Real-time multi-parameter monitor for metal-working systems

A real-time, multi-parameter fluid monitoring system comprising:

• a first probe comprising a pH sensor and an oxidation reduction potential sensor;
• a second probe comprising fluid concentration sensor;
• a supply line configured to extract a portion of a coolant from a sump;
• a return line configured to return the portion of the coolant to the sump;
• a fluid monitoring apparatus configured to direct the portion of the coolant to the first probe and to the second probe, the fluid monitoring apparatus in fluid communication with the supply line and the return line;
• a sensor data processor configured to receive measurements from the first probe and the second probe and to determine parameters associated with the respective sensors;
• and
• a server configured to receive the determine parameters from the sensor data processor, the server configured to provide the determined parameters to one or more remote devices over a network interface.
