The expensive problem we solve
Billions of devices, some often mission critical, depend on manual greasing by machine operators. This century old manual lubrication process still has not been updated. Operators receive no lubrication feedback and no machine data, causing under- and over-lubrication. This is costing companies millions of dollars a year in downtime and repairs.
"Return on Uptime" (RoU) thanks to Grizit
Grizit provides a turnkey solution that uses IOT and data analysis to shoot this crucial process to the 21st century. By easily installing intelligent Grizit grease fittings and a Grizit grease pump extension, technicians and plant management get instant feedback from the machine in order to keep it in the best running condition possible.

Grizit Solution
Description
The intelligent grease fitting appears like a classic grease fitting but is equipped with electronics to provide a unique ID and a built-in temperature sensor to the fitting.
Any existing grease fitting can easily be replaced by our intelligent grease fitting.
Electronics
- Super strong- Miniaturized- Zero maintenance (no internal battery)
Description
The intelligent grease head allows real-time communication with the operator. By changing the colors in the transparent head, the operator is guided to perform in the most optimal way. Secondly, all activities are registered including machine data such as pressure and temperature.
Electronics
Makes the lubrication process smart by detecting and interacting on:- timestamp(s)- smart nipple ID- flow- pressure- temperature- GPS location (outside use)
Description
Plan, organise and stay on top of how and when lubrication activities have been performed. Create predictive insight in equipment status:
Organise
