TrakkaTM gets MOE betta!

The task of finding equipment information and keeping track of critical reports in your growing reliability program is about to become a whole lot easier. Trakka v 1.1, the first update, will be released on January 15, 2004. Two major features have been added to assist collaborative problem solving, streamline program administration and simplify use of the software:
  • Multi Object Events (MOE) - Assess machine condition more efficiently and accurately by having access to all your important condition information right on your oil analysis trends. Avoid the hassle and cost of integrating different systems by simply loading pertinent information into one web based system that Trakks it for you. Vibration reports, case studies, wear debris and thermographic images plus more can be viewed quickly and easily while reviewing Oil Analysis results. The information you need to make the best decision is at your fingertips when you need it.
  • Profiles - Stop spending time searching for and entering accurate equipment information. Simply link your assets, components, lubricants and more to a matching Profile and all the extra information such as description, lubricant capacity, equipment type, component list, typical viscosity etc display automatically.

These new tools further extend Trakka's industry leading feature set:
  • Group trending - compare oil analysis data from one unit to other similar units
  • Correlation (Lock-step) finder - find trend relationships (e.g. lock-step) easily with independent trend scaling
  • Oil Sample inbox - access your latest samples instantly
  • Action Assurance - ensure problems are not missed and recommended maintenance actions are recorded
A multi-media demo is now available from Dingo on-line or on CD. This demonstration movie illustrated Trakka being used in a diagnosis of a fleetwide contamination control issue.

ConocoPhillips Marketers Conference Turns it Up

TradeshowOne of the biggest successes - and perhaps even the sleeper hit of the recent 2004 Las Vegas ConocoPhillips Lubricants Marketer Conference - was the mini-tradeshow held on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon, which gave conference attendees an opportunity to learn more about ConocoPhillips Lubricants' programs, services and vendors.

In advance of the conference, Marketers provided input on what they wanted to see, and this tailored show featured 14 exciting booths that offered them a chance to meet, greet and gain valuable information from ConocoPhillips departments as well as key vendors like Dingo.

It was a great opportunity for Gail and Marc from our customer service team to personally meet many of the wonderful customers they have been working with over the phone. Gail reports that everyone looked like what she had imagined they would. Talk about ESP!

Since the conference, we have experienced a significant increase in the number of ConocoPhillips marketers who are looking at how the AnalysisPlus and KLAS.net oil analysis programs can help them grow their businesses. Call us and we will help you to "Turn it Up" say Marc, Joyce and Gail!
