Scotland's 'Fitbit' for machines

摘要

Sensor-Works is anticipating a tenfold rise in revenues on the back of its new monitoring device. Currently used in industries such as oil & gas, mining and renewables, the tool uses Internet of Things (IoT) technology to track metrics that indicate machine health, including vibration signatures and temperature, in a similar way to Fitbit fitness trackers. This allows for quicker detection of faults in machinery, avoiding breakdowns, minimising downtime and saving users time and money. The latest version builds on existing BluVib products, but aims to give small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) the opportunity to take advantage of sensor technology they may have previously been priced out of.
