Optimizing Robotics Maintenance: Mitigating Lubricant Supply-Chain Challenges

The widespread adoption of industrial robotics has revolutionized manufacturing processes across the globe. The efficiency and precision that robots bring to various industries are undeniable, but with great innovation comes great responsibility. Proper lubrication is a cornerstone of effective robotics maintenance, ensuring the equipment operates smoothly and efficiently. However, the supply chain challenges associated with sourcing robot grease have highlighted a critical issue that demands attention. If an organization cannot receive a timely shipment of the right grease, it may lead to undergreasing robots or using an unsuitable grease, both of which can accelerate wear and tear on critical parts, leading to premature breakdowns.
