Release of LOAMS 2.0 Lube Software Sets Stage for Global Expansion of Oil Condition Monitoring Services by Analysts, Inc.’s Parent Bureau Veritas

Analysts, Inc., has released version 2.0 of its Lube Oil Analysis Management System (LOAMS). The new software appears to provide a platform for an aggressive global expansion of oil condition monitoring (OCM) services by the company’s parent, Bureau Veritas.

This latest LOAMS software release enhances the application’s sample and equipment management features and expands data mining functionality. Additional updates include a more responsive page layout that changes according to individual browser screen size and new widgets that make it easier to track sample progress and view and comment on recent account changes like equipment moves, merges or maintenance events.

According to the manufacturer, with LOAMS 2.0, users can comment on sample reports and send them to multiple recipients with a customized message. They also can upload their own equipment lists, filter information for printing repeat sample labels ahead of time and sort and filter sample report spreadsheet downloads for a more informative, overall view of their data. The software’s trend and comparison graphs provide a quick picture of equipment performance over time, thus helping equipment managers to make informed maintenance decisions now and in the future.

“LOAMS 2.0 gives users more control over sample information and opens the lines of communication between management and maintenance personnel and the laboratory,” says Cary Forgeron, General Manager of Analysts, Inc. “Administrative tasks have also been streamlined. Administrators can re-assign user locations with a simple ‘drag and drop’ function or choose to apply a variety of equipment restrictions by worksite.” As he puts it, the improved search and graphing functionality of version 2.0 can significantly enhance the value of customer data.
