A wireless vibration monitoring device for your industrial machines

The xBud™ is a wireless vibration monitoring solution. It can be configured to suit your data collection and monitoring requirements.

The xBud™ is a highly agnostic wireless data acquisition and vibration monitoring device coupled with a phone app for easy deployment and cloud based software. It allows a great deal of flexibility in its use and capability.

The xBud™ NO CODE web tool helps you to configure your xBud™ nodes to monitor what you want, how you want:

Measure and record baseline vibrating and angular conditions
Automate anomaly / exception detection
Design your own measurement parameters and set thresholds to receive alerts
Send the data to external software and control systems

Customise the wireless vibration monitoring application with the xBud™ NO CODE online programmer

ShakerBud™

Monitor linear or oscillatory excitation.
Synchronise devices on each side to detect any out of sync movement, indicating an issue.

BearingBud™

Conduct real-time remote vibration analysis of bearings to detect defects emerging in the equipment.
