The Collaborant Solution

How It Works

The Collaborant solution consists of a sensor package and cloud-based dashboard. The sensor package includes a microprocessor, accelerometer, and a modem. The sensor package communicates with the dashboard via the cellular network, similar to how a smartphone connects to a website. The user logs onto the Collaborant dashboard to do any of the following:

Controlling the sensor package (e.g., setting alert thresholds, schedule monitoring)
Collecting, analyzing, reporting, storing, and exporting data for offline analysis
Setting user privileges (i.e., as an administrator or user)

Sample Charts

It's easy to generate a wide range of charts and reports that show how your equipment is running in real time and over an extended period of time. Users can set their own monitoring thresholds and monitoring intervals, or select default values for a given type of motor or application. The solution comes with built-in libraries of recommended vibration limits at various power settings for major motor manufacturers and models.
