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.

What we watch

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.

Done right, not just installed

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.

Frequently asked

Condition-monitoring questions we answer first.

The right first question is never "how many sensors?" — it's "which assets actually justify monitoring?"

Start with critical, hard-to-replace rotating equipment whose failure stops production or safety — large motors, key pumps, fans, compressors and gearboxes. We rank by downtime cost and failure likelihood, then instrument the top of the list.
For trend-based early warning on most plant assets, yes. Wireless sensors are ideal for catching developing faults. For detailed diagnostics on the most critical machines, we combine them with higher-rate measurement where it's justified.
That's the most common failure mode. We baseline each asset, set thresholds to its normal behaviour, and route alerts to the right person — so an alert means "go look", not "ignore it".
Yes — condition data lives in addaNet alongside OEE, energy and process data, so maintenance and production see one picture.
