Rotating equipment monitoring

One device. Monitor every rotating asset.

Pumps, compressors, fans, gearboxes and motors all fail through the same signals — vibration, heat and load. One non-invasive wireless device watches them across your plant and flags the bearing, imbalance or misalignment fault weeks before it stops the line. No rewiring, no shutdown.

Prefer to start small? Ask about a deployment on a handful of critical rotating assets.

Every rotating asset fails the same quiet way.

Bearing wear you can't hear in time

By the time a failing bearing is loud enough to notice on a walk-around, it is often days from seizing — and from taking the line with it.

Imbalance & misalignment

An unbalanced fan or a misaligned coupling quietly chews through bearings and seals long before anything trips.

Heat and overload creep

A pump or compressor drawing more load and running hotter is a machine heading for failure — but nothing alarms until it stops.

One stoppage, whole-line cost

A single rotating asset — a feed pump, a drive motor — can halt an entire line, so its failure costs far more than the part.

One sensor for any rotating machine.

1

Mount the wireless sensor

Non-invasive sensors attach to any rotating asset in minutes — pump, compressor, fan, gearbox or motor — no rewiring, no shutdown.

2

AI watches the asset

It reads vibration, temperature and load and learns each rotating machine's healthy baseline, whatever its size or speed.

3

Get alerts, work orders & reports

When a bearing, imbalance or misalignment fault starts to develop, you get an early alert with a work order and reports you can act on.

What you get from one device.

Weeks of early warning

Catch a developing bearing or imbalance fault while it's still a scheduled fix, not an unplanned line-down event.

One device, every rotating type

Pumps, compressors, fans, gearboxes and motors — all watched the same way with a single wireless sensor and platform.

Plant-wide view

Every rotating asset across every line and site, ranked side by side, so the crew works the riskiest machine first.

Turn the signals every rotating machine shares into early warning your team can act on — before the failure, not after.

Real, measured results · 2025

It saw a $31,200 rotating-asset failure coming — 48 hours early.

In a 2025 deployment at an Ontario building-products manufacturer, IoT Octopus watched a rotating drive motor in silent observation and saw the bearing failure coming two full days out — the same early vibration signal that warns on any pump, fan or gearbox.

Minutes to install

Non-invasive wireless sensors mount on a running asset in minutes, with no rewiring and no shutdown.

Rotating equipment monitoring, answered.

Which rotating assets can it monitor?

Pumps, compressors, fans, blowers, gearboxes and motors — any rotating asset. The same wireless sensor and AI read vibration, temperature and load, so every rotating machine is watched the same way across your plant, whatever its size or speed.

Do we need to shut down to install it?

No. The sensors are non-invasive and wireless, so they mount on a running asset in minutes with no rewiring and no shutdown. Monitoring starts the same day and the AI builds each machine's baseline from there.

What signals does it capture?

Vibration, temperature and electrical load over time. Those are the signals that reveal the faults rotating equipment fails through — bearing wear, imbalance, misalignment and overheating — usually weeks before the asset stops.

Does it replace my CMMS?

No. It works alongside an existing CMMS — it tells you which rotating asset needs attention and when, and turns that into a work order. Nothing gets ripped out.

How is our data secured, and where is it stored?

Your equipment data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with per-customer data isolation. The primary data region is Canada, and the platform is built on Google Cloud. You own your data at all times.

Can we start with just a few assets?

Yes. Many teams start with a handful of critical or problem rotating assets, prove the value, then expand across more lines and sites. There is no minimum fleet to begin.
