Dingo Launches Oil Analysis Webstore

Dingo has today launched an on-line catalog of oil analysis products and services. A key goal of Dingo is to help as many people as possible to acheive the benefits of a good oil analysis program. Over our 13 years of business, we have seen customers struggle with bringing together the many different specialist pieces for an effective program. Dingo has done the legwork for you by finding these suppliers and bringing them together in one easy to use webstore.

Some of the benfits of this new site include:
  • Reduce the time and effort required to find and order oil analysis supplies including
    • Oil Analysis Samples Kits
    • Oil Safe® Containers
    • Sample Ports
    • Sampling hardware, pumps and tubing
    • Software accessories
  • Purchase securely on-line 24/7 from anywhere
  • Track your order status online
  • Hints and tips to help you select the right product
Browse our catalog online and check out our special Grand Opening specials!



New Power-User Product release date target is August 31, 2004

Dingo's product management group has announced a target release date for our new power-user product of August 31, 2004. This .NET based system will complement MaintenanceGuy® 1.X in Dingo's product line, providing more analysis and collaboration power to those users who want to maximize equipment performance and asset profitability.

The first release will showcase a new client interface, radically redesigned after extensive workflow analysis and surveys of maintenance professionals. The product - codenamed MGPro - includes a "Condition Management Centric" design. This means that the software is being designed from the ground up to help users manage equipment health, rather than just managing oil analysis data. Customer feedback over 13 years of business has continuously endorsed this apporach.

Some of the exciting new features to look for include:
  • Group trending - the ability to compare oil analysis data from one unit to other similar units
  • Completely redesigned Oil Sample inbox, for more effective sample management
  • The ability to record recommended maintenance actions
  • Microsoft Outlook style interface
To be among the first to see the new software after release, send a brief e-mail to Colin Armbruster at carmbruster@dingo.com


Dingo distributes Oil Safe Lubrication Systems

Our goal is to continuously bring our customers innovative products and services to help them save time and money in maintenance. The latest addition to our product family is the Oil Safe Lubrication Management System.

These color coded containers make lubrication work CLEANER, FASTER and SAFER. They help protect expensive lubricants from contamination, and reduce machinery downtime. They also reduce the risk of dangerous and costly oil spills.

Dingo is carrying the full line of these products, and they are available for order today.




Gough & Gilmour launches AnalysisMATE(tm) Oil Analysis Program.

Gough & Gilmour, the only Australia wide independent supplier of low hour Caterpillar machines (to rent or buy), launched the AnalysisMATE(tm) oil analysis, reporting and trending program in August based on Dingo’s MaintenanceGuy® software platform. AnalysisMATE(tm) will be marketed to Gough & Gilmour customers as a value added service.

As to the reasons why Gough & Gilmour adopted the Dingo MaintenanceGuy software platform as the primary interface to bring oil analysis data to clients, Tony Halls Gough & Gilmour’s Service Operations Manager said “Our main objective was to find a web based trending program that could satisfy our customers’ needs i.e. easy manageable asset register & the ability to analyse results in graphical form. With the laboratory providing customers with a 24-hr turnaround, a web based application to send results quickly via e-mail, made sense. With AnalysisMATE(tm) we can now provide our customers with an efficient link between analysis of results and equipment management.”




PRODUCT TIP - Sample Log

A handy thing to know when managing an oil analysis program is "When did I send that sample to the lab?" This becomes very important for samples which are involved in critical decisions or warranty claims.

Dingo has built a simple report to enable you to print a log of the samples you are sending out. On all sample label reports, prior to printing your sample labels, you will receive the following dialog box.


Simply select the "Yes" button and a log report will be generated with the Component, Sample Point, Sample Date, Meter Reading, Oil Changed (y/n), Oil Added, Oil age and any comments you have entered for the lab.




Upcoming Events - Minexpo, ConocoPhillips Marketer conference

Dingo staff will be soon on the road showcasing our new MaintenanceGuy Professional software and a range of new products and services.

Come and visit us at MINExpo INTERNATIONAL® 2004 September 27-30, Las Vegas, Nevada USA. We will be in the ConocoPhillips Booth #8011.
