Why Choose LOTUS
Real-Time Data Acquisition:
The LOTUS system delivers instant feedback on crucial oil quality parameters such as temperature, viscosity, density, and Total Base Number (TBN). This enables ship operators to stay ahead of potential issues and maintain machinery in peak condition, ensuring smooth operations even in the most demanding conditions.
Advanced Sensing Technology:
Featuring cutting-edge sensors, LOTUS precisely detects contamination indicators like moisture content, free water, and fuel dilution. Additionally, it monitors wear particles, including ferrous and non-ferrous debris, allowing for early detection of machinery wear and tear, thereby preventing costly breakdowns.
Durable Design for Marine Environments:
Built to withstand harsh maritime conditions, the LOTUS system is housed in an IP64- rated enclosure, offering protection against dust and water ingress. Constructed from high-grade materials like mild and stainless steel, it operates efficiently in a wide temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, making it resilient against the toughest environments at sea.
User-Friendly Interface:
The LOTUS control panel is designed with a clear digital display and a responsive touchscreen interface, making it easy to monitor key parameters and configure settings. The emergency stop button, and configurable alerts add an extra layer of operational safety, ensuring swift responses during critical situations.
Seamless Connectivity:
With built-in Ethernet, RS485 Modbus, and USB ports, LOTUS facilitates seamless data extraction and remote diagnostics. The system’s compatibility with Modbus RTU/TCP allows it to integrate smoothly with existing shipboard monitoring systems, ensuring that operators have access to real-time data, both onboard and ashore.
