Predictive maintenance

Read the early signs of motor failure
and cut unplanned downtime

Why it matters

Calendar-based maintenance either discards parts that still have life left, or misses the sudden failure between service intervals. Time is a poor proxy for the actual condition of a machine.
But walking the floor to take readings by hand, or wiring a sensor to every machine, is its own cost.

How Refinery solves it

Attach a wireless sensor

Mount the sensor on the motor - no conduit, no wiring work. It sends 3-axis vibration and temperature over LoRaWAN in real time. Installation is simple enough to fit equipment that is already running.

Judge against ISO 20816

3-axis vibration is evaluated against the international standard (ISO 20816), so you can see at a glance whether a machine is normal or needs attention.

Catch the trend, not the spike

Anomalies are read from the trend rather than a single reading, which cuts false alarms and alert fatigue while catching early signs sooner.

Act on evidence

AI proposes a likely cause and the next action, together with the data and history behind it.

Wireless vibration · LoRaWAN

Start without wiring, using the WISE-2410 wireless sensor

Mounting is all it takes. The Advantech WISE-2410 wireless vibration sensor measures 3-axis vibration and temperature, and the WISE-6610 gateway collects it over LoRaWAN. With no wiring work, installation stays simple, the battery lasts, and the hardware holds up in harsh industrial conditions.

  • No wiring · mount-on install
  • LoRaWAN wireless · up to 5 km
  • Up to 2-year battery life
  • Built-in 3-axis accelerometer + temperature
  • ISO 20816 vibration assessment
  • IP66 · −20 to 85°C

FAQ

What is predictive maintenance?

Predictive maintenance (PdM) analyses vibration · temperature · current data in real time to predict failure
before it happens, so servicing happens only when it is needed.
Unlike preventive maintenance on a fixed calendar, it acts on actual condition, which cuts needless stoppages and cost.

Can I start predictive maintenance with a wireless vibration sensor?

Yes. A wireless vibration sensor such as the WISE-2410 mounts on the machine with no wiring work,
collects 3-axis vibration and temperature, and sends it to a gateway over LoRaWAN.
That makes it quick to cover rotating equipment where running cable is difficult.

How do you do predictive maintenance on a motor?

Motors show the first signs of failure in vibration · current · temperature.
A vibration spectrum reveals bearing wear · shaft misalignment · imbalance,
and reading the current alongside it catches load faults and insulation degradation early.

Can predictive maintenance be applied to existing equipment?

Yes. You can collect new data with wireless sensors, or start from signals already present in SCADA · PLC.
