Successful certificate training course on machine monitoring through oil analysis
From 1 to 3 July 2025, Amazon RME in Sülzetal hosted a three-day in-house seminar organised by OilDoc GmbH. A total of 17 participants from the Amazon RME team took part in the certificate course ‘MLA/MLT I – Machine Monitoring through Oil Analysis (for Beginners)’.
Under the guidance of OilDoc Managing Director Rüdiger Krethe, participants gained practical knowledge to prepare them specifically for the internationally recognised ICML certificates ‘Machinery Lubrication Analyst (MLA I)’ and ‘Machinery Lubrication Technician (MLT I)’. The training course taught basic skills for monitoring machine conditions using oil analysis – an important component of preventive maintenance and extending the service life of technical equipment.
OilDoc GmbH would like to express its sincere thanks to all the dedicated participants for their active involvement, as well as to Amazon RME for its excellent organisation and hospitality on site.
The MLA (Machinery Lubricant Analyst) oil analysis specialist
A certified oil analysis specialist (MLA) is proficient in sampling, sample management, simple on-site oil analysis tests and the evaluation of results for machine monitoring. ICML certification confirms a high level of expertise in machine lubrication and maintenance, resulting in reliable and cost-effective operation.
MLA specialists install sampling devices, take representative samples, select suitable analysis methods for fault detection and quality control, evaluate results and thus ensure machine availability. Practical knowledge of lubrication, wear and tribology is a prerequisite.
