Zusammenfassung:The present invention defines a method of executing a lubrication plan for lubricating a plurality of machines (M1, M2, M3, M4) with grease, where each machine comprises one or more lubrication points where grease can be delivered. The method comprises steps of: (i) defining a set of instructions for the lubrication plan, including at least a series of prescribed grease volumes V1, V2,... Vn to be delivered at a corresponding series of lubrication points L1, L2, Ln; (ii) generating an image of each lubrication point in the series, whereby each generated image comprises a photograph of the machine that has the lubrication point, including a visual indication of the location of that lubrication point on the machine; (iii) storing the set of instructions and each generated image in a system comprising a grease meter and a display device; (iv) displaying a generated image of a lubrication point on the display device, including the prescribed grease volume be delivered there; (v) delivering grease at that lubrication point via the grease meter, which measures and stores the delivered volume; (vi) displaying a generated image of a further lubrication point in the series, including the prescribed grease volume be delivered there, whereby the step of displaying (vi) is triggered by the storage of the delivered volume measured by the grease meter in step (v); and (vii) repeating steps (v) and (vi) until the grease meter has stored the delivered volume of grease for all of the lubrication points in the series. La présente invention définit un procédé d'exécution d'un plan de lubrification permettant de lubrifier une pluralité de machines (M1, M2, M3, M4) avec de la graisse, chaque machine comprenant un ou plusieurs points de lubrification au niveau desquels de la graisse peut être fournie. Le procédé comprend les étapes consistant à: (i) définir un ensemble d'instructions pour le plan de lubrification, comprenant au moins une série de volumes de graisse prédéterminés V1, V2,... Vn devant être distribués au niveau d'une série correspondante de points de lubrification L1, L2, Ln; (ii) générer une image de chaque point de lubrification dans la série, moyennant quoi chaque image générée comprend une photographie de la machine comprenant le point de lubrification, comprenant une indication visuelle de l'emplacement de ce point de lubrification sur la machine; (iii) stocker l'ensemble d'instructions et chaque image générée dans un système comprenant un compteur de graisse
