Fluid Analysis Is More Than a Lab Report — It’s Your Fleet’s First Line of Defense
Most fleet managers wouldn’t dream of skipping scheduled maintenance. But what many overlook is a deeper layer of insight already available to them: the fluids running through every engine, hydraulic system, and cooling line.
Welcome to the world of fluid analysis — where every oil sample tells a story, and every lab report offers an opportunity to prevent the kind of downtime that hurts productivity and profitability.
The Hidden Costs of Waiting for Failure
Even well-maintained machines experience wear. Over time, critical components shed particles of metal, fluids degrade, and contamination creeps in. These changes can’t always be seen or felt during an inspection — but they show up clearly in an oil sample.
One customer avoided a $32,000 failure with a $415 repair, simply because their fluid analysis revealed elevated wear metals before the component failed.
That’s the kind of ROI you can’t afford to ignore.
What Fluid Analysis Can Tell You:
- Presence of wear metals from components breaking down
- Fuel or coolant contamination in oil
- Degraded additive packages in hydraulic fluid.
- Residual dirt or water that slipped past filtration
This kind of lab insight is critical for planning maintenance, extending component life, and avoiding costly surprises.
Bringing Lab Insights Into Your Dashboard
Traditionally, fluid analysis results lived in spreadsheets, email attachments, or siloed systems. Fleet managers had to dig for the data — and by the time they reviewed it, it was often too late to act.
With Fleet Intelligence™, those days are over.
We integrate directly with your fluid analysis provider so you can:
- Get alerts based on lab thresholds
- See fluid health alongside hours, location, and fault codes
- Automate work orders triggered by contamination or wear
- Plan service proactively across your mixed fleet
One View for Every Asset
Best of all, Fleet Intelligence works across your entire fleet — regardless of OEM. You can track non-powered assets, heavy iron, and on-road vehicles in the same platform, with fluid analysis results feeding into the same real-time view.
Because it’s not just about collecting lab reports. It’s about seeing the problem before it becomes one.
Want to see what’s hiding in your oil reports? Let’s talk about bringing your lab data into Fleet Intelligence™ Single Pane of Glass.
