Wireless Route-Based Vibration Data Collection

What the WiSER ecosystem consists of

EI WiSER® 3X is a wireless triaxial accelerometer that connects over Wi-Fi to a phone or tablet running WiSER VIBE®. Between them they run the whole route: configure it, collect three axes in one placement, diagnose the machine on site with spectra, orbits and bearing fault frequencies, and send the reading to the cloud before the technician leaves the point.

This page lists what the ecosystem does, walks through a route from setup to report, and covers the capabilities an older handheld collector does not have.

Four parts cover collection, analysis, desktop work and remote access. A route-based program uses the first two; the others are there when the program grows.

A route from setup to report

The steps below follow one shift in order, from configuring the route to putting the result in front of whoever schedules the repair.

1. Set up the route

   Routes are built inside WiSER VIBE® and stored on the device, so the phone carries the route the way a dedicated collector carries its database. The app collects on route and off route: an unplanned measurement on a machine that is not in the route does not need a separate workflow.

2. Collect the point

   The sensor is placed once per point. It records three axes plus one additional channel and returns acceleration, velocity, displacement and acceleration envelope from that single capture. The button on the sensor starts and stops the recording, so it stays where it was placed.

3. Read the result at the machine

   WiSER VIBE® returns machine condition status on the spot, while the technician is still at the point. A reading that looks wrong can be repeated immediately, with the machine in the same operating condition — the only time a comparable repeat measurement is possible.

4. Diagnose at the point

   The full analysis toolset runs on the phone. Time waveform, FFT, circular time waveform and orbit plots are available on the captured signal, and the bearing database resolves fault frequencies for the specific bearing on that machine — no waiting to get back to a desk.

5. Send it to whoever decides

   Readings upload to EI-Analytic™ from the point of measurement, so a second opinion does not require a return visit. Data also transfers to Digivibe MX® through QR Connect, and single measurements can be saved or sent over WhatsApp. An EI-Analytic™ account with 1 GB of storage is free.

6. Stream when a point needs it

   Measurements run at more than 1,000,000 lines of resolution, and real-time streaming has a maximum delay of 0.2 seconds for recordings that need to run continuously rather than as a single capture.

Bearing fault frequencies for more than 25,000 bearings

WiSER VIBE® carries a database of over 25,000 bearings and resolves the specific fault frequencies for each one. Those frequencies follow from the geometry of the rolling elements, so identifying them against the correct bearing is what separates a bearing defect from general noise in the spectrum.

The database is on the phone, which means the bearing can be identified at the machine rather than noted down and looked up afterwards.

Three sensors

Sensors the app connects to

WiSER VIBE® is not tied to a single sensor. The same app collects from three, so a program can mix portable route collection with permanently installed monitoring without changing software.
