EVERETT, Wash. (August 29 2023; Fluke Reliability release) — Fluke Reliability, which empowers reliability and maintenance teams with the hardware, software and services they need to optimize asset performance, has acquired Washington-based Azima DLI, a market leader in subscription-based remote condition monitoring and AI-powered vibration analytics software.
Azima DLI's solution enables industrial businesses to increase asset uptime, reduce reactive, and unnecessary preventive maintenance, optimize manufacturing operations and asset health while maximizing revenue through accurate, predictive insights.
Their Watchman 360 vibration analytics platform detects specific faults, predicts time-to-failure and recommends corrective action. With the most advanced automated diagnostic engine on the market, their solution has been developed over 30-plus years and analyses up to 93% of machine tests without human intervention. The algorithm filters out issues that don't need expert analysis, helping industrial teams prioritize during the current skills shortage.
The acquisition includes their remote condition monitoring solution, where a team of Azima DLI experts perform complex vibration analysis. The analysis provides teams with reports on maintenance actions, enhancing operations, reducing downtime/cost and alleviating teams that are expertise constrained or operating with reduced headcount.
This announcement means Fluke Reliability is further poised to help customers shift from reactive, low fidelity, low-volume analysis into advanced and scalable predictive maintenance and reliability programs. It reinforces its strategic commitment to advancing connected reliability while continuing to bring innovative solutions to customers, harnessing the transformational potential of artificial intelligence and innovative SaaS technology.
Fluke Reliability president Ankush Malhotra commented: "This business will empower our customers with cutting-edge vibration diagnostic capabilities that revolutionize operations, optimize productivity, and enable data-driven decision-making. It is a natural fit for us as we continue to support businesses on their predictive maintenance and connected reliability journey and is a significant step forward in our promise to drive our customers' growth and success in the industry."
Joe Van Dyke, vice president of engineering for Azima DLI commented: "We are incredibly proud of this best-in-class vibration analytics and remote condition monitoring platform. As part of Fluke Reliability, we are excited to see more businesses benefit from our solution, work with their existing customer base, and penetrate new industries - increasing uptime and efficiencies.”
Azima DLI is a predictive maintenance industry leader in scalable, hosted, predictive condition monitoring services. Their innovative products deliver peak reliability, availability and uptime. DLI Engineering was founded in 1966, acquired by Azima in 2008 to establish the Azima DLI reliability-as-a-service system, and then purchased by SymphonyAI in 2019.
