Over 80% of rotating machine failures—in pumps, compressors, fans, gearboxes, and CNC spindles—originate from bearing fatigue, shaft misalignment, or unbalance. When these mechanical defects begin, they produce high-frequency microscopic vibrations that are completely undetectable by human touch or sound. If left unmonitored, the defect progresses along the P-F (Potential to Failure) curve, generating destructive heat and audible screeching just hours before the bearing seizes completely, destroying shafts, housings, and tooling.
Periodic manual vibration measurement with handheld vibration pens once a month is insufficient. If lubrication breaks down or contamination enters a bearing two days after the technician leaves, the machine fails catastrophically before the next scheduled inspection.
Real-time vibration monitoring requires processing high-frequency dynamic signals (0 to 10 kHz), calculating RMS velocity in compliance with ISO 10816 standards, extracting high-frequency bearing acceleration enveloping (gE), and dispatching actionable fault classifications to maintenance technicians.
Our platform connects industrial accelerometers and velocity transmitters to PLC analog inputs or dedicated condition monitoring modules (such as IFM VSE, Siemens SIPLUS CMS). The edge analytics engine continuously computes overall RMS vibration velocity (mm/s) according to ISO 10816 standards and bearing acceleration enveloping (g). When vibration exceeds permissible baseline limits, alerts specifying the probable mechanical fault (unbalance, misalignment, or bearing degradation) are dispatched to maintenance teams.

Piezo Accelerometer → Condition Monitoring Module → Edge Vibration Engine → ISO 10816 Evaluation → Instant Fault Alert & SAP PM Ticket
Converts reactive emergency breakdowns into planned condition-based maintenance, eliminating catastrophic equipment failure and slashing spare parts inventory costs.
Built for high-speed industrial environments where downtime is measured in seconds.
Automatically maps overall RMS vibration velocity (mm/s) to ISO 10816 machine classifications (Class I, II, III, IV), providing objective Good, Acceptable, Unsatisfactory, and Unacceptable alarm thresholds.
Demodulates high-frequency stress waves generated by microscopic impacts in rolling elements, alerting technicians to bearing defect frequencies (BPFO, BPFI, BSF, FTF) months before failure.
Tracks 1X and 2X rotational speed vibration peaks in real time, alerting maintenance to shaft misalignment, loose couplings, or rotor mass unbalance.
Suppresses false alarms by linking vibration thresholds to machine operating states (e.g., higher vibration during initial cutting pass or speed ramps is factored into dynamic deadbands).
Automatically creates corrective maintenance notifications in SAP PM or the plant CMMS when vibration persists in the Warning band for longer than a configured interval.
Direct compatibility with leading global industrial automation and ERP ecosystems.
How data seamlessly flows from top-floor enterprise orders to shop-floor machine feedback.
Piezoelectric accelerometers mounted on bearing housings capture high-frequency acceleration signals with sampling rates up to 20 kHz.
The condition monitoring module calculates overall RMS vibration velocity (10 to 1000 Hz) and applies bandpass filtering for bearing impact demodulation.
Vibration levels are compared against ISO 10816 standards matched to machine horsepower, foundation rigidity, and current machine running speed.
When vibration exceeds thresholds, the system determines the probable failure mechanism and dispatches an actionable alert to the mechanical maintenance crew.
The maintenance technician replaces the bearing or balances the rotor; post-repair vibration readings are logged to verify that vibration has returned to baseline Green.
