Predictive Maintenance
We build high-speed vibration analysis nodes that process FFT logic at the edge, identifying bearing wear and motor misalignments before machine failure.
Maintenance Cost Drivers
Reactive maintenance strategies lead to expensive emergency repairs:
- Emergency Shutdowns: Sudden bearing failures halt entire production lines.
- Inefficient Maintenance: Replacing parts based on fixed schedules rather than actual wear.
- Inadequate Diagnostics: Simple indicators miss high-frequency vibrations.
- Heavy Data Load: Raw high-frequency vibration data consumes high bandwidth.
Thinkfinity Vibration Nodes
We calculate frequency spectra at the edge to reduce bandwidth:
- Edge FFT Processing: Calculating frequency peaks on the microcontroller.
- Piezoelectric Sensors: High-frequency vibration sensing up to 10kHz.
- ISO 10816 Alignment: Standard vibration severity alarms.
- Summary Telemetry: Streaming only vibration peaks and RMS values.

How the Vibration Node Connects
Our predictive vibration telemetry node monitors machinery health efficiently:
- Sensor Probe: Piezoelectric or MEMS accelerometer maps high-frequency vibration axes.
- FFT Calculation: ARM Cortex processor calculates Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) bins.
- Telemetry Alert: Transmits RMS and peak values via LoRaWAN or Wi-Fi to cloud portals.
