Fluid Analysis
The Volvo Fluid Analysis service helps you identify contamination and wear issues, making it possible to act at the earliest opportunity to prevent unnecessary downtime. It analyses oil and diesel fuels as well lubricants, coolants and AdBlue and gives you insights to make more informed decisions when selecting different fluids in the future.
More insight, more uptime
75% of repair costs and equipment downtime is traceable to the use of contaminated lubricants and fuels, including 65-75% of bearing failures. Through early identification of possible contamination or wear, you can take proactive action before any unplanned downtime occurs, helping to maintain productivity and avoid potential repair costs.
One of the key features of the new Volvo Fluid Analysis service is its use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to make the testing process and analysis quicker and more accurate. The use of AI allows lab technicians to focus on more detailed testing issues – such as analyzing abnormal or critical samples – which are of greatest concern to clients and thereby offer more useful insights and recommendations.
Our digitized Fluid Analysis process is quick, and straightforward, providing reports to the highest levels of accuracy:
- A collected sample is sent to one of our global network of laboratories
- The Volvo laboratory provides a rapid turnaround time to obtain essential information such as oil condition, contamination, wear metals and additives
- The report is uploaded to the portal for review and consideration
Our cloud-based portal features a user-friendly interface which presents Fluid Analysis reports in a highly visual and easy-to-understand format. What’s more, with the mobile app users can register samples from anywhere in the world, quickly and easily access sample reports, and receive notifications if anything should require urgent attention.
