Istec VibSys
Vibration monitoring system and cloud gateway
VibSys is an advanced vibration monitoring system and cloud gateway designed to deliver continuous, high-quality measurements for any rotating machine, eliminating the need for costly manual vibration measurement walking rounds. By combining robust, hardwired signal acquisition with an open data interface, VibSys pre-processes data from vibration sensors (accelerometers & velocity sensors) and enables secure, encrypted data sharing with analysis platforms. This provides deeper insights and supports more effective, proactive maintenance strategies.

Enhanced machine insights
VibSys enables continuous (remote) vibration measurements, capturing high-quality data during relevant operating conditions. This approach provides richer diagnostics than manual periodical measurement rounds, empowering maintenance teams to detect anomalies earlier and make more accurate decisions.
Any rotating machine
Thanks to its accessible and scalable design, VibSys extends monitoring coverage to a wide range of rotating machines without the need for extensive infrastructure investments. Installed close to the machine, it minimizes cabling and preserves signal integrity for optimal data quality.
Open data infrastructure
VibSys is built on an open data infrastructure, allowing seamless integration with your preferred analysis platforms and tools. It pre-processes data from vibration sensors (accelerometers & velocity sensors) and shares it securely using encrypted protocols. This eliminates vendor lock-in while enabling advanced analytics, custom dashboards, and integration into existing digital ecosystems.
“Leveraging cloud connectivity and an open infrastructure for unparalleled machine insights across any rotating machine.”
How does it work?
VibSys sits between industrial vibration sensors and analysis environments. It acquires and preprocesses signals from vibration sensors (accelerometers and velocity sensors), making both raw time waveforms and extracted features available through an open API without compromising data quality or availability.
In addition to vibration, the system also processes speed (tachometer) signals and other relevant machine parameters. Local outputs enable direct integration with control and monitoring systems such as PLCs or DCSs, while secure, encrypted data sharing supports advanced analysis either on premises or in the cloud.
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:
■ Pumps & fans
■ Gearboxes
■ Wind turbines (see example below)
■ Balance of plant equipment
Application
Local and cloud access
VibSys provides local outputs for direct integration with industrial control systems such as PLCs and DCSs, while also offering network connectivity for modern analysis environments and enterprise-level monitoring. This enables seamless integration from the shop floor to fleet-wide visibility.
API data interface
Processed data is made available through an open and secure API, allowing straightforward transfer to analysis software, data platforms, or control systems. This supports flexible system architectures and avoids vendor lock-in.
Analysis program: In-depth vibration analysis
The Istec analysis program integrates with VibSys to deliver advanced vibration diagnostics, trend analysis, and centralized dashboards. This enables predictive maintenance strategies across multiple machines and sites.
