Drop of knowledge #25
Welcome to the twenty-fifth edition of the Ecol Laboratory newsletter.
1. The Ecol Laboratory in 2025
In this edition of our newsletter, we invite you to read a brief summary of 2025 – a time of intensive development, new challenges and important achievements for Ecol Laboratory. We encourage you to read on and join us in recalling the most important events of the past year.
Drop of knowledge LIVE!
On 28–29 May, we held an open workshop entitled ‘LIVE Knowledge Sample!’, during which participants had the opportunity to visit our Oil Analysis Laboratory and deepen their knowledge of oil diagnostics. The event was attended by 40 people representing 25 companies. We would like to thank all participants for their active participation and commitment.
New equipment in the laboratory
In 2025, our laboratory was upgraded with, among other things, a modern breakdown voltage tester, a mineraliser and a gas chromatograph for DGA analysis, which increased the precision and scope of the tests performed.
Team certificates and achievements
In July, Emilia Chłodek, Darina Węglorz, Agnieszka Muras-Lipok, Anna Wowk, Katarzyna Gaszka and Marta Łatacz were the first in Poland to obtain LLA II international certificates issued by the International Council for Machinery Lubrication (ICML), confirming the highest level of competence in oil analysis and machine diagnostics.

New version of the Smart Ecol application
We have launched a new version (3.0) of the Smart Ecol application, which facilitates the management of oil analyses and access to test results in real time. The application is even more intuitive and functional, allowing you to make better decisions in terms of diagnostics and maintenance. More information: Smart Ecol application.

Grant for AI implementation at Ecol
We have received a grant from European Funds for the development of a new technology for the diagnostic process of engine oils using artificial intelligence (AI). Project: ‘Development of a new technology for the diagnostic process of engine oils using AI’.
‘Szutry Śląskie’ – gravel race
We don’t just sit in the laboratory. 😉 In October, the Ecol team took part in the final race of the ‘Szutry Śląskie’ series, combining their passion for sport with good fun and team building.
New projects: research into lubricants for robots, research for the defence sector
In 2025, our laboratory expanded its offer to include lubricant testing in industrial robots and services for the defence sector, tailored to the requirements of industries with the highest quality standards.

Training for customers
In 2025, we conducted several training courses for customers, both in-person and online. Participants deepened their knowledge of oil diagnostics, maintenance and lubricant analysis, and learned practical methods for extending the service life of equipment and reducing downtime in their plants.
