Why Human Analysts Make AI Condition Monitoring More Reliable
The SM7 is Waites’ most advanced AI-powered vibration sensor, delivering full-spectrum visibility, earlier fault detection, and insights you can act on with confidence.
With 11.2 kHz Fmax and 88 kHz sampling, the SM7 captures the vibration signatures, impacts and synchronized machine behavior needed to identify developing faults earlier and diagnose them with greater confidence.
Identify lubrication and bearing issues earlier with ultrasonic demodulation up to 50 kHz, before they appear in standard vibration data.
Long time waveform capture detects faults in slow-speed equipment down to 1 RPM.
Time-synchronized, multi-axis readings within 5 microseconds enable phase analysis, asset-train diagnostics, and cross-machine insight across your operation.

Early Fault Detection
Get early, accurate detection without alarm fatigue. Our AI models are trained on 13+ trillion machine readings, and when combined with expert analyst oversight, identify real failure patterns.
Prescriptive Insights
Make confident maintenance decisions using clear, prescriptive guidance from CAT II+ certified analysts who bring the accountability and clarity operations leaders expect.
Architecture That Scales
Keep equipment health in check with a high-density mesh network supporting thousands of sensors per gateway without signal degradation. Monitor individual assets, full facilities, or multi-site operations all within a single system.
Waites has become a core part of our reliability program. Across 600+ assets, we’re consistently detecting vibration-related issues early and addressing root cause issues, avoiding 483 hours of downtime in one year alone.
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.
Waites has changed how we plan maintenance. We can now schedule work on our terms instead of reacting to breakdowns.
Installing the Waites system was one of the easiest decisions we’ve made. It’s a small investment compared to the $11 million we saved.
