Eyes on Every Asset

Monitor your balance-of-plant machinery by deploying wireless vibration sensors that seamlessly integrate with Acoem’s Nest i4.0 ecosystem.

Keep Watch of
Rotating Machinery

Designed to assess and monitor an array of assets, the Sparrow sensor excels at detecting faults with remarkable anticipation, thanks to its high-frequency capabilities. Built with materials resistant to dust, water, and common solvents, it thrives in diverse environments, and its battery has a typical lifespan of 2 years, ensuring continuous, hassle-free operation. The Sparrow is the ideal vibration monitoring sensor for:

  • Non-critical assets
  • Stationary machines without gearboxes
  • Large-scale facilities with a high number of rotating assets

How It Works

The Sparrow sensors can be affixed to numerous assets across your facility, enabling the monitoring and recording of vibration data. Eventually, this data will be transmitted to the Nesti4.0 software for thorough analysis and to the Webportal for tracking trends and generating reports. The configuration of the sensors can be tailored to meet your organization’s specific needs, highlighting the core value of flexibility.
