Baseline
Observe representative operating conditions.
GoSense MachineGuard
Condition trends for the machines that keep work moving.
Structure runtime, temperature, and vibration evidence around motors, pumps, compressors, generators, and other rotating equipment.
Trend and anomaly monitoring is designed to support earlier inspection. It is not a guaranteed failure prediction.
Asset-specificMachine, duty, speed, load, mounting, and failure modes matter.
Trend-ledReview change over time rather than a single isolated value.
Human-acceptedInspection and maintenance authority stays with the responsible team.
Three monitoring levels
Match the signal path to the decision.
The levels are technically distinct. High-frequency analysis is not presented as a default feature of basic sensing.
| Level | Typical signals | Use | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic condition monitoring | Runtime, selected temperature, overall low-rate vibration where suitable | Operating visibility and trend review | Final sensor and sampling depend on the asset and installation |
| Industrial 4–20mA sensing | Approved industrial transmitters and process inputs | Robust signal integration over suitable industrial wiring | Requires signal, power, isolation, scaling, enclosure, and safety design |
| High-frequency vibration / FFT pilot | Higher-rate waveform acquisition and frequency-domain analysis | Bounded diagnostic or anomaly study | Pilot only: asset classes, mounting, sampling, labels, baseline, and acceptance criteria must be validated |
Asset coverage
Start with critical equipment and known questions.
A useful condition-monitoring scope begins with the asset, operating regime, current maintenance practice, and decision the team is prepared to make.
- Motors and driven equipment
- Pumps and compressors
- Generators and rotating auxiliaries
- Fans, gearboxes, and selected production assets
- Runtime and maintenance history where available

FAQ
Common questions.
Does MachineGuard predict failures?
Not as a general promise. It shows condition trends so teams can inspect earlier. A predictive-maintenance pilot needs suitable history, validated sensing and an agreed way to evaluate it.
Which monitoring level should we start with?
Most sites start with basic condition monitoring on a few critical assets, then decide from the trends whether industrial sensing or a vibration pilot is justified.
Which equipment is a good fit?
Motors, pumps, compressors, fans, gearboxes and generators where a change in temperature, runtime or vibration would lead to an inspection decision.
Who decides what to do about an anomaly?
Your maintenance team. An anomaly is a prompt to inspect, not a confirmed diagnosis.
