POLARIS Laboratories’ Houston Texas Laboratory is Moving!

Our laboratory facility in Houston, Texas is moving to a larger space and opening March 25

As we continue to grow, we need additional space to develop and maintain our lean processes, expand our available laboratory testing services, and reduce our sample turnaround times – all in an effort to better serve our customers. As your dedicated fluid analysis laboratory, we will provide the same quality testing and results in this new location.

Customer can begin sending samples to the new laboratory starting March 18 – see new address below:

New Address

Below are a few important things to note, along with significant dates:

  • No Service Interruptions – There will be no closures or delays in processing, testing and analyzing samples
  • Non-Houston Locations – Shipments to non-Houston laboratories will not be affected
  • Sample Labels – Product orders for sample information forms will display the new address starting March 1

POLARIS Laboratories® Nominated for Innovation Award at 2024 Mira Awards

Company recognized for leveraging software to provide predictive analytics

INDIANAPOLIS – POLARIS Laboratories® is honored to be nominated as a finalist for the Conexus Manufacturing Innovation Award, presented at the 2024 TechPoint Mira Awards later this spring.

In an effort to bridge the gap between Indiana’s technology ecosystem and industrial innovators and manufacturers, Conexus Indiana partnered with TechPoint, to present the first-ever award which gives industrial companies an opportunity to showcase innovation, digital transformation and entrepreneurial success stories.

Through a Manufacturing Readiness Grant (MRG) provided by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation and administered by Conexus Indiana, POLARIS Laboratories® invested in proprietary software to provide predictive maintenance and analytics for its manufacturing customers around the globe.

“We are leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence to marry traditional fluid analysis with operational data to build a predictive maintenance model. We are then able to monitor and identify that a component’s real-time operating conditions could lead to maintenance issues, and proactively inform our customer.” – Mark Westlake, Chief Information Officer, POLARIS Laboratories®.

The Conexus Manufacturing Innovation Award winner will be announced during the prestigious Mira Awards ceremony on April 26 at the Old National Centre in Indianapolis where industry leaders and innovators will gather to celebrate nominations for outstanding achievements in Indiana.
