Condition Monitoring
Vibration monitoring of rotating machinery using wired and wireless sensors — early detection of bearing and gear damage for predictive maintenance.

What is it?
Condition monitoring via vibration analysis is the continuous or periodic acquisition of vibration data from rotating machinery. Analyzing characteristic vibration patterns detects defects such as imbalances, bearing damage, or misalignments early — before they lead to costly failures.
Why does it matter?
Rotating machines are the heart of industrial plants. Their unplanned failures cause not only direct repair costs but also production interruptions with high consequential costs. Vibration monitoring enables predictive maintenance and maximizes the availability of your critical equipment.
