perma-tec: A journey to connected lubrication systems – from Bluetooth to LoRaWAN
Lubrication specialist perma-tec, founded more than 90 years ago, is pushing its products further into the Industry 4.0 world by adding wireless connectivity to its systems. The company has moved from basic Bluetooth-enabled monitoring toward longer-range industrial networking.
In September 2024, perma-tec released the perma STAR VARIO LONG RANGE, which uses LoRaWAN to connect lubrication systems across wider areas, such as large plants or distributed assets. The upgrade aims to make it easier for operators to monitor lubrication status remotely, reduce manual checks, and better integrate lubrication data into broader industrial IoT setups.
