Benefits
Enhanced machine insights
VibSys® delivers continuous vibration data under operating conditions. Instead of fragmented snapshots, it creates a complete picture of machine behavior. This allows earlier detection of anomalies, more accurate diagnostics, and greater confidence in decisions, enabling maintenance teams to move from reactive repairs to proactive strategies that improve reliability and efficiency.
Any rotating machine
VibSys® makes advanced vibration monitoring available across the full range of rotating assets. From critical turbines to auxiliary balance of plant equipment, its compact, scalable design installs close to the source. By minimizing cabling and safeguarding signal quality, it delivers high quality insights once reserved for only the most complex machines, now accessible across the entire plant and fleet.
Open data infrastructure
VibSys® is built on an open architecture that integrates seamlessly with the Istec analysis platform or any third party tool. Processing vibration data at the source and sharing it securely gives users full control without vendor lock in. With AI powered first line diagnostics, trending with rule box features, and advanced tools for specialist analysis, it delivers insights that are immediate, reliable, and future proof.
“Leveraging cloud connectivity and an open infrastructure for unparalleled machine insights across any rotating machine.”
How does it work?
VibSys® is a next generation gateway between vibration sensors and analysis environments, transforming raw signals into actionable intelligence. It acquires and preprocesses data at the source, delivering both raw time waveforms and extracted features through an open API without compromise in quality or availability.
Beyond vibration, VibSys® integrates speed and other critical machine parameters, creating a holistic view of asset behavior. Local outputs connect seamlessly to PLCs and DCSs, while secure data sharing unlocks advanced analytics on premises or in the cloud. This innovative approach makes vibration monitoring more accessible, scalable, and future proof for every industry.
Design
VibSys® features four independent channels, enabling simultaneous monitoring of multiple machine points for a more complete condition overview. Channel density can be scaled by interconnecting multiple VibSys® units. The compact DIN rail-mounted transmitter is designed for installation close to the asset, reducing cabling and preserving signal quality.
Typical applications include:
- ■Turbines
- ■Pumps and fans
- ■Gearboxes
- ■Wind turbines
- ■Balance of plant equipment
Application
Connectivity
Local and cloud access
VibSys® provides flexible access at every level. Local outputs connect directly to PLCs and DCSs for seamless control integration, while secure connectivity extends monitoring into advanced analysis environments and enterprise platforms. This combination ensures a continuous flow of insight, from machine-level data on the shop floor to complete fleet-wide visibility across sites and operations.
API data interface
VibSys® makes processed data available through an open and secure API, allowing easy transfer to analysis software, data platforms, or control systems. This ensures interoperability across infrastructures, avoiding vendor lock in while enabling flexible architectures. With full user control over data flow, organizations can build monitoring strategies that fit their digital ecosystem and scale with evolving demands.
