CONNECTING BEYOND BOUNDARIES: Connected lubrication solutions for a new era of maintenance management
)
In today's industrial environments, the digitalisation of maintenance operations has become an operational imperative. As organisations increasingly prioritise efficiency, safety and cost reduction, intelligent lubrication solutions play an important role in transforming traditional maintenance practices into future-ready, connected processes.
perma CONNECT and perma STAR VARIO LONG RANGE embody this evolution, providing maintenance teams with robust, remote and connected lubrication solutions. The maintenance landscape has changed dramatically in recent years. Traditional manual routines are giving way to digital strategies that enable
- Increased equipment availability
- Improved workplace safety
- Improved data-driven decision making
- Optimised maintenance costs
Our connected lubrication systems are essential components of modern maintenance. At perma, we have developed comprehensive solutions that reduce downtime and lead to operational excellence.

perma CONNECT: A centralised platform for intelligent lubrication management
perma CONNECT serves as a digital command centre for lubrication activities. Designed to be accessible via smartphone, tablet or web interface, it provides a powerful range of functionalities to support intelligent maintenance strategies.
Key features and benefits
- Comprehensive system overview
Consolidate digital and non-digital lubrication data into a single, easy-to-use dashboard. - Remote configuration and control
Enable real-time adjustment and monitoring of lubrication points without requiring on-site presence. - Precision in relubrication calculations
Ensure optimal lubrication based on precise, system-specific parameters. - Installation guidance
Receive tailored recommendations for configuration and component selection based on operational conditions. - Automated documentation and proactive notifications
Maintain seamless, paperless records of all lubrication activities and receive alerts for critical maintenance tasks.
By transitioning from manual to centralised lubrication management, organisations benefit from improved time efficiency, better compliance, and increased equipment reliability.
Extending the range: perma STAR VARIO LONG RANGE with LoRa®WAN technology
The perma STAR VARIO LONG RANGE represents a significant advancement in remote lubrication management. By integrating the reliable LoRa®️WAN wireless communication technology, this system supports:
- Monitoring up to 2,000 lubrication points per Gateway LONG RANGE
- Effective communication over 2 km line-of-sight
These capabilities are particularly valuable in expansive facilities such as mining operations, steel production plants, large-scale manufacturing environments and more. The system provides:
- Scalable digital infrastructure
- Long-distance control and data feedback
- Predictive maintenance capabilities through reliable data collection
This not only overcomes logistical constraints, but also reduces manual intervention, improves safety and supports continuous operations across vast industrial landscapes.
