Predictive maintenance begins with understanding the root causes of failure. Through years of collaboration with industry leaders, we have seen that lubrication is one of the most critical factors in machine health. Studies show that more than 60 percent of bearing failures are caused by poor or improper lubrication. When lubrication problems go unnoticed, equipment life shortens, efficiency drops, and maintenance costs rise. Addressing lubrication directly gives companies a measurable advantage in performance and uptime.
To help manufacturers tackle these challenges, KCF Technologies has partnered with FUCHS Lubricants, the world’s largest independent lubricant supplier. FUCHS is known for innovation and invests heavily in research and development each year to improve industrial reliability. From the start, our teams aligned around a shared goal: helping manufacturers achieve world-class reliability through proactive, data-driven maintenance.
Over the past two and a half years, KCF and FUCHS have worked together to integrate our technologies and expertise. The result is a unified, comprehensive machine health platform that connects lubrication management with real-time monitoring and predictive analytics.
Instead of relying on separate systems for oil analysis, vibration data, and maintenance planning, manufacturers can now see everything in one place. The SMARTdiagnostics™ platform links lubrication insights directly to equipment performance, helping teams detect issues early, extend asset life, and reduce unplanned downtime.
