Once considered a mere necessity for reducing friction, lubrication systems have evolved into sophisticated guardians of machinery health, thanks to the integration of advanced sensor technology. Today, these systems do more than lubricate; they monitor, analyse and predict, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of equipment.
This transformation is driven by innovative sensors embedded into lubrication systems, enabling real-time monitoring of critical parameters such as viscosity, temperature and contamination levels. This real-time data prevents unexpected breakdowns, enhances efficiency and reduces maintenance costs, revolutionising how industries manage their machinery.
The integration of IoT in lubrication systems enables real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing downtime. The industry’s focus on sustainability drives the development of biodegradable lubricants, turning regulatory compliance into a strategic advantage. Technological innovations, such as fluid condition and optical sensors, monitor critical parameters like viscosity, temperature and contamination levels, ensuring optimal lubrication and preventing breakdowns. Together, these trends revolutionise lubrication systems, making them more efficient, reliable and costeffective.
As these advancements continue to shape the future of sensor technology, the global market for sensors is projected to reach $166.2 billion by 2029, with a CAGR of 7.8 percent.
This Applied Technology Review Europe bring to readers the critical developments in the sensor technology through a thought leadership article from Emmy Pavlovic of Bulten Group. She discusses their acquisition of TensionCam, which uses innovative sensor technology to maintain fasteners precisely. This approach reduces downtime, extends component life and creates new opportunities across various industries. The magazine also features an article from David Stepanek of Bristow, who discusses integrating Advanced Air Mobility technologies into their operations, leveraging decades of experience. Bristow aims to pioneer these innovations while maintaining core services in transport and rescue.
The publication spotlights Nexoil as the company of the year for its highquality and customised lubrication systems and hydraulic cylinders. With decades of experience and a wide range of solutions, it meets diverse industrial needs across multiple sectors while maintaining rigorous quality standards and prompt service responses
