The present invention defines a method of executing a lubrication plan for lubricating a plurality of machines (M1, M2, M3, M4) with grease, where each machine comprises one or more lubrication points where grease can be delivered. The method comprises steps of: (i) defining a set of instructions for the lubrication plan, including at least a series of prescribed grease volumes V1, V2,... Vn to be delivered at a corresponding series of lubrication points L1, L2, Ln; (ii) generating an image of each lubrication point in the series, whereby each generated image comprises a photograph of the machine that has the lubrication point, including a visual indication of the location of that lubrication point on the machine; (iii) storing the set of instructions and each generated image in a system comprising a grease meter and a display device; (iv) displaying a generated image of a lubrication point on the display device, including the prescribed grease volume be delivered there; (v) delivering grease at that lubrication point via the grease meter, which measures and stores the delivered volume; (vi) displaying a generated image of a further lubrication point in the series, including the prescribed grease volume be delivered there, whereby the step of displaying (vi) is triggered by the storage of the delivered volume measured by the grease meter in step (v); and (vii) repeating steps (v) and (vi) until the grease meter has stored the delivered volume of grease for all of the lubrication points in the series. |
