  • Easy PLC Integration: It is easier than ever to get data where you want it, seamlessly integrating with existing systems like PLCs, SCADA, and CMMS platforms.

  • Defect Classification Software: Advanced software takes vibration data insights to identify likely equipment rotational faults, enabling you to make informed, data-driven maintenance decisions.

  • IP69K Environmental Ratings: Built for the harshest industrial environments, this hardware withstands high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns, ensuring reliable performance.

  • Extended Line of Sight and Battery Life: Improved communication across larger plant footprints and optimized battery life to keep up with demanding schedules and reduce maintenance needs.

VBTx Sensors and Advanced Defect Classification 

VBTx vibration and temperature sensors provide data acquisition by continuously monitoring vibration and temperature data to detect early signs of equipment issues. Designed as wireless sensors for remote or harsh environments, they feature magnetic mounting for simple installation and an extended battery life of up to 10 years at sampling rates of once per hour. 

The integrated defect classification system elevates VBTx vibration analysis by identifying and diagnosing mechanical issues such as misalignments and bearing wear early in their development cycle. The Maintenance Hub vibration analysis toolset presents banded FFT data in a format familiar to vibration analysts. 

The system goes a step further by tying alarms and alerts directly to other vibration characteristics such as direction, frequency, and phase to classify defects. Understanding these issues in real-time allows maintenance teams to make better, data-driven decisions, targeting repairs before minor concerns develop into major failures.

Wireless I/O Portals 

Wireless I/O Portals enable complex asset monitoring by seamlessly integrating with third-party sensors, allowing monitoring on virtually any equipment process. Supporting diverse industry-standard input types - including 0-10V, 4-20mA, and RTDs - these portals transform wired sensors into wireless devices. 

Eliminate the need for extensive cabling by placing wireless I/O portals closer to your monitored equipment, enabling seamless data transmission from point A to point B. 

Their adaptable configuration supports various inputs and transducers, enhancing compatibility and flexibility across different industrial setups. This allows you to wirelessly gather the data you need, increasing efficiency and expanding your monitoring capabilities. 

Gateways

Gateway solutions act as central communication hubs, collecting data from sensors and I/O portals and pushing it to wherever you need it—whether that’s the cloud, your PLC, or both. They ensure seamless data transmission and integration, providing real-time insights that empower you to perform advanced data analysis, trigger work orders via your CMMS, and streamline maintenance operations.
