Oil Condition Monitoring
The entire process, from planning to actual sampling, from the analysis of oil properties to a summarized report, is mapped simply and efficiently. erasoft OCM offers a wide range of functions which, in addition to the oil condition monitoring, meet important requirements in companies. The central element is always the structure of the company and the processes are adapted accordingly.

Reporting
At the end, the results can be combined into technical statements and offer the professional every opportunity to identify the appropriate corrective measures. Automatic reports and the consideration of result validation round off the options. Reports can also be used to summarize open or planned activities and warnings at the level of any asset.

Data Integration
The results of the measurements are automatically received by the respective measuring devices and assigned to the corresponding sample. The scalable database management system (DBMS) forms the backbone of the software solution and enables real user administration, backups and flexible use of the data.

License Model
erasoft OCM software is offered on a lifetime license basis. A local installation or a license model with a floating license can be selected for any user. The licensing of the DBMS used is adjusted accordingly. The number of managed objects (assets, machines, vehicles, etc.) and connected measurement devices is unlimited.

erasoft OCM ensures high data security and is not cloud-based. It communicates directly with its dedicated Database Management System (DBMS), which can be installed locally on a PC or on a private company server for maximum security and control. erasoft OCM prioritizes security by keeping your sensitive data within your own infrastructure. Unlike cloud solutions, erasoft OCM operates through a dedicated DBMS. Key security aspects include:
– Local or server hosting: You choose whether to host the database on an individual workstation or a secure company server
– Data control: Because it is not a cloud service, your oil analysis data and asset history never leave your internal network unless you choose to move them
– Internal accessibility: The system maintains internal connectivity for your team while remaining shielded from external threats
– Access control: User rights defined in the software client are seamless applied also at database level to ensure data security throughout all levels

erasoft OCM installation requires a Windows® PC or laptop. For local setups, instruments must share a network with the PC to enable data transfer. If using a server-based DBMS, common network access is essential for automated data importing. The required DBMS is SAP® SQL Anywhere. The requirements are:
– Operating system: Only a standard Windows®-based PC or laptop is required for the software environment
– Network connectivity: Instruments and the host PC must reside on the same network to facilitate data-export to shared folders
– Server integration: If the Database Management System (DBMS) is hosted on a central server, the network must be configured to allow communication between the server and the local shared folders
– Automation: Proper network access enables the system to automatically import measurement data directly from analyzers into the DBMS, reducing manual entry errors

No, operation and data transfer between instruments and erasoft OCM occurs over a local network without internet. Also, operation of the OCM mobile app does not require internet connection. erasoft OCM is designed to maintain high data security and operational flexibility by utilizing local infrastructure for its core functions:
– Local network: Communication between the instruments and the DBMS is handled via an internal LAN, ensuring no external web access is needed
– Offline capability: The OCM mobile application is built for field use, allowing users to collect measurement data entirely offline
– Synchronization: Only a network connection is needed when you are ready to upload collected data from the mobile device to the DBMS
This architecture provides a robust environment where your sensitive measurement data remains within your controlled network while still offering mobile flexibility. If you have detailed questions, just contact our service and support team >>
