VitalyX

A revolutionary lubricating oil monitoring platform

Introducing VitalyX, the revolutionary digital lubrication oil monitoring system from Baker Hughes. Lubrication oil is not only the lifeblood of your machines, but it is a key indicator of potentially unseen issues which can cause reduced asset performance, or catastrophic loss of asset.

VitalyX combines world class sensing technologies with unmatched data science, edge computing and cloud connectivity capabilities, along with a deep domain knowledge of machines and heritage in condition-based monitoring.

Current lubrication oil monitoring practices involve manual sampling and laboratory testing, which can be prone to human error and delays of multiple weeks, leaving you and your equipment vulnerable to failure or a drop in performance.

VitalyX works by deploying sensors to critical assets which collect key information about the lubrication oil and machine in real-time. The VitalyX edge computer then sends that data to the cloud where proprietary algorithms and machine learning capabilities convert the lubricant data into alerts/alarms, meaningful insights, and recommendations for your asset.

VitalyX measures up to 15 parameters of lubrication oil, and combines them to give you a detailed picture of your assets health. All parameters have been proven to be comparable to laboratory results, in accordance with relevant ASTM specifications.

VitalyX - Digital Realtime Lubrication Oil Monitoring

Why VitalyX

Move to condition based maintenance

VitalyX can calculate the remaining useful life of your oil, meaning that you can confidently move from inefficient and costly time based maintenance, to condition based maintenance. VitalyX will tell you when its time to change your lubrication oil.

Prevention of catastrophic loss of asset

By continuously monitoring for contamination and wear debris and other leading indicators of imminent failure, VitalyX will alert you BEFORE an issue occurs. Saving you the cost of asset repair/replacement while also increasing your machine uptime.

Reduction of carbon footprint

Fifty percent of used lubrication oil finds it way back to the environment as pollution. By only changing your lube when it needs to be changed, this can significantly reduce your carbon footprint, not only in saved oil, but in logistics, packaging and transportation of oil.

Autonomy of operations

Human error is the number one cause of missed warning signs during manual sampling. Automating oil monitoring reduces both the risk of human error, but it also ensures that the need for unnecessary movement of people is reduced.
