THE RESULTS

What changed with AUTOPILOT

ROI reached
5 wks
Return on investment in about five weeks.
Less concentrate
10%
At least 10% lower concentrate consumption.
Saved weekly
2h+
At least two hours of refilling saved per department each week.
Longer tool life
Coolant at the right concentration extends tool service life.
Cleaner machines
More consistent coolant means visibly cleaner machines.

Fraisa is a Swiss manufacturer of precision cutting tools for demanding industries. In its application and test center, 6 CNC machines needed constant coolant top-ups. After installing Liquidtool AUTOPILOT, the team reached ROI in about five weeks, cut coolant concentration consumption by at least 10%, and saved several hours of manual refilling every week.

The Challenge

Manual top-ups across the test center

The application and test center runs six CNC machines that all rely on well-managed coolant. Keeping them topped up by hand was tedious, time-consuming work.

The team kept running into the same problems:

  • Manual top-ups took 15 to 20 minutes per CNC machine every week
  • Hoses disconnected from the drums, flooding the floor
  • Concentration measured with a hand refractometer was more of an estimate
  • The whole process was prone to errors

" We used to spend 15 to 20 minutes per machine every week just refilling coolant by hand. Now that's automated, and we're already seeing 10% less concentrate use."

The Solution

AUTOPILOT and MANAGER take over the top-ups

Fraisa equipped the test center with Liquidtool AUTOPILOT. It automatically monitors and tops up the coolant across all 6 CNC machines, keeping concentration and fill level in the target range without manual work.

The Liquidtool MANAGER gives the team a single overview of every machine, with all data in one dashboard. No more disconnected hoses, no more refractometer guesswork.
