Modal signature monitoring

Understand your equipment

We measure and analyse the modal signature of your equipment, so you can see wear and failure developing instead of guessing.

Modal analysis

Everything that moves or vibrates creates a pattern. When that pattern changes, something in the system has changed. A bearing is wearing, a joint is loosening, a support is settling. It holds for machines and structures, and for people, animals and soil too.

MESHSENSE nodes listen together, synchronised to the microsecond, so they record how the whole system moves as one, not a handful of unrelated readings. This helps us break down complex, high dimensional data into system modes with growth or decay rates for each mode.

That shared clock does more. A disturbance reaches each node a fraction of a millisecond apart. With multiple nodes in a mesh, those differences point back to where it started and help us understand mode shapes in the different points of the system.

The result is monitoring and prediction that companies can actually deploy and use.

What?

What is it for?

Data-driven maintenance: know the condition of your equipment from measurements, not from the calendar.

Predict

Know the rate of decay

See how fast your system is degrading and where failure is starting, early enough to plan the repair instead of reacting to the breakdown.

Retrofit

Make older equipment smart

Give machines that were never built for it a condition report, and a record of how that condition changes over time.

Characterise

Track modal behaviour

Measure natural frequencies, damping and mode shapes, and follow how they shift over time or under changing loads or conditions.

R&D

Channels without the ceiling

Multichannel analysis for R&D teams, without the channel-count limits of a conventional data-acquisition system.

Workflow

From unboxing to data in minutes

MESHSENSE is simple to implement and operate.

  1. Place the nodes

    Unbox the nodes and fix them to the machine or structure you want to monitor.

  2. Provision securely

    Scan each node in the web interface. It receives its communication parameters over an encrypted handshake.

  3. Configure and sync

    Nodes join the mesh and synchronise automatically. Enter their positions on the system, then set sampling rate, record length and schedule.

  4. Measure

    Setup is complete. Measurements start and the results appear in the console.

Team

About us

The MESHSENSE core team are engineers with decades of experience in product development across a range of industries.

Dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) is at the heart of our proprietary MESHSENSE platform, and it makes measurement and analysis a breeze.

We are at an early stage and looking for venture clients: companies who want MESHSENSE developed to fit exactly their equipment and needs. Let’s talk.
