Fluid Intelligence:
Driving the Future of Industry
As the world of manufacturing and industry
moves into the fourth industrial
revolution, Quaker Houghton* is leading
the push forward. Uniquely experts in their eld,
the newly formed leader continually drives
change, now more than ever.
Following a merger in the summer of 2019,
Quaker Houghton is now the world leader in the
supply of industrial uids and lubricants for all
metal production applications. Quaker
Houghton’s Fluid Intelligence offering cements the
brand’s standing and clearly communicates its
offering globally.
Fluid Intelligence is comprised of four key
offers: Expertise, Services, Equipment and
Chemicals. What these provide Quaker
Houghton’s clients are: Compliance, Cost
Ef ciency, Productivity and an assurance of Best
Practice.
Providing additional value to its best-in-class
uid portfolio, Quaker Houghton’s equipment
includes QH FLUIDCONTROL™, QH
FLUIDWORKER™ and QH FLUIDMIX™. Each of
these standalone units can be seamlessly
integrated into any factory set-up and work, either
as individual units or as a complete network, to
improve uid consumption and quality.
Industry 4.0 and the new generation of
industrial development requires manufacturers to
think differently about the way they operate and
create solutions to problems that suit their
speci c needs, allowing them to perform at their
best. To support this, Quaker Houghton offers the
QH FLUIDTREND™, which collects and stores uid
maintenance data, including analytical results for
each machine, and allows in-depth
cost analysis and usage
trends with one click.
As the ultimate in
turnkey solutions, Fluid
Intelligence provides
manufacturers with access
to the cutting edge in
everything they need to
enhance and optimise
their processes in an
entirely bespoke fashion.
Since every operation has
its unique characteristics,
a customisable solution is
proven to provide the best
return on investment,
brought about by
dramatic improvements in
capabilities and
operational performance.
Headed by EMEA
business development
director Lee Bowditch,
and with champions
across the EMEA, Fluid Intelligence also involves
the training of client staff, as well as the future
generation of engineers.
With the creation of two Fluid Intelligence
Academies in Blackburn, UK, and Zafra, Spain,
the offering extends to knowledge transfer and
into the realm of upskilling of employees.
“During times of economic uncertainty, it’s
important for us to support our partner clients
and their industries with means that can help
them prepare for what may come. The Fluid
Intelligence Academy enables us to do this,
as a dual-purpose facility that’ll help drive
down manufacturers’ costs, whilst investing
in the education of our future engineers to
come,” says Lee Bowditch.
Through the Fluid Intelligence
programme, Quaker Houghton has
partnered with a number of sector-leading
OEMs in order to provide its clients with
access to not only their own tailored
products but everything they could
possibly need to ensure performance
gains are achieved.
