01 · On the asset

One sensor, three senses.

A sealed, battery-powered unit magnetically or stud-mounted on the bearing housing. Three modalities in the same device, so a diagnosis has corroboration instead of one noisy channel.

  • Triaxial vibration — bearings, imbalance, misalignment, looseness
  • Temperature — thermal confirmation and overheating
  • Magnetometer — shaft speed and running state

The sensor measures. The cloud decides.

Doing DSP on the sensor protects battery life. Doing the diagnosis on the sensor would freeze your fault model in firmware. We split it deliberately — so a model improvement reaches every asset you own overnight, without a truck roll.

  • Order-normalised spectrum against measured shaft speed
  • Band energy at BPFO / BPFI / BSF / FTF plus sidebands
  • Self-learning baseline per asset, per load state
  • Bearing geometry resolved automatically from designation

The hardware

Two things go on your floor.

One sensor. One receiver. Nothing else.

A sealed sensor on the machine and a rugged receiver on the wall. Nothing else — no wiring, no panel space, no PLC tags.

Sensor TrackBeat wireless vibration sensor — sealed cylindrical body with a knurled battery cap and a stainless magnetic mounting base.

TrackBeat Sensor

Sealed, battery-powered, and mounted externally on the bearing housing. Three senses in one unit so a diagnosis has corroboration rather than a single noisy channel.

What lands in the crew’s hands

Four fields. Not a spectrum to interpret.

Every diagnosis arrives as failure type, affected component, severity and confidence — plus a recommended action. Severity decides who gets told and how loudly. The alert links to the asset, never to a dead-end inbox.

Diagnostic coverage

Exactly what we detect — and what we don’t.

Eleven fault modes. Two honest gaps.

Most vendors will tell you they detect “anomalies”. Your reliability engineer needs to know which fault modes, sensed how, on which equipment. This is the whole list, including the gaps.

Three things we do that most platforms won’t. Severity is anchored to published ISO 10816/20816 velocity zones — A, B, C, D — so your engineer can audit our judgment against a standard instead of trusting a proprietary 0–100 health score. Confidence is reported separately from severity, so a high-urgency, low-confidence call is never disguised as a certainty. And the model is allowed to abstain: when a signature is out of distribution we return unknown rather than inventing the nearest familiar fault.
The platform

What your team opens every morning.

One application. Four roles. No separate analyst tool.

One web application, four roles, no separate analyst tool. Asset-first by design — people come in to look at a machine, so every alert links straight to the asset it came from.

Fleet

Every asset, worst first.

Grouped by the plant areas you define and sorted by what will actually stop production. An asset inherits the worst severity of any sensor on it, so nothing hides behind an average.

Deployment architecture

What goes on your network.

Two boxes. One outbound connection. Nothing to open.

This is the part your IT group reviews, and it is on this page rather than behind a sales call.

Network posture

Outbound only
The receiver opens a TLS connection out to our broker. No inbound rules, no port forwarding, no VPN to terminate.
OT network isolation
It sits on your IT or a dedicated segment. It never needs to talk to a PLC or a historian to function.
Survives a WAN outage
The on-site dashboard keeps serving locally, and each sensor holds 48 hours of raw waveform on-device.
On-premise option
The full platform can run inside your own network when residency or policy requires it. Same application, same roles.
The mesh does the hard part. Sensors reach the receiver over a long-range sub-GHz link that carries through steel and concrete — so you are not running conduit to a bearing housing or negotiating with the controls group for a PLC tag.
Security, tenancy & governance

Written for the person who has to sign off on it.

Isolated by tenant. Audited by default.

We would rather tell you precisely which controls exist today than show you a wall of badges. Here is the posture, in the language your security review will use.

Tenant isolation
Every customer is a separate tenant, and every query is scoped to the authenticated tenant at the data-access layer. There is no shared-model path by which one customer’s data can influence another’s diagnosis.
Identity & SSO
Authentication is delegated to a managed identity provider with enterprise SSO, multi-factor authentication and organisation-managed provisioning. TrackBeat stores no passwords.
Role-based access
Four roles — Operator, Technician, Reliability Engineer, Organisation Admin — with escalating rights. The API is the enforcement point; the interface mirrors permissions but is never relied on for them.
Audited support access
When TrackBeat support needs to view your data, it is an explicit impersonation that writes an immutable audit-log entry and shows a persistent banner in the session. You can read the full record of every time we looked.
Encryption
All traffic between the receiver, the platform and the browser is encrypted in transit with TLS. Data at rest is encrypted by the managed database platform.
Data residency
TrackBeat is built in Canada and handles data in line with PIPEDA and GDPR principles. Where policy requires data to stay inside your perimeter, the on-premise deployment keeps it there.
Formal certification
We do not currently hold a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 attestation and will not claim one we have not earned. We will complete your security questionnaire, walk your team through the architecture, and share our roadmap to formal audit as part of procurement.
Fits the software you already run

An open platform, not a walled garden.

Documented API. Live streams. No lock-in.

TrackBeat is the condition-monitoring layer. It is not trying to replace your CMMS, your historian or your ERP — it is trying to give them a reason to raise the right work order.

Documented API and live streams

An OpenAPI-described REST interface over assets, sensors, readings, insights and alerts — the same API our own application uses — plus a WebSocket feed for live readings and MQTT at the transport layer. No private endpoints.

Commissioning at scale

Over 1,100 shared equipment templates carry the right geometry, speed and bearing data the moment an asset is commissioned, with bearing fault frequencies resolved automatically from the designation. CSV import means a few hundred machines is a spreadsheet, not a fortnight of typing.

CMMS & historian connectors

RoadmapTurnkey connectors are in development. Today the documented API supports the same integration, built by you or by us during onboarding.

Rollout

From purchase order to a diagnosis you trust, in about 90 days.

Week zero to day ninety.

Condition monitoring has to learn your machines before it can judge them. We would rather set that expectation now than promise insight on day one and lose your confidence in week three.

Week 0

Scope one line

We pick a line together, list its assets by criticality, and agree in writing what success looks like — faults caught, at what lead time, at what false-alarm rate.

Week 1

Install

Sensors mount externally on bearing housings; the receiver goes on a wall. No shutdown, no wiring, no controls work. Your technician commissions each sensor in the app.

Weeks 2–4

Learn baseline

The platform observes each asset across its real duty cycle — every shift, load state and changeover — to learn what normal looks like on your floor, not on a test rig.

Weeks 4–8

Diagnose & tune

Insights start firing. Technicians log what they found when they opened the machine, and each label feeds retraining. This is where the false-alarm rate drops.

Weeks 8–12

Review honestly

We measure against the week-zero document: what we caught, how early, what we missed, what we called wrong. That evidence drives the plant-wide rollout decision.

Why TrackBeat

Five choices you can check for yourself.

Every claim here points at the part of this page that proves it.

Anyone can write that they are transparent. These are the specific decisions that cost us something — and each one links to the section of this site where you can verify it rather than take our word.

01

Severity you can audit

Urgency is anchored to the published ISO 10816/20816 velocity zones — A, B, C, D — not to a proprietary 0–100 health score only we can interpret.

Your reliability engineer can check our judgment against a standard they already own.
See the zones in the coverage table
02

A model allowed to say it does not know

When a signature is out of distribution we return unknown and route it to an engineer, rather than snapping to the nearest familiar fault.

Confidence is reported separately from severity, so an urgent low-confidence call is never dressed as a certainty.
See how we handle uncertainty
03

The gaps published, not buried

Electrical faults and lubrication starvation are listed as not yet detected, in the same table as everything we can.

Everything we cannot do yet is on this page, in the same tables as everything we can.
See the gaps in the coverage table
04

Priced per monitored asset, not per seat

Users are free across all four roles. A monitoring platform only works when the manager, the engineer and the technician are looking at the same screen.

Charging per seat quietly pushes you to give fewer people access to the thing that prevents downtime.
See the commercial model
05

No certification we have not earned

We hold no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 attestation today, and the security section says so in those words rather than showing a badge wall.

You will find out from us at the start of procurement, not from your security team three weeks in.

The business case

What is unplanned downtime costing you?

Your numbers. Your arithmetic. Not someone else's ROI study.

Every vendor in this category will quote you a return figure from a commissioned study of a model customer you have never met. We would rather hand you the calculator and let you put your own plant into it.

Unplanned failures a year6
Average downtime per failure8 h
Cost of downtime per hour$12,000
Share caught early enough to act on60%

That last one is the honest variable. Not every failure gives warning — a seized bearing from a lubrication error can go in hours. Rotating-equipment faults that develop over days are what this platform is for, and you should set that share yourself rather than let us set it for you.

This is arithmetic, not a promise. It multiplies four numbers you supplied and claims nothing about what we will detect on your equipment. The only figure worth trusting is the one measured against your own criteria at day 90 — which is exactly what the pilot is for.
Commercial model

Hardware once. Software per monitored asset. Users are free.

Quoted against your asset list, not your headcount.

We do not charge per seat, because a monitoring platform only works when the whole plant is looking at the same screen. Pricing is quoted against your asset list.

Talk to us
Before you ask

The questions that decide it.

Do we have to stop the line to install this?
No. Sensors mount externally on the bearing housing — magnetic or stud-mounted — and communicate wirelessly. There is no wiring to pull, no PLC integration, and nothing that requires the machine to be de-energised. A typical line is instrumented during a normal shift.
How long before it tells us something useful?
Live readings and running-state data are available from day one. Diagnosis needs a baseline, which takes roughly two to four weeks of real duty cycle. Any vendor promising a trustworthy fault call on day one is showing you a generic model that has never seen your machines.
What about false alarms? We’ve been burned before.
This is the failure mode that kills condition-monitoring programmes, so we designed against it three ways. Severity and confidence are separate fields, so a low-confidence call is never dressed up as certainty. The model may abstain and return unknown for an out-of-distribution signature instead of guessing at the nearest familiar fault. And every outcome your technician logs feeds retraining, so alerts get sharper over the first few months rather than staying noisy forever.
Do we need a reliability engineer on staff to use it?
No. The output is a plain-language diagnosis — failure type, affected component, severity, confidence, recommended action — aimed at a maintenance technician, not a vibration analyst. If you do have an analyst, the full spectrum, fault-frequency overlays and contributing features are there for them to audit every call we make.
Will this replace our CMMS?
No, and it shouldn’t. TrackBeat is the condition-monitoring layer that tells your CMMS which work order deserves to exist. Turnkey connectors are on the roadmap; today the documented API supports that integration, and we will help build it during onboarding.
What about hazardous areas, and battery life?
Tell us your area classification during scoping and we will tell you honestly whether we can serve it today — we would rather lose a zone than sell you hardware that shouldn’t be there. On battery: sensors carry on-board fuel gauging that reports state of charge to the platform, and we size expected life against your sampling cadence at scoping rather than quoting a marketing number.
Next step

Put it on one line. Judge us at day 90.

Bring your worst-behaving production line. We will scope it, install it, agree the success criteria in writing before we start, and review the results against them honestly — including what we got wrong.
