Insatech Marine helps customers prevent costly failures with Parker’s DIGI Plus Test Kits – an easy on-site solution for oil condition monitoring, including testing water in oil, TBN, viscosity, and insolubles.
Maintenance Without Insight
Across industries, our customers faced a familiar and frustrating challenge: They didn't have a reliable or efficient way to check the condition of their lubrication oils – no proper oil analysis system, no visibility, and no real-time oil monitoring.
Whether operating ships, wind turbines, heavy industrial machinery, or servicing customer equipment in the lab, they were often left asking:
- Is the oil’s ability to protect and lubricate the engine reduced?
- Is this oil still safe to use?
- Is water or contamination causing wear we can’t see yet?
- Can we trust our equipment to keep running until the next service interval?
Sending oil samples to external laboratories was time-consuming and expensive. Worse, it delayed critical decisions, sometimes resulting in unplanned downtime, premature oil changes, or even avoidable damage to equipment – all due to lack of reliable oil condition monitoring systems.
Bringing Oil Analysis On-Site
To solve these challenges, Insatech Marine introduced the Parker DIGI+ Test Kit to customers across the world. This portable, user-friendly kit enables customers to measure vital oil parameters directly on-site, with no need for lab technicians or long wait times.
Instead of guessing, customers could now:
- Detect water in oil before corrosion sets in
- Get a rapid indication of TBN (Total Base Number) depletion, helping assess whether the lubricant can still neutralize acids and protect engine components – a key step in lube oil analysis
- Check viscosity, acid number (AN), and insolubles - all with a few simple steps
- Get clear pass/fail indications with digital instructions and results
- Make confident decisions in just a few minutes.
Real-World Impact Across Industries
Over the past years, Insatech Marine has delivered more than 40 DIGI+ kits annually to customers in sectors such as:
- Marine & Offshore: Engineers on board vessels use the DIGI+ kit as part of their oil condition monitoring system, testing fuel and lube oils regularly, detecting water and acidity before they cause wear or engine fouling. The test kits allow crews to take action instantly instead of waiting for shore-based lab results.
- Renewable Energy: In wind farms, where turbines are often located in remote areas, maintenance teams now use the DIGI+ to test grease and oils in gearboxes. The result: a compact, field-ready tool for real-time oil condition monitoring, reducing guesswork and breakdowns.
- Service Providers & Laboratories: Oil analysis labs use the kit as part of their daily testing routines. The kit allows them to deliver faster results to their customers and expand their services without complex setups.
Customer Benefits at a Glance
- Less downtime through earlier detection of oil problems
- Fewer unnecessary oil changes
- Better maintenance planning with trend data and clear oil measurement results
- Simple, fast testing in any environment
- Confidence in daily decisions - no lab required
- Optimize engine lubrication by adjusting the oil feed rate based on condition.

“Before we had the DIGI+ kit, we often made oil changes based on fixed intervals, not actual oil condition. If we wanted to test, we had to send samples to an onshore laboratory, which meant arranging transport to land and then waiting weeks for results. Now we test on-site and only change oil when it’s needed. It’s saved us time, money, and helped us catch problems before they get serious.”

The Result: Informed Maintenance Decisions, Wherever You Are
With the DIGI+ Test Kit, our customers turned oil analysis into a routine, reliable part of their daily operations. No delays. No guesswork. Just fast, accurate results they can trust.
