AI LubeMatrix — Autonomous Grease Dosing

AI LubeMatrix is TCM’s autonomous grease dosing system, applying lubricant based on real equipment conditions to prevent under- and over-greasing. TCM supplies, installs, and supports it across Mississauga and the GTA.

How It Works

How AI LubeMatrix Works

Traditional greasing relies on a fixed schedule — every so many days, regardless of how the equipment is actually performing. AI LubeMatrix replaces that guesswork with a condition-based approach:

Condition input

Sensors on the equipment track bearing friction and lubrication condition as it happens.

Dosing decision

The system works out how much grease is actually needed, instead of applying a fixed amount on a fixed timer.

Automatic application

Grease is dispensed directly to the bearing without a technician needing to visit the equipment.

Ongoing visibility

Dosing activity and equipment status can be checked centrally, so your team always knows what’s been applied and when.

The result is lubrication that responds to how the equipment is actually behaving, instead of a one-size-fits-all interval that’s often wrong in both directions.

Features

Key Features

F/01

Autonomous, condition-based dosing — no manual re-greasing schedule to manage.

F/02

Designed to retrofit onto existing bearings and rotating equipment, so most facilities don’t need to replace hardware to adopt it.

F/03

Works alongside condition-monitoring sensors for real-time feedback on lubrication health.

F/04

Reports into a central dashboard for facility-wide visibility.

F/05

Reduces unplanned downtime linked to bearing failure from inconsistent manual greasing.

F/06

Built for continuous, low-maintenance operation between service visits.

Where It Fits

Applications

AI LubeMatrix is built for facilities that want to move away from calendar-based greasing and toward condition-based maintenance. It’s a natural fit for:

A/01

Continuous, unattended lubrication on hard-to-access, elevated, or safety-restricted equipment, such as overhead conveyors or confined spaces.

A/02

High-cycle rotating equipment such as motors, fans, and pumps, where bearing wear is a recurring failure point.

A/03

Facilities already running vibration analysis or wireless condition monitoring that want lubrication folded into the same program.

A/04

Sites looking to reduce the labour cost and inconsistency of manual greasing rounds.

Comparison

Manual vs. Autonomous Greasing

A quick comparison of the two approaches:

Manual greasing

Trigger

Fixed schedule — every so many days, regardless of how the equipment is performing.

Dose

Fixed amount on a fixed timer — often wrong in both directions.

Labour

A technician visits each point on a greasing round.

AI LubeMatrix

Trigger

Real bearing friction and lubrication condition, tracked as it happens.

Dose

Only how much grease is actually needed — preventing under- and over-greasing.

Labour

Dispensed automatically, with no technician visit to the equipment.

Local Backup

Installation & Support

TCM handles installation and initial setup of AI LubeMatrix as part of every purchase, and we’re happy to combine it with a broader condition monitoring visit — for example, pairing it with vibration analysis or thermal imaging during the same site visit. Once installed, our team remains available for ongoing support, troubleshooting, and questions as your program grows.

Why AI LubeMatrix

Why Choose AI LubeMatrix

Condition-based dosing instead of calendar-based guesswork.

Sold, installed, and supported locally by TCM — not a drop-shipped import with no local backup.

Can be combined with TCM’s vibration analysis and thermal inspection services for a complete maintenance program.

Reduces both the labour cost and inconsistency of manual greasing rounds.

Built to work as a standalone unit or as part of TCM’s wider LubMatrix system.

The Wider System

Part of the LubMatrix System

AI LubeMatrix is the dosing component of TCM’s LubMatrix line — designed to work alongside our condition-monitoring sensors and central dashboard so lubrication becomes one part of a connected maintenance program rather than a standalone task. See the full LubMatrix category page for how the pieces work together.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does AI LubeMatrix work on equipment we already have?

Yes — it’s designed to retrofit onto existing bearings and rotating equipment, so most facilities can adopt it without replacing hardware.

Do I need additional sensors or software to use AI LubeMatrix?

AI LubeMatrix works well as a standalone dosing unit, and it also integrates with TCM’s condition-monitoring sensors and dashboard for teams that want full visibility. We’ll recommend the right setup based on your facility.

Can TCM install AI LubeMatrix and maintain it going forward?

Yes — TCM handles installation and remains available for ongoing support, and we can combine it with our vibration analysis and condition monitoring services.

How often does the unit need to be checked or serviced?

AI LubeMatrix is built for low-maintenance operation between visits — our team will walk you through a service interval that fits your equipment during setup.

Can AI LubeMatrix be used alongside our existing preventative maintenance program?

Yes — it’s designed to complement an existing program rather than replace it. Many facilities pair it with scheduled vibration analysis or wireless condition monitoring for a fuller picture of equipment health.

How do we get pricing for our facility?

Pricing depends on the number of dosing points and your facility layout — contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.
