Vibrations measuring and analysis is key

A lot of different types of sensor technoligies can eaily be added into the system, so basic data like running hours, temperature, pressure will be measured and be an important part of the system, giving valuable data. However, vibration measuring is a relatively simple and cheap technology to implement on the hardware side, and with the right filtering and analysis of data, it gives accurate and detailed information about many different types of industrial equipment. 

It could for examble be used for measuring wear and tear on ballbearings, pumps, motors etc., and can in most cases show a changed pattern long before actual breakdown. 

By implementing predictive maintenance as part of your IoT system, it can be possible to contact clients worldwide, providing spareparts for their machinery, before breakdown. This allows for scheduled production stops, and minimizing, or even eliminating,  downtime.
