- THE FIELD REALITY ENGINEERS FACE

Sound familiar?

The situations where you need data the most are usually the ones where setting up a full monitoring system isn't an option.

No infrastructure available

Permanent monitoring requires cabling, gateways, and power. During commissioning, troubleshooting, or temporary campaigns — that's simply not always realistic.

You needed the data yesterday

Incidents don't wait. When a failure happens, you need to capture the next event fast — before the window closes and the opportunity for evidence is gone.

Bad data kills good decisions

Generic loggers and makeshift setups give you data you can't fully rely on. Engineering decisions need engineering-grade evidence — not best-guess readings.

- THE SOLUTION

What is the Standalone 
Vibration & Shock Sensor?

A self-contained digital accelerometer designed to capture three-axis vibration and shock during tests, commissioning, troubleshooting and temporary campaigns. Once configured, it records automatically and stores data internally for later download and analysis — without permanent wiring, gateways, or external infrastructure.

  • Investigations & failure diagnostics — capture what's actually happening on the asset when something goes wrong. 
  • Commissioning & validation — verify newly installed equipment operates within expected parameters.
  • Temporary measurement campaigns — deploy, record for days or weeks, retrieve — no permanent installation needed.

Vibration sensing

Accurate measurements on pumps, motors, gearboxes and rotating equipment — detect fault signatures early.

Industrial monitoring

Characterize equipment in remote, exposed or out-of-sight locations through temporary campaigns.

Shock sensing

Document shock loads during transport, handling, drop events and transients — detailed, time-stamped records.

Safety & reliability

Understand when, where and how often damaging events occur — supporting root-cause analysis and design changes.

- HOW IT WORKS

Three steps to engineering-grade data

From arrival on site to active capture in under five minutes. No specialist crew, no wiring, no gateway.

Prepare

Choose your sensor capacity — Basic, Pro, or Max — based on how much data you want to capture and how long the campaign will run.

Mount

Attach the sensor to the target asset using SnapBase®. The compact body fits pumps, motors, gearboxes and structural elements.

Retrieve

The sensor records automatically during your campaign. When you're done, stop the capture, connect, and download the log — ready for analysis on your PC.

Repeatable positioning with SnapBase® — screwless mounting for fast installation and comparable results across tests and locations.

- TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES

Built for field work.

Where fast setup and reliable measurements matter.


Three-axis recording

Full XYZ digital accelerometer data in every recording — the complete picture of vibration and shock behaviour simultaneously.

Flexible capture profiles

Basic, Pro and Max profiles let you trade bandwidth for runtime — or vice versa — based on what your investigation requires.

Multiple shock ranges

±2g, ±4g, ±8g or ±16g — from precision rotating machinery through high-demand shock environments. Specified at order time.

Built for long campaigns

Up to 1,407 hours of continuous recording at 1 kHz with 32 GB storage — extended field investigations without interruption.

SnapBase® compatible

Faster installation and repeatable positioning across tests and locations — improving comparability of results over time.

No external infrastructure

Fully self-contained — no gateway, no wiring, no permanent installation. Deploy anywhere, even with zero connectivity.

- FLEXIBLE CAPTURE PROFILES

Basic. Pro. Max.
Choose your bandwidth — and your runtime.

Higher sampling rate means more bandwidth and less runtime. Each profile is a fixed sensor variant — specify the one that matches your campaign objective at the time of order.

- TWO APPROACHES. ONE GOAL: EVIDENCE

Standalone for campaigns.
Permanent monitoring for continuous visibility.

Both approaches serve a purpose. The right choice depends on your objective, timeline, and the nature of the asset.

Permanent Monitoring (SAMS)

Continuous visibility for critical assets

  • Real-time data and continuous visibility from any location
  • Automatic alerts when thresholds are exceeded
  • Long-term trend analysis across months and years
  • Ideal for critical assets requiring constant oversight
  • Integrated with the SAMS platform for fleet management
