IoT Sensors for Predictive Maintenance & Asset Health
Eliminate unplanned equipment downtime and move from costly reactive repairs to automated, condition-based monitoring. The RipplesIPS range of IoT predictive maintenance sensors provides continuous, real-time health telemetry for heavy industrial machinery, pumps, motors, compressors, and plant infrastructure.
Engineered for harsh industrial environments, our zero-wire telemetry nodes capture critical operational health metrics—including tri-axial vibration, casing surface temperature, and total run-time hours—delivering automated early warning indicators long before mechanical failure occurs.
Zero-Wire Equipment Condition Monitoring
Traditional SCADA hardware and wired monitoring systems require invasive cabling, complex conduit runs, and costly installation procedures. RipplesIPS wireless BLE asset maintenance sensors remove these deployment hurdles entirely.
Core Hardware Capabilities
10-Minute Cable-Free Installation: Industrial magnetic, adhesive, or bracket mounting enables rapid fitting with zero operational downtime.
Long-Life Battery Performance: Heavy-duty internal lithium batteries power continuous sensor sampling and BLE transmissions for 3 to 5 years.
Multi-Parameter Telemetry: Simultaneous measurement of 3-axis vibration (g-force), surface temperature, ambient humidity, and active machine runtime.
IP67/IP68 Ruggedised Enclosures: Designed to withstand high-impact shop floors, dust exposure, wash downs, and outdoor yard environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What parameters do these wireless maintenance sensors measure?
RipplesIPS sensor nodes capture 3-axis vibration amplitude, surface casing temperature, ambient humidity, and active machine operating hours.
Do these sensor nodes require local electrical wiring?
No. All nodes operate on long-life industrial batteries and transmit telemetry wirelessly over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or Wirepas mesh networks.
How do hardware alerts integrate with CMMS or ERP platforms?
Sensor streams are evaluated against configurable threshold rules. When vibration or thermal limits are breached, web hooks automatically send alert events to your CMMS or ERP software.
