[KYB Corporation] "Oil Condition Diagnosis System" Service Launched - Supporting Optimal Maintenance of Hydraulic Equipment

KYB Corporation (hereinafter, KYB) has launched its "Oil Condition Diagnosis System" service, which constantly monitors the condition of hydraulic fluid used in hydraulic equipment and supports stable equipment operation and efficient maintenance.

In recent years, various industrial sectors, including manufacturing, have been seeking advanced and efficient equipment maintenance due to aging facilities, a shortage of maintenance personnel, and the need to respond to SDGs and carbon neutrality. To address these challenges, KYB has developed an oil condition diagnosis system that visualizes oil conditions and allows for understanding equipment status.

Features of the Oil Condition Diagnosis System

This system is a service that combines an oil condition sensor, which precisely measures the dielectric constant and conductivity of oil, with an IoT platform and a dedicated web application.

• Real-time Visualization of Oil Condition

  The electrical properties of oil, conductivity and dielectric constant, are constantly monitored as numerical values, allowing intuitive confirmation of oil condition on a web application.

• High-sensitivity and High-reliability Sensing Technology
  Particularly for conductivity, highly sensitive measurement is possible, contributing to early detection of subtle changes in oil condition.

• Diagnosis Service Requiring No Specialized Knowledge
  KYB constantly monitors data and notifies users with a report if abnormal signs are detected. This supports appropriate decision-making even if users do not have specialized knowledge of oil.

• Data-driven Analysis in Combination with Property Analysis (Optional Service)
  Evidence-based diagnosis and analysis, combined with oil property analysis services by group companies, are offered as an optional service.

Target Audience and Use Cases

This service is intended for factory equipment and various hydraulic machinery, with applications such as:

• Monitoring the condition of hydraulic fluid in hydraulic facilities and test equipment

• Managing hydraulic fluid degradation and optimizing replacement timing

• Reducing the risk of sudden shutdowns and advancing predictive maintenance

• Labor-saving and efficiency improvement in maintenance operations
