Smart Coolant Management for Modern Manufacturing
Liquidtool AutoPilot is an advanced automated coolant management system designed to maintain perfect coolant concentration. As a Certified Liquidtool Partner, Filtration Service Engineering (FSE) supplies, installs and supports Liquidtool systems throughout the UK.
Designed for aerospace, automotive and high-precision machining environments, Liquidtool AutoPilot delivers smart coolant management with limited manual intervention, improved process stability and measurable cost savings.
If you are looking to reduce coolant waste, improve tool life and digitise your coolant management processes, AutoPilot provides a proven solution.
What Is Liquidtool AutoPilot?
Liquidtool AutoPilot is a modular, cloud-connected coolant management system that automatically measures, monitors and adjusts coolant concentration, level and temperature in each connected machine.
Using integrated sensors, precision refractometers and intelligent control software, the system ensures that every machine tank is always topped up with the correct mix – 24/7.
The result is:
- Stable coolant concentration
- Reduced manual intervention
- Consistent machining performance
- Lower coolant consumption
- Increased tool life
As a global leader in automated coolant management systems, Liquidtool combines IIoT connectivity with robust hardware to deliver a scalable, Industry 4.0-ready solution.

Benefits of Automated Coolant Management
Liquidtool AutoPilot consists of intelligent, connected components that work together to deliver fully automated coolant management:
1. Up to 40% Reduction in Coolant Usage
By maintaining precise coolant concentration, AutoPilot can reduce coolant consumption by up to 40%. UK customer Moog has already achieved significant savings, with a case study coming soon.
2. Improved Process Stability
Consistent coolant concentration reduces scrap, prevents fluctuations and protects machining quality.
3. Extended Tool Life
Correct coolant concentration directly supports longer tool life and fewer unexpected failures.
4. Reduced Manual Labour
Automated measurement and refill can save up to an hour per shift, freeing skilled operators to focus on higher-value tasks.
5. Health & Safety Improvements
Stable coolant conditions reduce misting, contamination risks and unnecessary operator exposure.
Liquidtool Autopilot maintains a stable coolant mix
AutoPilot uses built-in sensors to sample and analyse coolant with precision refractometers and thermometers. It monitors tank levels continuously and keeps concentrate supply in check, resulting in consistent coolant concentration and performance. The chart below shows a comparison between manual coolant concentration management and Liquidtool Autopilot over a 30-day period.

Frequently asked questions about Liquidtool Automated Coolant Management Systems
To install the Liquidtool Sensor 01 you will need:
- An internet connection (WLAN or Ethernet)
- A power supply
- A suitable mounting location on or near the coolant tank
The sensor can typically be installed magnetically on the outside of the coolant tank, making installation simple and non-intrusive.
Before installation, it is recommended to review the Liquidtool site readiness checklist to ensure all requirements are met.
The Liquidtool Sensor 01 is designed specifically for water-miscible metalworking coolants, which are widely used in CNC machining, milling, turning and grinding applications.
The system continuously monitors coolant condition to ensure it remains within the correct operating parameters, helping maintain machining quality and extend coolant life.
For fully automated coolant monitoring, one Liquidtool sensor should be installed for each machine coolant sump.
However, the Liquidtool Manager platform also allows users to manually add additional machines and record manual measurements where sensors are not installed. This allows companies to manage coolant monitoring across their entire facility within one system.
Liquidtool is designed with secure data handling and privacy protection in mind. Data collected by the Liquidtool coolant monitoring system is used solely for monitoring coolant condition and improving coolant management performance.
When Liquidtool is supplied and supported by FSE, customer information and system data are handled in accordance with both the FSE privacy policy and Liquidtool’s own privacy policy.
You can arrange a demonstration of the Liquidtool coolant monitoring system through FSE.
A demo allows you to see how the system works, understand the benefits for your machining processes and explore how Liquidtool can support improved coolant management across your facility.

Yes. Liquidtool can be installed on both new and existing CNC machines.
Because the sensor mounts externally and connects through a standard network connection, it can be easily retrofitted to most machine tools without major modification.
This makes it a practical upgrade for manufacturers looking to improve coolant management without replacing equipment.
