Wireless Vibration Monitoring for Difficult-to-Wire & Dangerous Sites

Fans in cooling towers, motors for overhead cranes, or equipment enclosed in narrow spaces or soundproof covers. These are prime examples of "harsh environments" where maintenance engineers must climb ladders and perform regular patrol inspections at their own risk.

These high and dangerous places are exactly where the need for predictive maintenance with automated data collection is highest. However, attempting to introduce "wired vibration sensors" here incurs "scaffolding costs" and "long-distance cable laying costs" that are many times the price of the sensors themselves, causing the project to stall due to a poor return on investment.

The True Value of "Fully Wireless" Battery Operation

conanair is "fully wireless (Wi-Fi + battery operated)," requiring neither communication cables nor power cables.

Scaffolding is only needed during the initial "sensor installation" and for "battery replacement" once every few years (*conanair's long-life design allows for continuous operation from several years up to 10 years depending on the measurement frequency). This dramatically lowers the installation cost and the danger of inspections, making constant monitoring of high-altitude equipment—previously given up on—a reality.

The Reality of "Wi-Fi Dead Zones" and Gritty Solutions

Here, we will honestly discuss the "radio wave constraints" that are absolutely unavoidable when introducing a fully wireless system.

There is no magic that says, "Because it's fully wireless, it will easily connect anywhere." Inside a factory full of iron, behind thick concrete walls, or inside metal soundproof covers are harsh environments where Wi-Fi radio waves have extreme difficulty traveling (they attenuate easily).

We don't talk about idealistic "catalog communication distances." We face the physical constraints of the site's radio wave environment and support realistic network designs to ensure data is delivered reliably.

Significant Cost Reduction Through Wireless Infrastructure

In the implementation of wired sensors, the "construction cost" often becomes a bigger bottleneck than the price of the sensor itself. Especially in high places, explosion-proof areas, or underground pits, it can cost thousands of dollars just to run a few meters of wiring. Fully wireless conanair makes predictive maintenance possible for equipment previously neglected due to "unjustifiable costs" by bringing infrastructure construction expenses close to zero.

• Completely eliminates the need for large-scale scaffolding and laying long-distance conduits or LAN cables.
• Enables immediate installation and operation by on-site maintenance staff without waiting for professional electrical work.
• Even when equipment layouts change, infrastructure costs are not wasted as sensors can simply be moved and re-attached.

Ensure Safety and Reduce Costs with Remote Vibration Monitoring

By replacing dangerous manual inspections of high-altitude and hard-to-reach equipment with conanair's wireless automated monitoring, facilities can dramatically improve worker safety and operational efficiency. Overcoming the physical constraints of traditional wired sensors allows you to build a comprehensive predictive maintenance system that covers the entire plant without exorbitant installation costs.

• Eliminate occupational hazards such as falling from high places or working in confined spaces by remotely collecting vibration data safely.
• Significantly cut installation expenses by removing the need for long-distance cabling, electrical wiring, and frequent scaffolding setups.
• Prevent unexpected breakdowns of critical cooling towers and overhead cranes by continuously monitoring for unbalance and bearing degradation.
