Boardroom Guide: Making the Predictive Maintenance Business Case
Bring third-party condition monitoring data into the Waites ecosystem.
The Waites Universal Adapter (UA) integrates third-party analog sensors into the Waites monitoring ecosystem, bridging the gap between disparate data sources and delivering the precise readings required to support a proactive reliability strategy beyond standard vibration monitoring.
By centralizing inputs from pressure sensors, current transformers, and other analog devices, UA enables advanced analytics through automated sampling, data trending, vibration overlay, and intelligent alarm setting to pinpoint faults faster and more accurately.
Rugged and IP66-rated, the UA connects directly to a wireless node that supports multiple adapters for scalable deployment.
This architecture allows teams to expand monitoring across additional assets without overhauling existing infrastructure, consolidating all critical condition data into one centralized platform designed to grow with your operation.
Many reliability programs rely on periodic, manual data collection that leaves critical gaps between readings. UA closes those gaps by automating collection from disparate data sources:

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.
