Why It Matters

Unplanned failures cost more than maintenance ever will

Most rotating-equipment failures show measurable symptoms — vibration, temperature drift, acoustic signatures — long before breakdown. Catching them early is the single biggest lever for plant reliability.

Late detection

Bearing wear, misalignment and imbalance often go unseen until secondary damage forces an emergency shutdown.

Over-maintenance

Time-based maintenance replaces healthy parts and consumes labour and spares without adding reliability.

Blind spots

Remote, elevated or hazardous-area assets are inspected infrequently — manual rounds miss intermittent faults.

Wiring cost

Conventional online monitoring requires expensive cabling, junction boxes and shutdowns to install.

Layer 3 — Software

Health Monitoring Software

Statistics, alarm management and machinery health views designed for field engineers, reliability teams and plant managers.

Asset health monitoring dashboard with status pills, fault trend and machine health distribution

Asset Health Status

Live count of assets in Danger / Alarm / Warning / Normal states across the plant.

Fault Trend

Monthly and yearly fault trends to track reliability program effectiveness.

Machine Health Distribution

Health breakdown by department, area or asset class for quick triage.

Alarm Board

Unhandled and timed-out alarms surfaced for the engineer on shift.

Reports & Diagnostics

Medical-style asset reports, fault-case statistics and root-cause analysis.

Mobile & Email Alerts

SMS and email notifications routed to the right responder, with escalation.

Intelligent Diagnostics

Beyond static thresholds

Real machines run under variable load. Static high/low limits create nuisance alarms — or miss real ones. Our analytics adapt to operating context.

Dynamic Thresholds

Alarm bands learn from healthy operating envelopes per RPM, load and process state.

Alarm-Triggered DAQ

On alarm, sensors switch to high-resolution sampling so the diagnostic record is complete.

Priority Channel

Alarm packets are transmitted first over a green channel — even on constrained links.

Long-Time Waveform

Continuous waveform records correlate vibration with process load changes for clean root-cause analysis.

Fault Tagging

Bearing inner/outer race, imbalance, misalignment, looseness, gear-mesh and cavitation patterns are tagged automatically.

Operator Confirmation

Engineers can validate or reclassify diagnoses; the system learns from confirmed cases.

What We Monitor

Coverage across rotating-equipment classes

Pumps

Centrifugal, positive displacement, vertical turbine — bearings, cavitation, seal health.

Fans & Blowers

ID/FD fans, exhaust fans, cooling-tower fans — imbalance, blade fouling, bearing wear.

Motors

LT/HT induction motors — bearing condition, shaft alignment, thermal trending.

Compressors

Reciprocating and screw compressors — valve, bearing and lubrication monitoring.

Gearboxes

Gear-mesh defects, tooth wear, lubrication and bearing condition trending.

Conveyors & Centrifuges

Drive trains, idlers and high-speed centrifuges with fault and unbalance detection.
