Wireless machine condition monitoring
Combined vibration and temperature sensors
Wireless vibration and temperature monitoring Industrial IoT solution
Abnormal vibrations or high temperatures give early signs of machine failure due component imbalance, misalignment, wear or improper use of equipment. Those can be now effortlessly identified without manual measurements or expensive wired equipment to increase machine uptime and extend mean time between failures.
We supply a smart industrial IoT measurement solution for condition monitoring applications. The system consists of wireless battery powered industrial sensor nodes and an IoT Gateway for communication to transmit data to the cloud.

Repairs and reactive maintenance
Manufacturing companies are dependent on heavy machinery on-site, but also accross large distances and sometimes at remote locations. These machines like: pumps, turbines, boilers and conveyors, need to be maintained. Manhours are invested for engineers to stay on-site all the time. Even then machines will break down over time. Repairs and reactive maintenance must be carried out by the engineers. Management and maintenance of machines are crucial for manufacturing industries. Investments in new advanced machinery are huge and depreciation costs are high. Machine faults and operational stoppages cost companies incredible sums of money. The longer the downtime and the bigger the company, the greater the revenue loss and operating cost. To maintain and even improve efficiency predictive maintenance is essential.
Condition monitoring
Condition monitoring is the process of monitoring a particular condition in machinery such as for instance vibration and temperature to identify changes that could indicate a developing fault. It is a major part of predictive maintenance as implementing condition monitoring allows for maintenance to be scheduled and preventive actions taken to prevent damage, future failure and subsequent unplanned downtime of the machinery. Condition monitoring with vibration sensors is one of the most innovative ways that businesses and manufacturing companies can save money. The techniques are used on a range of equipment, including rotating machinery, auxiliary systems and parts such as compressors, pumps, motors and presses.

From mesh to any cloud platform
The wireless IoT monitoring system consists of a network
of sensor nodes, which can send their data via an IoT
gateway to any computer network or cloud platform. The wireless mesh network guarantees easy, cost efficient deployment and continuous monitoring of tens or hundreds of machines.
We offer two different nodes: the industrial sensor nodes measure and monitor tri-axial vibrations and surface temperature of (rotating) equipment, such as pumps, motors, agitators and mixers. The ambient nodes monitor air quality,
temperature, humidity, ambient light, noise level and
air pressure.
The wireless battery-operated nodes can be easily and cost-efficiently mounted on existing equipment, but can also be part of large-scale mesh networks for collecting.
