HYDRAULICS Micron Eagle Hydraulics has introduced a new solution designed to address a longstanding challenge in industrial maintenance: effective fluid monitoring. The Fluid-fitness Remote Online Guardian, or FROG, offers a shift from traditional methods of fluid condition monitoring, enabling real-time data analysis and proactive maintenance for industrial systems. In this context, ‘fluid’ refers to essential industrial liquids such as hydraulic fluids, lubricants and certain fuels, essential for the smooth and efficient running of machinery. FROG offers predictive intelligence and customisable alerts to monitor these fluids in real-time, enabling proactive asset management. By detecting contamination issues, FROG helps prevent costly downtime, improve operational efficiency and support sustainability, ultimately transforming maintenance practices and driving enhanced performance. It also helps reduce the need for frequent handling and disposal of fluids, contributing to a lower environmental impact by minimising waste and hazardous disposal requirements. It is the first product developed under Micron Eagle’s Fluid Fitness Technology (FFT) programme. This initiative is designed to transform how industries monitor and manage fluids, improving operational efficiency, extending the lifespan of equipment and refining maintenance practices. FFT also prioritises fostering collaboration and open dialogue within the industry, ensuring that solutions are responsive to both current needs and emerging challenges. Through this innovative approach, FFT aims to raise fluid performance standards while addressing complex industry demands with cuttingedge technology and expertise. Mark Burnett, Business Development Director at Micron Eagle Hydraulics, said: “FROG is a genuine industry gamechanger and has already been adopted by a major operator that immediately realised its benefits. “FROG acts as a radar for fluid fitness, communicating early-warning data to support the process of identifying potential equipment failures, while helping to optimise performance and asset integrity.” Micron Eagle Hydraulics has introduced the Fluid-fitness Remote Online Guardian (FROG), a real-time monitoring solution for industrial fluid systems. FROG enables proactive maintenance by detecting fluid issues early, improving efficiency, reducing downtime, and supporting sustainability through reduced fluid waste. Developed under the Fluid Fitness Technology initiative, FROG is transforming fluid management across various industries.
