Design for Industry Accurately monitor oil health in off-highway equipment

HydraForce, Tan Delta Systems, and Elevāt have developed a way to eliminate the most common causes of o -highway machine downtime. The solution is composed of di erent parts, a mobile machine telematics solution from Elevāt that seamlessly incorporates with manifold assemblies using HydraForce cartridge valves and Tan Delta oil conditioning sensors.

The integrated solution provides a centralized portal along with email and text alerts providing fleet operators with remote monitoring, control, and optimization capabilities for field-deployed assets.

The solution supports remote diagnostics, predictive maintenance, live updates, and proactive telematics reports. The interface is easy-to-use with fast access to data. It reports in a clear format so issues can be addressed before they impact machine operation.

The Tan Delta oil conditioning sensors provide operators with machine operational data and deliver custom alerts to inform the operator or owner when hydraulic fluids require maintenance. The combination of an electronic controller architecture with telematics provides multiple benefits to users, including real-time data and ongoing alerts of oil conditions. The reported information will prevent excessive wear of hydraulic components and catastrophic failures that can occur when machines are in operation, thus, leading to increased productivity and reductions in machine downtimes and maintenance costs.

Through accurate monitoring of oil health, maintenance scheduling can also be optimized as equipment is serviced only when required, and operators can rest assured that any unexpected changes in the oil condition will be immediately detected and reported. This can also extend the operational life of equipment and overall machine health, as optimal oil conditions prevent unnecessary wear and tear. DW
