Industrial organizations are set to benefit from this collaboration, as it promotes more cohesive data collection and analysis that deliver timely insights into equipment performance and operational longevity.
HOUSTON, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- I-care, a global leader in predictive maintenance and machine health, has announced a strategic integration with POLARIS Laboratories®. This integration connects I-see™, I-care's AI-enhanced platform for oversight of PdM technologies, with advanced fluid analysis data from POLARIS Laboratories. The integration was developed by POLARIS Laboratories and is now available to I-see users.
"We're excited to partner with I-care on this important advancement," said Randy Clark, POLARIS Laboratories' Manager of Reliability. "Integrating our fluid analysis insights with Wi-care's predictive maintenance sensors provides a more holistic approach to equipment reliability and strengthens the maintenance strategies of our customers."
The collaboration between I-care and POLARIS Laboratories brings together two critical sources of machine health intelligence, providing maintenance teams with a more complete view of equipment performance and condition. Fluid analysis results from POLARIS Laboratories can now feed directly into the I-see platform, which provides maintenance personnel with actionable insights into mechanical systems without the need for manual data transfer.
Using AI workflows, I-see processes millions of data points, clearly categorizing data to indicate potential issues and critical failures, generating recommendations through a centralized dashboard with asset, plant and global views, all accessible with a user-friendly interface.
Maintenance and reliability professionals will now be able to see lubricant condition, contamination and wear data, alongside vibration and temperature trends from Wi-care™ sensors. These combined insights facilitate more informed decisions and faster response times.
"This integration marks the beginning of a new chapter in data-driven maintenance," says Ben Detober, Deputy CEO of I-care Group. "By linking POLARIS Laboratories industry-leading fluid analysis with the I-see platform, we're giving customers the power to see more, know more and do more to protect their critical assets. It's the first of many partnerships we're enabling through I-see's open API to elevate reliability programs."
Both companies see this as the first step in a broader strategy to deliver seamless interoperability between reliability tools. Together, they aim to enhance maintenance workflows and reduce unplanned downtime for asset-intensive industries.
