1. A method for substance analysis in machine performance diagnostic, comprising:
receiving a substance sample of a fluid or of a liquid by a measurement unit, said substance sample being obtained from a machine being inspected to which the measurement unit is removably connected and through which the fluid or the liquid flows;
detecting properties of the received substance sample by means of a variety of sensors of
the measurement unit;
repeating the receiving and the detecting over a fluid or liquid cycle the substance flows
through the machine once;
preprocessing the detected properties to determine relevant data;
transmitting the determined relevant data to an analytics module of a data management unit;
performing an analysis on said relevant data according to predefined analysis rules or a machine learning algorithm by the data management unit;
generating control instructions based on the analysis; and
providing the control instructions as an output.
