We are actively shaping the future of cooling lubricant management – with our hybrid approach

In modern production, efficiency is crucial in coolant management, among other things. At GIMAT, we have developed a forward-looking approach: Hybrid automation in cooling lubricant fluid management. We are pioneers of this concept. Wikipedia already describes our approach as the most economical way for small and medium-sized companies to manage cooling lubricant fluids – an endorsement that we are very pleased about.

To consolidate our leading role in this area, we have registered our “hybridPioneers” claim as a trademark with the German Patent and Trademark Office.

GIMAT is also a co-developer of DOSIMETRIX, the integrated solution for coolant supply. With our many years of expertise in measurement technology and as a certified ATAGO Service Center, we offer you sound and reliable solutions from a single source. We work closely with Brisco Systems GmbH (hardware solutions) and SDNORD (with the powerful FLUIDAS software), bringing hybrid solutions such as the DOSIMETRIX to the market.

Special thanks to Lars Löhner from FLUIDAS and Jürgen Gosch from Brisco and their teams for their excellent cooperation and valuable contribution to this project!

New on Wikipedia: GIMAT coins the term “hybrid automation” in cooling lubricant management (KSS)

We are delighted that the term “hybrid automation” has found its way into Wikipedia – GIMAT is cited as the source. Clear proof of our pioneering work in the automation of cooling lubricant fluid management!

Thanks to all our colleagues who have helped us to coin this term in the field of cooling lubricants.

What are your thoughts on “hybrid automation” and “human-in-the-loop” in KSS? We look forward to hearing your views!

Cooling lubricants: Automatically achieve the perfect coolant emulsion with smartFusion technology

Mixing water and oil to create a stable cooling lubricant emulsion is a critical step in metalworking. Many companies have been using Venturi or proportional mixers for years – but the concentration has to be set manually.

However, modern fluid management demands more:

  • Automatic setting of the target concentrations
  • Optimal droplet size
  • Homogeneous oil distribution
  • Real-time control and system integration

However, conventional technology cannot be used in mixing devices with automatically regulated cooling lubricant concentration. Brisco Systems, the Swiss developer and manufacturer of smartFusion technology and the eMix1500, has consistently implemented the high requirements for automatic mixing and is thus setting new standards:

  • Almost perfect emulsion formation with very high dispersion quality
  • Long-term stability without segregation
  • Precise concentration control in real time
  • Integration in hybrid or fully automated
  • Fluid management solutions

The perfect emulsion is now created automatically.
The eMix1500 is the new reference for intelligent coolant mixing.

GIMAT is an official sales partner of Brisco Systems in Germany and brings this technology directly into your production.

Hybrid automation for cooling lubricants – the new way

We believe that we need to rethink coolant fluid management. We often come across the terms “manual” and “fully automatic” when it comes to measuring, dosing, mixing and documenting cooling lubricants.

What if there was a third way?

A path that not only integrates technology, but also consciously focuses on people in certain areas, with their actions, their experience and their flexibility. A path that will allow digital intelligence in the future without expensive full automation?

We call this approach hybrid automation.

It’s more than a system – it’s a way of thinking. A new way for humans, machines and data to work together. We are convinced that anyone who thinks hybrid automation is thinking about the future.

  • A specialist article will be published shortly.
  • A white paper will follow.

We look forward to exchanges, perspectives and co-creators.

New On-Site Service for ATAGO RX Laboratory Refractometers

We at the ATAGO Service Center Germany, operated by GIMAT Liquid Monitoring, are pleased to introduce our new on-site service for the calibration of RX laboratory refractometers.

Many customers do not want to part with their devices for verification and calibration or deal with the cumbersome process of shipping. In response to high demand from users of the ATAGO RX series, we are now offering this service across the entire DACH and BENELUX region.

Our highly qualified technicians come directly to you. This results in only minimal downtime and eliminates the risk of transport damage. Benefit from our first-class service!

New European Logistics and Technical Center for Sentek Soil Moisture ProbesNeues Europäisches Logistik- und Technikzentrum für Sentek Bodenfeuchtesonden

Sentek, a leading manufacturer of soil moisture sensors headquartered in Australia, is part of the globally active Plasson Group. We are pleased to announce that Plasson will now consolidate the logistics and technical support for its European distributors within Plasson Italia Srl.

What does this mean for the German market? Everything remains the same: GIMAT will continue to be your competent contact for all products from SENTEK. Please continue to place your orders with us.

However, you will now benefit from shorter delivery times, as many items will in the future be available for shipment from stock in Italy. We are therefore excited to be able to serve the market even better in the future.

For further questions, please feel free to contact me: volker.koschay@gimat.de

New: Simultaneous Measurement of Brix and Salt Content in Soy Sauce

GIMAT GmbH is the only authorized and certified ATAGO Service Center in Germany. You can purchase all devices from the ATAGO product range at GIMAT. We also provide expert support for inspections, calibrations, or repairs.

ATAGO, as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of refractometers, is distinguished by its innovative strength. This ensures that there is a suitable device available for a wide spectrum of applications.

Just a few days ago, a measuring instrument specifically developed for soy sauce was launched on the market for food and culinary preparation, which allows for the simultaneous measurement of concentration and salt content. Consistent flavor is a crucial success factor in industrial food production as well as in the gastronomy sector.

The measurement is performed simply, without any dilution. With just the press of a button, the values are automatically calculated and displayed.
