Bearing wear, misalignment, and imbalance all show up in vibration signatures weeks-to-months before mechanical failure. Wireless triaxial sensors at $400/asset make portfolio-scale monitoring practical.
Four classes of mechanical fault, all visible in the spectral and overall vibration signature.
Outer race, inner race, ball-spin, and cage frequencies tracked individually. Trended for early detection.
1× and 2× line-frequency peaks. Coupling failures, foundation movement, fan imbalance.
Multi-harmonic patterns indicate loose mounts, worn couplings, and structural resonance issues.
Standard severity classification per machine class. Action thresholds aligned to industry practice.
Wireless triaxial sensors at $300-500 installed make it practical to instrument every critical motor and pump in a portfolio not just the top 5%. Signal aggregates the data, scores it, and trends severity over time.
Pair with ESA on the panel side and you have full motor-health coverage with one console.

On-premise by default. Cloud-deployable when required. Your facility data never leaves your network.
TLS everywhere, secrets in vault, row-level security on every query. Containerized and isolated so one service going down never takes the rest with it.

Engineer and operator questions on this capability.
Erbessd, IFM, SKF, Banner Engineering, and any LoRaWAN or BLE wireless triaxial sensor with FFT capability.
Three to five years depending on transmission cadence. Most sites run hourly with on-event escalation.
Yes Signal ingests via REST or MQTT from any sensor producing standard FFT or overall metrics.
A vibration severity escalation can auto-create a Nexus work order with the bearing replacement runbook attached.
Vibration on the shaft. ESA on the panel. FDD on the BAS.
Walk through wireless vibration on a real chilled water pump from raw FFT to severity trend to predictive replacement window.
