Vibration Analysis 101: Essential Guide to Understanding Vibration Monitoring
The Waites system keeps the world’s industries running—predictably, reliably, and profitably—so teams can stay focused on performance, not problems.
Waites sensors continuously capture full-spectrum vibration, temperature, and other critical machine health indicators, delivering the backbone of an industrial-grade sensing ecosystem for real-time condition monitoring at scale. Our technology is engineered for extreme environments and trusted across more than 500,000 installations worldwide, providing always-on visibility without added complexity.
Learn moreWaites models are trained on over 13 trillion sensor readings and learn from 10 billion new datapoints every day. Our models don’t just flag issues—they recognize evolving failure patterns months in advance.
Learn moreBefore any alert reaches your team, it’s reviewed by a CAT-certified vibration analyst. You’ll never get raw charts or vague recommendations. You get clear, prescriptive guidance backed by data, refined by experts, and tailored to your facility.
Learn moreWhen failure isn’t an option, Waites gives you the clarity and confidence to stay ahead of it. Our system combines rugged, high-fidelity sensors, advanced machine learning, and certified human analysts who turn raw data into prescriptive guidance.
No guesswork. No fire drills. Just real-time insights you can act on – before anything breaks.
The metrics speak for themselves. I sleep at night because I'm not getting calls at 3 or 4 in the morning because a large piece of equipment has gone down.
Motors are at the heart of your operations. Our sensors continuously monitor subcomponents in real time to determine the precise health and condition of your hydraulic and electric motors.
Key to motion transmission, gearboxes require constant monitoring to prevent wear and misalignment. Our system detects the initial signs of failure, optimizing their operation.
The backbone of material handling, conveying systems require constant monitoring to avoid disruptions. We deliver real-time analytics that keep your operations running at peak performance.
Essential in industrial processes, pumps maintain fluid flow and pressure systems. Our sensors detect problems such as internal misalignment and component wear, helping you extend their lifespan.
Crucial for ventilation and cooling, our sensors continuously monitor their performance to ensure optimal air flow and prevent problems before they impact your operations.
For a safe and comfortable environment, our systems monitor HVAC equipment, detecting inefficiencies and ensuring optimal energy consumption.

Help your team stay ahead of breakdowns with a system that delivers clear priorities, drives real action, and proves the impact of your maintenance efforts.
You’ll know what to fix, when to fix it, and why it matters. No digging. No noise. Just a faster path to getting the job done right.
This high-frequency, high-G, 3-axis wireless vibration sensor will keep your equipment running properly, and alert you long before unexpected failures occur. This all-in-one condition monitoring device is rated intrinsically safe and made to withstand the harshest conditions, including C1D1 environments.
The Waites tethered sensor is an ultra-compact, high-precision device that plugs directly into a node, enabling expanded coverage without requiring additional wireless connections. Its small form factor allows for placement in tight or complex spaces, ensuring comprehensive monitoring of critical assets while maintaining seamless data integration. Tethered sensors enable placement in hard to access locations including environments with high-speed rotating machinery and do not require batteries.
The Waites Universal Adapter is a powerful expansion tool that enables seamless integration with third-party sensors, allowing businesses to ingest additional data for a more comprehensive view of equipment health. By extending Waites’ predictive maintenance capabilities beyond its proprietary sensors, the Universal Adapter ensures organizations can leverage existing infrastructure while enhancing operational insights.
