The multibrand MAN Fluid Monitor establishes itself in the oil lube condition monitoring market for marine and industrial engines

Since its launch in 2020, the MAN Fluid Monitor has emerged as the undisputed leader in real-time monitoring of engine health. Thanks to quick and easy deployment through an international network of experts, this solution has revolutionized engine failure prevention and maintenance optimization, transforming industrial equipment management.

What is MAN Fluid Monitor for lube oil?

The MAN Fluid Monitor is a smart maintenance solution that analyzes the condition of engine lube oil and potential residues in real time. This continuous monitoring allows early detection of engine lube oil anomalies before they become serious. 

The collected data provides operators the means to implement condition-based maintenance strategies. This enables quick corrective action, even during high-risk cold starts, reducing operational costs (OPEX) and improving engine availability. The risk of breakdown is thus reduced, and the return on investment improved. Ultimately, the MAN Fluid Monitor improves performance and optimizes equipment.

Condition-based maintenance particularly suited for power, merchant and military marine sectors 

The MAN Fluid Monitor is particularly well-suited for markets where machine availability and safety is paramount. Thus, MFM is particularly deployed in the merchant navy (60%), the military navy (21%), but also on power plants (17%). This significant adoption in these key areas demonstrates its ability to meet operators' specific needs for continuous monitoring and safety.

A universal lube oil monitoring solution

The versatility of the MAN Fluid Monitor is also a major advantage since the solution adapts to a wide variety of MAN engines but also third-party engines. Easily integrated into all 4-stroke engines, whether new or already in service, on board a ship or in a power plant, the MAN Fluid Monitor is also being adapted for 2-stroke engines. This adaptability is a major asset for operators managing an extensive fleet of engines.

MAN Fluid Monitor certified in cybersecurity

The MAN Fluid Monitor is certified for ship cyber resilience and cybersecurity of onboard systems and equipment (IACS UR E27). It protects the ship's interfaces in the event of a cyberattack, meeting the requirements of military navies. 

 

Digitalization of maintenance to optimize engine performance

The MAN Fluid Monitor, through its integration into the Asset+ digital ecosystem and its ability to provide real-time data for remote analysis, embodies the maintenance transformation to maintenance 4.0. This digital solution transforms equipment management by improving reliability, performance and service life.

As a stand-alone on-site solution, the MAN Fluid Monitor can be integrated seamlessly into PrimeServ Assist thanks to the MAN CEON cloud connection. This integration enables enhanced remote support, increasing the responsiveness and proactivity of maintenance teams, reducing downtime and associated costs.
