A typical laboratory may include more than 20 different parameters in its measurement programme, whose significance will depend on the equipment being monitored, its application and the lubricants used.
Results therefore need to be recorded for each customer, for each customer site, for each item of equipment on that site, and for each sample taken from that equipment.
The QSI module maintains a tiered historical record for each piece of equipment and can monitor its condition against its own unique set of specifications.
Totally flexible specification handling means that the system can accommodate different rules for different customers, changes in plant operations and other variables.
Reports can be generated to show current and historical data in tabular or graphical form, highlighting any out-of-spec results together with engineers' comments and any recommendations for maintenance action.
In addition to the engineer's free text comments, predefined comments can be added to the report automatically when a parameter is outside specification limits, significantly speeding up sample processing.
Because this module is fully integrated with QSI's state-of-the-art WinLims, one Lims can provide data management for blending and refinery operations as well as for used oil analysis.
