Predictive maintenance
Early signs of motor failure are read with wireless
vibration sensors, cutting stoppages and losses
Why it matters
Calendar-based maintenance either discards parts that still have life left, or misses sudden failures between service intervals. Time is a poor proxy for the actual condition of a machine.
But walking the floor to take readings by hand, or wiring a sensor to every machine, is its own cost.
The data and signals we read
What predictive maintenance actually predictsHow Refinery solves it
Wireless vibration sensor mounting
The sensor mounts on the motor, with no conduit and no wiring work. It sends 3-axis vibration and temperature over LoRaWAN in real time.
Assessment against ISO 20816
3-axis vibration is evaluated against the international standard (ISO 20816), so you can see at a glance whether a machine is normal or needs attention.
Trend-based early detection
Anomalies are read from the trend rather than a single reading, which cuts false alarms and alarm fatigue while catching early signs sooner.
Evidence-backed action proposals
AI proposes a likely cause and the next action, together with the data and history behind it.
Start without wiring, using the WISE-2410 wireless sensor
Mounting is all it takes. The Advantech WISE-2410 wireless vibration sensor measures 3-axis vibration and temperature, and the WISE-6610 gateway collects it over LoRaWAN. With no wiring work, installation stays simple, the battery lasts a long time, and the hardware holds up in harsh industrial conditions.

- Low power · up to 2-year battery life
- Built-in 3-axis accelerometer + temperature

Related use cases
Scattered sensors are brought into one structure and anomalies are read together.
When, where and how much you use is identified, cutting power cost and risk.
Power quality anomalies you cannot see are caught in real time, and put on the record.
The whole plant’s energy flow is brought into one view, cutting waste and emissions together.
Hidden waste and power peaks are found, and the same work is done for less.
Signals from the process data are read, and defects are caught before the part is finished.
FAQ
What is predictive maintenance?
before it happens, so servicing happens only when it is needed.
Unlike preventive maintenance on a fixed calendar, it acts on actual condition, which cuts needless stoppages and cost.
Can I start predictive maintenance with a wireless vibration sensor?
collects 3-axis vibration and temperature, and sends it to a gateway over LoRaWAN.
That makes it quick to cover rotating equipment where running cable is difficult.
How do you do predictive maintenance on a motor?
A vibration spectrum reveals bearing wear, shaft misalignment and unbalance,
and reading the current alongside it catches load anomalies and insulation degradation early.
Can predictive maintenance be applied to existing equipment?
Refinery weaves the scattered data into an ontology and explains the cause with the equipment history behind it.
