Step 1

Collect

A Waites sensor, connected to a piece of equipment, continuously gathers full-spectrum vibration, temperature, and more than a dozen other metrics. This data is securely relayed to the cloud via cellular data connection requiring no interaction with your onsite IT systems.

collected DATA metricsFull-spectrum data

Cellular connectionNo integration with onsite IT system

Step 2

Analyze

Full-spectrum vibration and temperature data is analyzed by Waites' massive machine learning algorithms modeled on over 8 trillion readings collected over more than 10 years. These models are updated with more than 10+ billion new readings each day collected from more than half a million Waites sensors installed around the world. Findings from the machine learning system are passed to our worldwide team of vibration analysts who create action items for your onsite maintenance personnel delivered through the Waites dashboard and mobile app.
