POLARIS Laboratories® and i-Care Announce Strategic Integration with I-see Technology
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.
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 through the company’s API, HORIZON® Connect.
“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. Through the HORIZON® Connect API, 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.
