Where Is the Wear? Why Oil Samples Don’t Show Wear Debris
Research has shown that elemental and optical particle counting tests performed on oil samples do not provide any meaningful data on gearbox health. But why?
The #1 Reason EIS OCM Sensors Are Better Than Dielectric Oil Sensors
Online oil condition monitoring technology makes a big impact on operators’ reliability programs. As technology advances, the value the sensors provide advances as well. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) technology is an advanced form of...

Credit Kurz Industrial Solutions: Original Blog Poseidon Systems offers sensors, oil conditioning monitoring and wear debris monitoring solutions to Wind turbine operators. When Kurz Wind sat down with Stephen Steen – Vice President of Industrial IoT, they had...
Digital Twin Advancements Require Innovative Sensor Technology
What Is a Digital Twin? Network World has a great overview of digital twins here. It summarizes a digital twin as " a digital representation of a physical object or system." These are typically a combination of supply chain information, engineering models, data...
Use Case: Water and Oil Don’t Mix
Everyone knows the age old saying "water and oil don't mix." But what does that mean for reliability programs? Simply put, a lot! In most cases, reliability teams are concerned about relative humidity (RH) and keeping the oil within a safe operating range. In the...
Complete Fluid Monitoring – QW3100
Complete Fluid Monitoring Introducing Poseidon Systems's Trident QW3100 fluid quality sensor, the most advanced online fluid quality sensor available. The QW3100 is the only fluid quality sensor designed to replace the need for periodic oil sampling, as a critical...
Advanced Wind Turbine Oil Digitization
Poseidon Systems is excited to exhibit again this year! The Houston Chronicle recently released an article citing an IHS Market report that expects wind O&M to grow by almost 40% by 2027. This has a large relation to the continued aging of turbines, "The North...
Advanced Oil/Fluid Monitoring of Engine and Drivetrain Test Cells
Drivetrain and engine test cells are the backbone of engineering testing programs. Validation and verification testing programs have been utilized for centuries in one form or another. Sadly, the methodology for monitoring fluid and component health during this...
Wind Energy to Grow 40% – Reaching $8.3B Annually by 2027
The Houston Chronicle recently released an article citing an IHS Market report that expects wind O&M to grow by almost 40% by 2027. This has a large relation to the continued aging of turbines, "The North American wind turbine fleet is aging with the average age...
Before Digitalisation Comes Digitisation
Definitions Before we go too far, let's get our terms right. I-Scoop has a great overview of the differences between Digitisation, Digitalisation, and Digital Transformation. Digitisation: "Digitization is the transformation from analog to digital or digital...
