Smart Synchronised Sensors for Remote Condition Monitoring of Vibratory Systems

Sensoteq’s wireless sensors synchronise themselves to monitor large vibrating machinery, such as industrial pumps or turbines, without needing batteries replaced or cables run to each unit. This matters because critical machines—from factory assembly lines to power plant generators—vibrate in complex patterns as they run. If one sensor drifts out of sync with the others, the system cannot build an accurate picture of the machine’s motion. That blind spot means early signs of wear, imbalance, or impending failure go unnoticed until the machine breaks down, forcing costly unplanned shutdowns. The sensors use ultra-low-power electronics and cloud-based artificial intelligence to learn each machine’s normal behaviour. When vibrations deviate from that learned pattern, the system alerts operators before a fault becomes catastrophic. If this technology succeeds, it could transform condition monitoring across heavy industry, energy generation, and manufacturing. Plants would run more efficiently, maintenance could be scheduled rather than reactive, and downtime—which costs industrial sectors millions per day—would drop sharply. The system is fully Internet-connected, so a single operator could monitor equipment scattered across continents from a single dashboard.
