Vibration Analysis Platform in the Istec Sphere
Machine health insights at scale
Istec’s professional home for vibration engineers, the Istec Sphere, features a cloud-based vibration analysis platform to provide machine health insights and fleet-wide monitoring. With automated and AI-supported (machine learning) first-line analysis, it unlocks vibration data across assets, enabling condition-based maintenance and improved reliability at scale.
Note: Availability expected in Q1 2026. The information on this page is therefore subject to change.
AI-assisted first-line analysis
Use multiple AI models to automatically detect anomalies, classify patterns, and highlight deviations. This intelligent layer acts as a digital first-line analyst, helping teams focus on what matters and respond faster to emerging issues.
Extensive rule engine
Build custom rules and alerts using traditional logic. The rule engine allows users to define deterministic conditions based on vibration trends, thresholds, or combined parameters. This supports scalable and reliable monitoring strategies.
Advanced tools for expert analysis
Access raw waveforms, spectral data, and trend histories for in-depth diagnostics. Analysts can perform detailed investigations or connect directly with Istec specialists for second opinions and collaborative analysis.
“Leveraging cloud connectivity and an open infrastructure for unparalleled machine insights across any rotating machine.”
Tailored capabilities for every user
For maintenance teams
Build efficient automation workflows and use AI assistance to monitor machine fleets effectively. The platform helps prioritize assets that need attention and reduces time spent on manual diagnostics.
For OEMs
Collect high-quality vibration data and train custom analysis models to support product development, performance optimization, and predictive service strategies.
For analysts
Use AI assistance as a first or second opinion to accelerate diagnostics and focus on complex cases. Combine automated insights with expert tools for deeper investigation and decision support.
From sensor to insight
The Istec Vibration Platform connects the full monitoring chain, from sensor to decision. Data is captured at the machine with VibSys® or third party sensors, processed securely, and streamed into the platform through the Istec Suite API.
Within the platform, AI models act as first-line analysts, while an extensive rule engine and advanced diagnostic tools support expert interpretation. Combined with direct access to Istec’s vibration specialists, the platform becomes the intelligent core of the modern vibration ecosystem; empowering predictive maintenance and smarter asset management through actionable insights.
The shift the industry needs
The Istec Vibration Platform redefines vibration monitoring by combining AI assisted diagnostics, rulebox automation and expert tools in one accessible environment. AI highlights what matters, automation manages routine monitoring and engineers stay in control with advanced analysis options.
With direct access to Istec specialists and full integration with the Istec Academy, teams not only monitor smarter but also expand their expertise as they go. Open by design and seamlessly connected to VibSys® and third party systems, the platform delivers reliable insights without vendor lock in. At a time when industries demand higher reliability with fewer resources, it provides the shift the industry needs.
