Smart sensor nodes are the “canaries in a coal mine” for the industrial IoT, sensitively monitoring industrial equipment for vibrations, electrical current and voltage changes, temperature, sound, and ...

Part 1 of this series addressed the advantages and disadvantages of various vibration sensors; Part 2 examined signal conditioning and system hardware selection and configuration. I’ll wrap up by ...

What is predictive maintenance (PdM)? It’s the application of instrumentation and intelligence to help determine the condition of equipment and whether maintenance should be performed to avoid ...

Industries and R&D sites depend on sensors to measure, monitor and analyze vibrations. Unfortunately, the best ways to get accurate and repeatable vibration data are not clear to many engineers; they ...
