The DualLab™ Concept
When one sample is not enough.
Critical mining assets often operate inside two condition-monitoring ecosystems: the mine owner/operator's reliability program and the OEM/dealer's service and warranty program. The problem is that two laboratories may receive samples collected at different times, under different machine conditions, or by different people.
DualLab™ changes the sampling event itself. A conditioned fluid loop feeds two synchronized SmartOil G3 sampling channels so both laboratories can receive representative samples captured from the same machine state and the same point in time.
Same machine state
Both samples originate from the same operating event rather than two unrelated manual pulls.
Two independent labs
Owner/operator and OEM/dealer laboratory pathways remain separate while the sample event stays aligned.
Same fluid source
The paired channels share a conditioned sampling loop for stronger sample-to-sample comparability.
One evidence chain
Timestamp, machine hours, sensor state and operating context can be associated with the sample event.
DualLab™ Architecture
Two bottles. Two destinations. One fluid event.
The G3 architecture can be configured for engine oil or hydraulic oil. Each application routes a conditioned, representative fluid stream to paired sampling channels and then to separate laboratory pathways.

Built for Evidence + Intelligence
Autonomous Fluid Intelligence™ with a physical sample at the moment it matters.
DualLab™ extends the SmartOil G3™ closed-loop reliability workflow. Continuous sensing establishes the operating trend. The G3 Edge-AI Brain™ watches for abnormal change. When a sampling event occurs, the system preserves physical fluid evidence that can be evaluated independently by both parties.
01
Paired, synchronized sampling
Two autonomous sample channels are triggered from the same conditioned fluid source to improve comparability between laboratories.
04
G3 Edge-AI Brain™
Fluid condition, machine state and environmental context can be evaluated onboard the asset to detect deviation close to the source.
02
Programmed sample cadence
Routine samples can be collected by machine hours, calendar schedule or another user-defined maintenance interval.
05
Sample-event metadata
The event record can associate time, machine hours, fluid conditions and selected operating context with the physical sample.
03
Exception Sampling™
An abnormal rate-of-change or sensor-fusion event can trigger an immediate physical sample instead of waiting for the next scheduled interval.
06
Reduced live-work exposure
Autonomous collection reduces repetitive manual sampling around hot, pressurized or operating equipment and supports ELW objectives.
Clear operating boundaries
Warranty
Warranty disputes are often evidence disputes.
When a high-value engine or hydraulic component fails, the technical discussion may quickly expand beyond the failed part. Maintenance history, lubricant condition, sample quality, contamination control, operating context and the timing of abnormal events can all become important.
DualLab™ is designed to strengthen the technical record before a dispute exists—by making it easier for the owner/operator and the OEM/dealer to analyze paired samples from the same operating event.
DualLab™ does not create, extend or guarantee OEM warranty coverage. Warranty terms vary by product, application, jurisdiction and dealer/OEM agreement. Equipment under warranty should be reviewed with the OEM/dealer before installation, and the agreed sampling, maintenance and documentation procedures should remain controlling.
DualLab™ Architecture
Two bottles. Two destinations. One fluid event.
The G3 architecture can be configured for engine oil or hydraulic oil. Each application routes a conditioned, representative fluid stream to paired sampling channels and then to separate laboratory pathways.
Exception Sampling™
Do not wait for the calendar when the fluid says something changed.
A scheduled sample can confirm a trend. An exception sample can preserve the event. When the G3 Edge-AI Brain™ detects a meaningful deviation, DualLab™ can initiate the paired sampling sequence while the condition is occurring.
Sense
01
Continuously monitor selected fluid properties and machine context at operationally relevant intervals.
Detect
02
Identify abnormal absolute values, rates of change or multi-sensor condition patterns at the edge.
Sample
03
Trigger G3 channel A and channel B to capture paired physical samples from the same conditioned fluid event.
Corroborate
04
Route the bottles to separate laboratories and compare independent results against the same time-aligned operating record.

Physical Evidence + Digital Context
Two independent lab results become more useful when they share the same event context.
DualLab™ is not simply a second bottle. It is an architecture that connects physical sampling with the SmartOil G3 digital record. The result is a stronger bridge between real-time machine intelligence and recognized laboratory methods.
Sample integrity
Conditioned in-service fluid rather than an opportunistic drain sample.
Event timing
Routine, manual or exception-triggered collection.
Machine context
Operating hours and selected sensor data associated with the event.
Independent confirmation
Separate laboratory pathways without separating the sampling event.
