The bearing didn't fail without warning. Nobody was listening.
Rotating equipment almost always tells you it's dying — through vibration, heat and rising current — weeks before it stops the plant. addanode puts low-cost sensors on your critical motors, pumps and gearboxes and watches the trend 24/7, so maintenance acts at the start of a failure instead of the end. And we're honest about where condition monitoring pays back and where it doesn't.
Three signals that predict most rotating-equipment failures.
Vibration
Imbalance, misalignment, bearing wear and looseness show up in the vibration signature long before failure.
Temperature
Bearing and winding temperature rise flags friction, overload and cooling problems.
Current
Motor current and power trends reveal load changes, mechanical drag and electrical faults.
We scope for payback — not for sensor count.
Most condition-monitoring projects fail not because the technology doesn't work, but because they're aimed at the wrong assets, drown people in alarms, or never tie a reading to a maintenance action. We start from your criticality list: which assets, if they stop, cost you the most — and only instrument where the maths works.

Condition-monitoring questions we answer first.
The right first question is never "how many sensors?" — it's "which assets actually justify monitoring?"
