Lubricant dispenser systems and methods

A connector adapted for removably connecting to a fitting for a lubrication point of a device to be lubricated, said fitting being adapted for removably connecting to said connector to receive a lubricant from the connector, the fitting comprising:

• a body in which a fluid conduit is formed for guiding a lubricant, when received from the connector via an inlet of the fluid conduit, into the lubrication point,
• an integrated circuit adapted for providing an identification code to identify the fitting, and
• a first electrical contact for establishing an electrical path between the integrated circuit and the processor of the connector when a connection between the fitting and the connector is established,
• wherein said body comprises a fixation end adapted for fastening the fitting into or onto the lubrication point,
• wherein said integrated circuit is adapted for transmitting data via said first electrical contact to said processor, when a connection between the fitting and the connector is established, said data comprising said identification code,
• the connector comprising:
• a processor for receiving an identification code from the integrated circuit of the fitting when connected thereto, and
• a second electrical contact for establishing an electrical path between the integrated circuit of the fitting and the processor via the first electrical contact of the fitting when a connection between the fitting and the connector is established,
• wherein said processor comprises an electronic memory for storing said received identification code, or an identification of said fitting based on said received identification code, optionally together with a timestamp to indicate when said fitting was mechanically and electrically coupled to the connector and/or together with further data received from a sensor in said fitting or in said connector,
• wherein said processor is adapted for storing failed connection attempts in said memory, optionally together with a timestamp to indicate when said failed connection attempt took place.
