical metrics for lubrication. This is a Deming problem: If we can’t observe it, we can’t improve.

Provide Asset Management Best Practices with LubePM
The phrase Lubrication Management System exists in ICML 55, the global standard from the International Council for Machinery Lubrication (ICML). Dozens of worldwide experts in lubrication, maintenance and reliability wrote this standard to achieve optimized lubrication of mechanical and physical assets.
The industry is focusing on reliability and sustainability initiatives, and to achieve these initiatives, people are looking at global standards such as ISO 55000 and ICML 55. LubePM is a conduit for achieving standards of asset management that focus on precision maintenance and reliability, thus ensuring the sustainable operation of a plant.
Asset management may involve physical assets such as equipment, human resource assets such as people, and knowledge assets such as documentation and training. All of these must be analyzed, and a management system put in place to ensure lubrication tasks are done consistently, accurately and completely.
