Wireless vibration monitoring has captured the attention of manufacturers, plant managers and investors alike.
The industrial sector typically isn’t as susceptible to passing trends as the consumer market. However, industrial business leaders understandably want to know whether the newfound focus on wireless vibration monitoring is a new standard operating procedure.
At I-care, we’re already seeing the impacts of this shift across several key industries. Here’s everything you need to know about wireless vibration monitoring, including how you can embrace this SOP with cutting-edge technology from I-care.
Why Wireless Is Gaining Ground
Vibration monitoring helps industrial maintenance teams identify abnormalities that can lead to equipment damage and catastrophic failure. Wireless monitoring devices from I-care are especially appealing because of the flexibility and cost-effectiveness they offer.
Transitioning to wireless sensors eliminates many of the installation and maintenance headaches associated with wired systems. It also allows organizations to scale predictive maintenance (PdM) across diverse assets and plants more easily.
Once a business implements the software and infrastructure to support internet of things (IoT) devices, adding new sensors is a relatively simple and budget-friendly process.
With demand growing rapidly, we’ve seen a wave of providers enter the space. Some offer hardware; others only provide software solutions. A select few, including I-care, furnish complete solutions that include both hardware and software (and we are the only ones able to provide robust expertise).
I-care’s Differentiator: Built From Service to Deliver Results
I-care’s leadership in the wireless vibration monitoring space stems from our roots in service. Our 600 mechanical engineers have decades of combined field experience and understand the unique challenges industrial organizations face. We leveraged that expertise to build a sensor that delivers lasting value and a strong ROI.
Every part of our wireless system is engineered to provide you with actionable insights. The platform captures raw data and uses AI to analyze large volumes of information with exceptional efficiency and accuracy.
Our Sensors Are Simply Better
I-care’s wireless vibration sensors are simply better than the competition’s. Our devices were engineered from scratch to address the limitations we saw in the market. That’s why we’ve secured three unique patents:
- Piezoelectric Sensing Technology: I-care uses advanced piezoelectric materials to detect the most subtle vibrations and rotational anomalies
- High-Frequency Oversampling With High Resolution: Our sensors collect useful data via intentional oversampling at high-frequency
- Advanced Power Management: Our sensors are guaranteed for five years, which means less downtime and lower lifecycle costs
I-care has produced more than 100,000 sensors in 2024 and currently produces 2,000 new sensors per day. Our team is quickly scaling to accommodate the growing demand for wireless vibration monitoring technology.
Why Wireless Vibration Monitoring Needs to Be a SOP
Wireless vibration monitoring is no longer optional. It plays a pivotal role in smart maintenance strategies and can help optimize the lifecycle of each asset. Forward-thinking facilities are already treating wireless vibration monitoring as a standard operating procedure. Join this movement by partnering with I-care and taking advantage of our proprietary sensor technology.
