Common Applications
Customer Reactions to Fluke Connect
On Efficiency & Assistance…
“I'm often on my own. I'm only 26 years old so
I'm not very experienced like older
colleagues… It would be great [to be able to]
send something to my manager so we could
discuss the problem directly.”
Fluke Company Confidential 9
Customer Reactions to Fluke Connect
On Cost Savings…
“This is a time saving device and an
organizational tool. It takes the redundancy
out of my work, saves time in my day, and
streamlines my work. I can’t hire people...
With this, I won’t need 4 guys… You can’t
put a price on that!”

“I want to see the whole picture
(e.g., all the measurement data)
when I’m out there, not at my
computer.”

Make decisions quickly by viewing all measurements for a
piece of equipment - thermal, mechanical, electrical and
vibration - in one location.
Compare measurements to baselines to easily identify
problems.
Never lose valuable historical maintenance data with secure
cloud back up.
“We often want to log measurements from energized loads to
identify problems, but have been limited by safety concerns. We
can set up the Fluke Connect modules at the load and then
move a safe distance away or even out of the building and view
the results on a smart phone.”
