Advancing fluid monitoring with real-time insights for proactive maintenance and efficiency

19 May, 2025

The company says that fluid monitoring relies on periodic manual sampling and lab analysis - a timeconsuming process that does not capitalise on today’s digitisation approach. This traditional periodic sampling method can also pose potential issues:

Elongated process: Sending samples to labs can take weeks, potentially causing sample degradation and delaying crucial maintenance decisions.

Snapshot Data: Lab tests provide only periodic snapshots, missing ongoing changes in fluid conditions.

Potential for Errors: Manual sampling can introduce contaminants, leading to inaccurate results.

Aligned with today’s automated processes, FROG communicates ‘live’ insights into the condition of systems fluids, allowing for proactive maintenance and significant cost savings, reducing the potential for error.

The company says FROG can help for several reasons:

Proactive Maintenance: By enabling early detection of fluid issues, FROG’s real? time monitoring and communicating ability supports proactive decision-making and preventive maintenance.

Cost-Efficiency: Live system communication allows the optimisation of equipment performance, extends asset lifespan and lowers maintenance costs.

Environmental Impact: FROG’s data has the scope to reduce environmental impact by minimising fluid waste through precise monitoring and proactive maintenance.

Data-Driven Decisions: Utilise advanced analytics and trend detection to improve maintenance decision-making, enhance overall efficiency and provide immediate notifications of condition changes.

Technical Support: The innovation seamlessly integrates with existing systems, with support from the FROG team.

Failing to properly monitor fluid systems can lead to significant financial consequences. The replacement and disposal of contaminated fluids not only carry high costs but also present environmental risks. Additionally, component failures caused by unfit or poorly maintained fluids can lead to costly downtime, resulting in lost production and further impacting profitability.

FROG offers precision, putting clients in control. Sensors track contamination, humidity, temperature – and other information – transmitting data to a secure portal. This continuous stream of real-time data allows for swift anomaly detection and trend analysis, empowering teams to anticipate issues and plan ahead.

It also provides a comprehensive solution for fluid management, offering a range of benefits designed to enhance operational efficiency and asset longevity.
