To implement an effective preventive maintenance program, monitoring the vibration levels of your valuable equipment is an essential task that cannot be overlooked. Advantech's LoRaWAN vibration sensor can detect the vibration of equipment 24 hours a day and make immediate diagnosis following ISO 10816 guidelines to help manufacturers conduct effective preventive maintenance schedules that improve OEE.

Intelligent vibration sensing gateways are embedded solutions for edge AI (machine learning) and vibration data acquisition. They offer an effective low cost predictive maintenance solution and incorporate AI (machine learning) training utility, edge computing (inference firmware), high performance data acquisition (ADC), and high accuracy MEMS accelerometer. Unlike cloud computing, edge AI is more responsive and real-time which makes an intelligent vibration gateway ideally suited for monitoring the condition of the critical assets like CNC machine spindle status, elevator/ escalator system prognostics, precision linear slides, ball screws, bearings and other equipment with mechanical moving parts.

Advantech offers different form factor DAQ devices for vibration sensing. PCIE-1802/1803 are state-of-the-art DAQ cards for high accuracy and excellent performance. The USB-5801 USB DAQ module is suitable for portable or embedded applications, and MIC-1800 series is the all-in-one solution which combines the DAQ and x86 platform. All these devices are supported by DAQNavi/MCM vibration analysis software, which makes machine condition monitoring becoming a simple task for SI engineers. The high-performance DAQ devices are suitable for critical or high value equipment such as CNC, laser drilling machine, turbine blade, or engine.
