“Our emulsion documentation has never been this straightforward! No more paper clutter or scattered Excel spreadsheets – all our documentation is now stored digitally in one organised place and can be accessed quickly from anywhere.”

“Our emulsion management is now much more effective. We can react immediately to even the slightest changes. This means the emulsion remains stable for much longer and our staff can work safely. The quality of the workpieces no longer fluctuates either.”

With traditional paper lists, information remains where it was recorded. Mabanol Connect takes a different approach. The web-based dashboard allows access to the stored emulsion data from any location.
Whether in the production hall, the foreman’s office, the maintenance department, head office or whilst on the move: authorised users can view the available information via a browser or the app. This can be a major organisational advantage, particularly for companies with multiple production areas or sites. Instead of asking individual staff members for the latest readings, those in charge can monitor the status of the relevant systems centrally.
A typical challenge in larger production facilities is not just the individual measurement value. The challenge lies in maintaining an overview of all machines and understanding how the values are changing. Mabanol Connect centrally visualises machines, systems, tanks and the associated measurement values, whilst allowing historical data to be stored and analysed as trends. This transforms individual measurement points into a clear picture of the emulsion's condition.
For example, a production manager can see at a glance:
This transforms emulsion monitoring from a collection of individual measurements into a structured process that enables proactive emulsion management and keeps the emulsions stable in the long term.
A measurement only provides real benefit if the result can lead to action. That is why Mabanol Connect has an alert function. Notifications are sent out in the event of deviations in measured values. This means that the person in charge does not have to constantly monitor every single machine. Instead, the system helps to draw attention specifically to unusual values – such as a falling pH value.
The aim is not simply to document problems more quickly. The aim is to detect deviations before they lead to major process issues.
This is because changes in relevant emulsion parameters affect process stability, tool life and workpiece quality. This is precisely what the monitoring concept is designed to achieve: deviations should be identified at an early stage, before these factors are compromised and, for example, the emulsion breaks down.
Emulsion management is not just about production. It is also about documentation. Regular checks, traceable measurements and operational documentation processes play a particularly important role when it comes to water-based coolants. In practice, this often involves a considerable amount of work. Measurement records must be completed, archived, checked and retrieved when necessary. It is not uncommon for different files and forms to be created in parallel for production, health and safety.
Mabanol Connect helps to record this information centrally and keep it readily available. This not only allows current measurement values to be viewed, but also reveals trends over weeks or months. The complete history can be accessed at any time via the dashboard. Furthermore, Mabanol Connect automatically sends an emulsion status report after every measurement.
If an emulsion concentration measurement reveals that the concentration is too high or too low, the system must be readjusted. Mabanol Connect supports this process with a built-in refill calculator.
To maintain a stable emulsion concentration over the long term, we recommend using a Mabanol CoolMatic system for fully automated emulsion refill.
The Mabanol Connect platform is part of the Mabanol Smart Fluid 360 system. Within this system, various components of emulsion management can be linked together:
“The integration of the CoolMatic system and the Detect sensors has revolutionised our emulsion management. In the Connect Dashboard, we can see just how consistently stable the emulsion is running now.”

Emulsion monitoring refers to the systematic monitoring of relevant parameters of an emulsion. These may include, for example, concentration, pH value, temperature, nitrite level, water hardness and fill level. The aim is to detect changes at an early stage and to document emulsion processes in a traceable manner.
Mabanol Connect is the digital emulsion management platform within the Mabanol Smart Fluid 360 system. It is used to record, visualise and document relevant emulsion parameters.
Yes. Mabanol Connect is designed to display plant, tanks and measurement readings centrally on a dashboard.
Yes. Manual measurements can still be carried out and then recorded digitally. QR codes or NFC tags on machines make it easier to match them up.
When used in conjunction with Mabanol Detect, sensor readings can be displayed seamlessly in Mabanol Connect. This allows manually recorded data and real-time sensor readings to be consolidated within a single platform.
Yes. The data can be viewed via the web-based dashboard from any location. Access is available via a web browser or the app, both on site and whilst on the move.
The platform features an intelligent alert function. In the event of deviations in measured values, notifications are sent via the dashboard, as well as by email or push notification.
Mabanol Connect supports the structured recording and historical documentation of relevant emulsion measurement values and is designed to meet standard reporting and EHS requirements. This does not affect the specific operational checks, risk assessments and measures that are required.
