Simple deterioration diagnosis technology for lubricating oil 'Idemitsu Smart OC'
Easily diagnose the degradation state of lubricants on the spot using a smartphone. Determine the remaining lifespan rate and contribute to stable machine operation through efficient maintenance. *GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2025
"Idemitsu Smart OC" is a technology that allows for easy on-site diagnosis of the degradation and contamination status of lubricants using a smartphone and a photography module. By simply photographing the lubricant placed in the module with a smartphone, a dedicated app performs analysis based on lubricant analysis data, calculating the remaining lifespan percentage and the quantity and size of contaminants. This enables the determination of the appropriate timing for lubricant replacement based on numerical data, contributing to the stable operation of machinery and equipment. 【Features and Benefits】 ■ Reduction of time and labor for lubricant diagnosis ■ Determination of remaining lifespan percentage based on the color of the lubricant (degradation status) ■ Calculation of the quantity and size of contaminants (contamination status) ■ Contribution to the optimization of lubricant replacement timing Transitioning from TBM (Time-Based Maintenance) to CBM (Condition-Based Maintenance) 【GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2025】 GOOD DESIGN AWARD is an only comprehensive design evaluation and promotion mechanism in Japan. GOOD DESIGN AWARD places more importance on innovation than on visual beauty. Idemitsu Smart OC was recognized as an innovation that addresses social issues such as labor shortages and the reduction of environmental impact. *Please note that specifications may change without notice.
basic information

Easily diagnose the condition of lubricant degradation on the spot with your smartphone. ◆ We have received the Good Design Award ◆
"Idemitsu Smart OC" is a technology that allows for easy on-site diagnosis of the degradation and contamination state of lubricants using a smartphone and a photography module. We are pleased to announce that we have received the Good Design Award for the fiscal year 2025. The "Good Design Award," organized by the Japan Design Promotion Association, is Japan's only comprehensive design evaluation and recommendation system. This award places greater importance on innovation than on mere aesthetic beauty, and it has been recognized as an innovation that addresses social issues such as labor shortages and environmental impact reduction. By simply photographing the lubricant contained in the module with a smartphone, it calculates the remaining lifespan percentage and the quantity and size of contaminants. This allows for a data-driven judgment of the appropriate timing for lubricant replacement, contributing to the stable operation of machinery and equipment. [Features and Benefits] ■ Reduction of time and labor for lubricant diagnosis ■ Determination of remaining lifespan percentage based on lubricant color (degradation state) ■ Calculation of the quantity and size of contaminants (contamination state) ■ Contribution to the optimization of lubricant replacement timing Transitioning from TBM (Time-Based Maintenance) to CBM (Condition-Based Maintenance) *Please note that specifications may change without prior notice.
