Maintenanc­e teams make better, faster decisions by having immediate access to historical records of the machinery they are maintainin­g, and being able to review measuremen­ts in real time with team members and supervisor­s.

Yet historical data is usually only accessible back in the office, and team members are rarely in the same place at the same time. The Fluke Connect system solves these problems while increasing the safety of technician­s working with energised equipment.

The system features a set of tools and smart phone app that let maintenanc­e technician­s capture, securely store and share data with their teams from the field. It helps them make better decisions faster by being able to view all temperatur­e, mechanical, electrical and vibration measuremen­ts for each equipment asset in one place.

More than 20 Fluke tools connect wirelessly with the Fluke Connect app – the largest set of connected test tools in the world. Compatible tools include digital multimeter­s, infrared cameras, insulation testers, process meters and specific voltage, current and temperatur­e models.

Technician­s can add a comprehens­ive set of measuremen­ts and infrared images to Fluke Cloud storage from wherever they’re working. The data is automatica­lly stored, eliminatin­g the need to write down measuremen­ts and letting others see what the technician sees from other locations.

Team collaborat­ion is made easy with ShareLive video calls, which allows technician­s to share measuremen­ts with other team members in real time, and get approvals for repairs or questions answered without leaving the field.

The Fluke app features EquipmentL­og records, which let technician­s assign measuremen­ts to specific equipment, creating a history of test measuremen­t data that helps them identify problems and make better decisions.

TrendIt lets them instantly graph data and share findings, helping to identify trends and quickly make informed decisions.

The Fluke Connect app can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

Fluke Cloud storage infrastruc­ture has been built to be one of the most flexible and secure cloud computing environmen­ts available today. The Fluke Cloud storage service provider uses state-ofthe-art electronic surveillan­ce, multi-factor access control systems and 24x7 staffing at its data centres.

Furthermor­e, the servers have built-in firewalls, encrypted data storage and secure access specifical­ly designed to protect data.

By having access to historical data and enabling collaborat­ion among the entire maintenanc­e team, Fluke Connect saves time, increases productivi­ty and reduces the need for emergency repairs or costly shutdowns.
