Gastops Launches FluidSIGHT™ Real-Time Oil Condition Monitoring System
Press Release
OTTAWA, ON, April 20, 2026 /CNW/ - Gastops, a global leader in intelligent condition monitoring solutions, today announced the launch of FluidSIGHT™, a real-time oil condition monitoring system designed to provide continuous insight into engine health across marine and industrial applications.
FluidSIGHT™ is now available for deployment, enabling operators to move from periodic oil sampling to continuous, real-time monitoring. Installed directly in the oil line, the system provides immediate visibility into oil condition, contamination, and wear - helping detect issues earlier, reduce unplanned downtime, and support more efficient maintenance planning. By bringing laboratory-grade oil analysis onboard, FluidSIGHT™ eliminates delays associated with traditional oil sampling and lab testing, giving operators faster access to the information they need to act.
"FluidSIGHT™ makes critical insights available in real time, directly where decisions are made," said Shaun Horning, CEO at Gastops. "It enables operators to identify developing issues earlier, prioritize maintenance more effectively, and operate with greater confidence."
Early deployments across marine applications have demonstrated the system's ability to detect changes in oil condition and emerging issues in real time, supporting improved reliability and operational efficiency.
Designed for ease of integration, FluidSIGHT™ can be retrofitted to a wide range of engine types and installed on in-service assets with minimal disruption. Gastops is currently engaging with early adopters across the marine sector and expanding deployment opportunities.
Gastops will be showcasing FluidSIGHT™ at Booth G13 during Singapore Maritime Week 2026 (April 21-23).

Just to provide some additional info, the company has been doing inline particle monitoring for over 30 years now and are among the best in the world at what they do. When I was working there, they developed and were manufacturing the oil monitoring sensor for the F-35.
This sounds really neat, and I wonder when it will be compact cost effective enough to incorporate into lighter duty engines, like light and medium trucks. Oh man, a fleet manager can only currently dream of having that level of feedback and warning about major engine failure... Engines we were replacing for $7k 8 years ago are now costing $15 to 20k to replace.
