Graco Introduces Industry’s First Wirelessly Connected and Automated Fluid Management System for In-Field Equipment Servicing

Key Terms

ip69k technical

IP69K is an international durability rating showing a product is completely dust-tight and can endure high-pressure, high-temperature water jets used in heavy industrial washdowns. For investors, the rating signals lower risk of damage and downtime in harsh or regulated environments, which can reduce warranty costs, broaden sales into sectors that demand rigorous cleaning (for example food processing and automotive), and support premium pricing and longer product lifespans—think of it as industrial-grade waterproofing.

nfc technical

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range wireless technology that lets two devices exchange small amounts of data by being very close together — like tapping a phone to a payment terminal or another gadget. Investors care because NFC can enable contactless payments, access control, and simple device pairing, affecting a company’s product appeal, revenue streams, partnership opportunities, and the pace of customer adoption.

cloud database technical

A cloud database is a system for storing and retrieving a company's data on remote servers accessed over the internet, where the provider manages the hardware and basic software instead of the user. Think of it as renting a secure, always-available filing cabinet that can grow or shrink as needed; for investors, it matters because adoption affects recurring revenue, cost structure, scalability, and risk exposure for both database providers and the businesses that rely on them.

Pulse Mobile tracks fluid dispensing from lube and service trucks to help equipment dealers and owners account for every ounce, reduce waste, and simplify field operations

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Graco Inc., a global leader in fluid and powder handling technologies, is helping heavy equipment dealers and owners more accurately track and bill maintenance fluids dispensed in the field with its new Pulse® Mobile™ fluid management system. Introduced this week at the CONEXPO 2026 show in Las Vegas, Pulse Mobile is the industry’s first wirelessly connected and automated fluid-tracking solution for field service.

In industries like mining, construction and logging, where equipment is serviced on the jobsite, fluid dispensing has historically been recorded manually, which leads to inventory discrepancies, lost revenue, and billing errors. Pulse Mobile automates this activity, capturing every ounce of fluid dispensed from a lube or service truck. Each ounce dispensed can also be assigned to specific assets, work orders, and service technicians to reduce waste and improve billing accuracy.

“Pulse Mobile extends the capabilities to the field that our trusted Pulse Pro platform delivers in the shop,” said Jake Elmer, global category lead for service and repair at Graco. “Now, service technicians can have confidence that every ounce of fluid dispensed for field equipment maintenance can be captured, accounted for, and tied to work performed, with no manual data recording required.”

Other benefits that equipment dealers and owners will realize with Pulse Mobile include:

Visibility across operations: Pulse Mobile uploads dispensing data to a cloud database. There, the mobile data can be consolidated with a user’s shop-based dispensing data from Graco’s Pulse Pro. This gives users a single view of their fluid inventory and dispensing activities across all their operations.

Reliable performance in challenging conditions: Pulse Mobile uses a ruggedized, IP69K-rated meter to track dispensing data in even the toughest remote environments. The meter is built to withstand vibration, weather, and heavy-duty use in the field.

Ease of adoption and use: Field teams can install and configure Pulse Mobile in one day, enabling rapid deployment with minimal disruption. Then, they simply enter a pin or flash an NFC tag to use it.

Introduced during the year of Graco’s 100th anniversary, Pulse Mobile reflects the company’s century-long commitment to solving real-world industry challenges – in the shop and in the field – with innovative, high-performance fluid management solutions.

Attendees at CONEXPO can also learn more, including expert consultations and live demos, by visiting the Graco booth (#C23018).
