Benefits
Enhanced machine insights
VibSys continuously captures vibration data under real operating conditions, replacing fragmented snapshots with a complete and dynamic picture of machine behavior. This enables early anomaly detection, accurate diagnostics, and confident decision-making; empowering maintenance teams to shift from reactive to predictive maintenance strategies.
Any rotating machine
VibSys makes advanced vibration monitoring accessible to any rotating machine – from critical turbines to balance of plant equipment – due to its compact and scalable design. By minimizing cabling and safeguarding signal quality, it delivers high quality insights.
Open data infrastructure
VibSys features an open data infrastructure, allowing to integrate the vibration data with any preferred platform for analysis or data integration, like Istec analysis platform or any third party analysis tool, without the need for proprietary software.
“VibSys leverages cloud connectivity and an open infrastructure to deliver
unparalleled machine insights across any rotating machine.”
How does it work?
VibSys® functions as a modern 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 values 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 time synchronised monitoring of multiple machine points for a more complete 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
- ■Paper machines
- ■Balance of plant equipment
Applications
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 continuous insight, from machine-level data locally to complete fleet-wide visibility across sites.
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.
